49ers..Braves..Celtics
I made an insensitive comment about him having HIV after last game, but damn he's really going through it. He's been sick for like 2-3 months now and doctors still don't really know what it is. Maybe it's Mono or long covid like mentioned earlier.

He has to completely shut it down. I know he wants to be out there but he's been more of a liability than anything and his health is more important.

Brad Stevens really hired Joe Mazzulla to coach a championship contender so he can learn on the job. Amazing

Only in America

This is such a better scenario than my Lakers and JJ Redikk. We're legit cooked on the West.

Mazzulla isn't a "Head Coach" to me. It's a lot of very basic rotations and out of bounds plays.

He lives and dies by a) the talent of JT and the 3-point shooting of White and Pritchard (I'm not mentioning Brown - he matters but it's the 3 point shooting that really matters here and he has 116 this year vs the other 3 all having +250) b) the veterain leadership of Horford and Jrue c) favorable reffing

He's a "Head Motivational/Stoic Speaker"more than anything.
I don't see him do much more than having basic predictable rotations (he'll usually play Porzingis it doesn't matter how good or useless he plays) and having a few smart out-of-bounds plays, but nothing crazy.

He is -in fact- learning on the job. But respect to the org and the team - it got them a chip. And I can't stand the Celtics (or the Asterisk Champs the Warriors with KD era) but Rings matter.
