SAD NEWS: Boston Celtics Head Coach Joe Mazzulla has announced his resignation due to…
I must have missed all of the expectations and forecasts that said the Celtics would have one of the best NBA regular seasons ever. Many people claim that COTY is about going above and beyond; however, the Celtics were among the top three in terms of wins beyond their preseason Vegas total, so what’s up? It’s okay if you disagree that Joe Mazzulla should receive COTY in light of what transpired in Oklahoma City. You’re mistaken, in my opinion, but okay. Not even in the Top 3? That is absurd. With all the discussion about the quality on his roster, does OKC really not have a #2 pick and a top-2 MVP? Is MIN lacking a four-time DPOY and two #1 picks? After being hired just two days before the start of training camp the previous season, Mazzulla put together a stellar 57-win season. He then followed it up with 64 victories, the fifth-best point difference in history, and the greatest offense in history. I don’t know, it appears like the coach has a significant influence there.
In any case, the players, Brad, Joe, Wyc, and the entire group have all expressed since the beginning of the season that none of this garbage really matters. Others have much bigger goals than MVP and individual accolades, so let them concentrate on those things. I believe you have to look at Joe because of the pronounced difference in the level of focus the Celts have shown throughout the entire season. Hearing him discuss all the Celtics pass on him this season is just the most recent proof of this team’s collective mentality, which is precisely what we fans have been asking for.
As a fan, that’s all I could ever want to hear from the guy who has the only true case of a “snub” and more. Do I now believe that Mazzulla would tell you it’s nonsense if you handed him some truth serum regarding his COTY snub? Most likely. It’s almost unbelievable that a squad that dominated the league from beginning to end wasn’t even in the Top 3, but he seems to understand that he needs to remain locked in and concentrated on the correct goal. What’s even more satisfying than being named COTY? become a coach who wins championships. What could be more satisfying than being named MVP? An MVP for the Finals.
This is another reason that I can’t wait for Game 2. Even though the first game’s blowout was amazing, I’m curious to watch the Celtics’ strategy and focus for tomorrow night. We all know what often transpired in this location in previous years. The Celtics start to smell their own farts and pay attention to the media’s commentary about how simple this should be a 4-0 sweep. Then, they lose a hard game at home and all of their hard work from Game 1 is undone.
Joe appears to be aware of this.
Furthermore, I don’t think he receives enough recognition for the shift in perspective that has occurred this year. If it eventually pays off, only time will tell, but what we’re hearing sounds really good. reach ensure that you are the first team reach 16 wins, the first stage is for this entire team, starting with the coach, to seem as committed as ever.
