Joe Mazzulla a finalist for Coach of the Year
Joe Mazzulla, Mitch Johnson of San Antonio, and J.B. Bickerstaff of Detroit are the three finalists for Coach for the Year, as announced on NBC.
“I don’t give a shit”
-Joe Mazzulla, probably
Would’ve believed this was a real quote lmao
This is:
“I don’t need it. I think it’s a stupid award. They shouldn’t have it. And it’s more about the players. It’s more about the work that the staff puts in. It’s just that simple,” Mazzulla said.
“I really don’t ever want to be asked or talk about it again. It’s just that dumb. So, the players play. It’s about them. Staff works their ass off. I’m grateful to have them.”

I would laugh so hard if he wins it and then declines to accept it.
I think he would bring the whole staff to the podium with him and talk about them the whole time

Always reminds me of this scene lol
Joe would downvote this
What does “being a finalist” even mean? The votes are in. This is clickbait
The post itself isn’t but the announcement is engagement farming.
NBA awards have been like this for a while. They announce the finalists (top 3 vote recipients) for all the awards and then announce the winners throughout the playoffs.
Honestly, I think it’s a bit much but at least the non winners get a measure of recognition
Yeah lol pretty sure he’s already won easily based off the voting excel
“Who cares?”
I know Mozzarella doesn’t care about this award, but I’ve wanted Brad to win one so many times that I want Mazz to get it.
I know it’s a regular season award, but I’ll never forgive the media for awarding Dwayne Casey - a coach who just got swept and fired like weeks prior - the award over Brad
-Joe Mazzulla
Who cares-Joe
I mean….yeah
I really think they should change the award to staff of the year and then the coaches would least get to hype their staff. Also it really is a staff not just one coach these day.
The fact that he’s come out and said the award is stupid is pretty much a dead giveaway that he won’t win it (nor does he care, as has been clearly stated) but if he wasn’t Top 3 there would have been a major revolt by Celtics fans and NBA fans alike.
They should give it to Joe just to piss him off
