If they fired Mazzulla would he even get a HC interview anywhere else?

Correct, we arent seeing it. Something rare is happening.

You just don't know how often the higher seed wins in the NBA. One of the league's biggest criticisms is that it is too predictable.

Hell, the Heat this year became just the sixth 8 seed to beat a 1 seed.

No 8 seed has ever won the NBA Finals. In fact, only one has made it to the Finals.

No 7 seed has ever even made the finals.

All that shit happens in the NHL constantly.

Yup the 2012 LA Kings are a good NHL example.

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Trade Brown to Atlanta for Murray
Trade Smart to Portland for Nurkic
Trade for Jordan Clarkson
Trade for PJ Tucker

I’m telling you you’re better

That's a 48 win and guaranteed 2nd round ceiling team if i ever saw one

Sucks for the Celtics, but more parity in this league is a good thing.

Lots of division one schools.


.....Oooooh, you meant ...well, in that case, no.

 

[smithformeragent]

Now you take a time out?

 

[Mione134]

Pritchard. Hauser. Kornet. THEY look like they're into it.

Meanwhile our superstars are sitting on a bench because they didn't show up again. Pathetic.

And at least Wyc and Brad can stand on their tearful moral highground after firing Udoka

Udoka should of kept it in his f***ing pants. He thought with the wrong head. He's a dumbass.

 

[smithformeragent]

I’m sure Mazulla’s extension is chump change compared to what players in this league make.

The easiest move you can make is to can the coach.

THEN if you don’t break through and win, maybe you look at major changes to the roster.

But once you deal away a big piece, there’s no going back, so you’d better be sure.

Plenty of Division III colleges in the area.

Shitty situation but panicking and moving the key pieces would be a Seguin-like mistake.

Can’t be moving superstars for Trae Young level players. Just have to let them figure it out.

The biggest worry is Jaylen Brown doesn’t want to be here and they’re going to have to move him for scraps.

 

[smithformeragent]

Laughingstock

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Okay the Brady curse exists but didn't the Bruins lose game 7 to the Blues before Brady left?

Valid points, have a tough conversation with Brown & his team, is he in or out !

 

[Spanky185]

Put Swayman in for Mezzula

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Can update this almost every 2 games but the most points the Celtics gave up in last years playoffs was 118. That's 7 times in 16 games these playoffs they have given up more. Remember when this teams identity from Stevens to Udoka was defense?

That is how they stayed close in games when they weren't scoring.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Legitimately the most embarrassing effort I've ever seen from a Celtics team.

 

[McGarnagle]

Everything started going downhill for the Bruins and Celtics when Satancon came to Boston at the end of April. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

lol no shit.

 

[Mountain]

This team has quit so badly, you'd think they're being led by Bergy and Marchand

 

[Alicat]

One more game until Mazzulla gets fired.

 

[Lord Ahriman]

One more game until Mazzulla gets fired.

If up to me, I'd fire him tonight.

The problem is Brown is rapidly approaching a contract extension which will hamstring the franchise for like a decade

I wasn't joking when I said Brad should fire him last game and step in for game 3. Too late now.
