not this year but he did get a blocked shot in 2024

Yeah man, that’s why you’re not on the ballot for MVP

at this point I’m not sure if I’m bothered more by the answers or the reporters who keep asking this question that he clearly doesnt want to even think about.

why are u people so confused lmfao

he’s basically just saying he doesn’t care

“We havent really done shit”

Coach Mazzulla SLAMS the team staff and calls them useless

I love Mazulla 

He’s a young guy, looking for some longevity in his profession, he don’t want it

Dwane Casey (2018) - Fired in the same season.

Mike Budenholzer (2019) - Fired four years later in 2023.

Nick Nurse (2020) - Fired three years later in 2023.

Tom Thibodeau (2021) - Fired in 2025 after four years.

Monty Williams (2022) - Fired just one year later.

Mike Brown (2023) - Fired within a year.

But they were with them shooting in the gym!

i know everybody says this but ehs the funniest coach

“Accepting this award takes away from my limited, precious time, to rewatch The Town. So just shove it up your fucking ass.”

Some of this is okay but not getting back on defense is inexcusable

“Coaching basketball and playing basketball are different”

-Joe Mazzulla

I find everything this dude says to be corny… is he pretending to not know what a coach does? He’s undeniably great at his job, but I don’t know why anyone would think he’s some sort of modern-day philosopher. 

“Why am I not in contention for Christian of the Year?”

Simply so, he doesnt care not wants to be in the drama circle of who should be COY, making a case and whatever, if the trophy falls it falls, he dont wanna engage with all the discussion and fabricated debate about it, so if you toss those questions his way he just says:

“My team is great, and therefore i am in consideration, if you know how my team being great puts me into the conversation for the award, good. Otherwise dont expect me to tell you why or explain, i dont give a damn”

I don’t get why everyone in the comments is hating on Joe Mazzulla for saying this. If you don’t like him because he’s a serial killer, then that’s fine, but he’s a good coach and the players respond to him.

Being intentionally obtuse in an attempt to be humble is certainly a choice; no shit you didn’t get player stats as a coach sherlock

I like Joe Mazzulla

As much as I hate the Celtics and the city of Boston, I love this guy lol

Damnit Joe why you gotta be so likeable

Idk, I thought his answers were kind of funny lol

I’ve had enough, let him fight Chimaev

I am thinking that if Joe were awarded Coach of the Year, he would just say, “y’all gave it to the wrong person.”

If they fire kash, Joe Mazzulla should take over the fbi.

some of y’all taking this too seriously lol

My goodness some of you are crying way too hard in these comments🤣. Trying to act like you don’t give a shit about Joe yet take every opportunity to comment the same thing under every Mazzulla post. “unoriginal dipshit😡😡😡”

I’m sure he’ll be appreciative if he wins but he wants the attention and credit on his players hard work, not on himself. Not sure why that’s so challenging for some of you. Sure he could be nicer about it, but if that’s why you’re upset then why are you being an asshole in the comments?

Has the same energy as Morgan freeman at the end of Shawshank

“Go on and stamp your forms sonny, because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit”

Psycho Joe. Locked in

I hate the Celtics, but God I like this dude.

I like the guy

Misleading title. He’s not commenting on him being in contention. He’s commenting on the overall nature of the award.

straight into my veins

Joe Mazzulla is a straight up mad man. The dudes mindset and mentality are just unmatched. The Celtics are already a terrifying team but just knowing this type of dude is coaching them makes it even more daunting. The noise around him just doesn’t phase him whatsoever.

GOAT

it sounds like the boston media is treating this as some MVP award and we’re just getting these clips out of context. like it’s a ‘will be fired’ award lol. like how casey was gone after COTY and nurse won the title. mike brown won unanimous with the kings

Do ppl enjoy his responses? I assume that’s why reporters keep asking him the same question? We get it he doesn’t value the COTY, how will he go on if he wins it

I think people are taking this way too seriously. The way it reads to me is that he doesn’t consider the coaching aspect of the game as important as the players executing the game plan, so he doesn’t care about the award for coaching

He’s so edgy.

Didn’t he host a media day where his staff shit all over the people that covers his team for about an hour?

Serious question: is he on the spectrum?

Naw y’all smoked them media folks tho…

Easily the most normal thing he’s said on a podium

Don’t make me like this motherfucker. DON’T!

Mazzulla comes across as kind of a dick, but like a good natured dick. Every group of guys usually has the one guy who you point to and go “what’s his problem he’s kind of an asshole” and the others guys “ahh yeah sometimes but he’s really a good guy”

Acknowledging he is a great coach. But a total fucking weirdo as a human being.

Right…?

I agree since they didn’t so shit they should get paid shit

……yes Joe, that is why it is an award specifically for coaches, separate from the players who do all the things you’re describing and get awarded for.

Ahhh yes the indifference persona gets old quick.

Trying too hard

“..Thank you, Joe.”

That’s my psy-coach

Can someone undraw their name? Dude just needs to relax and watch the town.

Don’t think he understands what a coach is

This guys is so insufferable

The trainers, medical staff, assistant coaches etc never get recognized. I’d like to know who the top training staff is based on the injury prevention techniques and the fewest number of injuries. I’d like to know which assistant coach watched the most film and provided the most detailed scouting reports every year. It seems we could use AI to unleash a new set of ancillary awards for the people that never get credit but make the whole team better.

Oh, I can’t tell you how much I hate this bullshit. This was a team during the preseason was going into a “Gap Year” traded a bunch of vets, lost Tatum. ESPN had them with 40 wins before the season.

If this was any other organization but … FTC, FTC, FTC. FTC FTC, FTC, FTC. FTC FTC, FTC, FTC. FTC FTC, FTC, FTC. FTC FTC, FTC, FTC. FTC FTC, FTC, FTC. FTC FTC, FTC, FTC. FTC FTC, FTC, FTC.

What an absolutely imbecilic take from a truly annoying moron. Yeah idiot, it’s called coach of the year. You’re not supposed to take any shots.

He should just use the time to convince others of how great “The Town” is

Yea thats why it’s called coach of the year and not player of the year. We get it bro 

This dude is awesome and he doesn’t waver. Like or hate him, he sticks to what he says

He does not care about coty. The more you ask him, the more he’ll tell you that.

It’s not surprising in the least.

These answers are stupid

Weirdo

People who don’t care about awards shouldn’t be given one.

I know this is his shtick and I’m sure everyone in the organization appreciates the value of the respective coaches and trainers behind the scenes but I’d be a little insulted if I were one of them to have him publicly dismiss my talent and contribution so flippantly.

So corny. If he wasn’t a coach he’d be one of those losers posting in other team’s subreddits about how he’s “coming in peace” and asking if he can root for them

What a dope. Celtics should cut his pay if he admits he does nothing. Kind of a slap in the face to all coaches
