These people really blaming Mozulla for Celtics failure? Did Mozulla tell Tatum to shoot 0-10 and 0-14 on 76ers series? And by the way, are y'all aware that the Heat were 1 shot away from beating the Celtics last year? I think they are just doing Mozulla dirty
Woj is the one who broke the story on Udoka and got him fired and now that they are imploding he is reporting on the coaching not being enough. If you would have kept your mouth shut Celtics wouldn’t be in this position!
Yeah if Woj is saying this, Mazulla is out this year. Has there been another playoffs with more coaches being fired?
Mazulla is younger than Steph. I hate that they’re going to fire him. A rookie head coach at least got them to the ECF.
If you keep firing coaches almost every season is what mirrors on organization disarray. Now take a look of what Miami.
A lot of excuses all of a sudden.
As a rockets fan, this is just more exciting. Ime is going to work wonders for those young guys in Houston.
Less not put it all on the Coach this the pretty much the team they had last year, this is on the players they are not doing they job period.
HC merry-go-round this off season for sure!!!
If Udoka had this team this year they'd have won 65 games & already in the finals waiting on the west.
Yeah no doubt they miss Ime, but its not like last year was an easy run either. People seem to be assuming that with Ime this year, the Celtics would be in the Finals but they botched numerous games last year too.
Sure they got past Miami last year JUST with Jimmy rimming out that 3 in G7, but after Brooklyn, they went 7 with Milwaukee missing Middleton before going 7 against Miami too. During that time, they gave up Game 5 at home vs Milwaukee, had to win G6 on the road then won G7 at home. Against Miami, dropped G3 and G6 at home before just pulling it out. Then in the Finals, up 2-1 against GS, they melt down and lose 3 straight to lose the Finals.
Would Ime have done a bit better? Perhaps but its no safe bet. Last year's team had its issues too
WOJ YOUR NOT SPECIAL. I KNEW THIS AS A LAYMEN SMH MOEZULLA IS A STUBBORN COACH
They got problems 😞😒😒
As a Celtics fan I've been saying this
fcking excuses
Celtics front office shouldn't hesitate to upgrade the coaching. Frank Vogel would be my pick.
Dawg…all I hear are excuses. All credit goes to the Heat. Boston Celtics are GROWN men you really gonna let yourselves be stomped out on the worlds biggest stage and blame the coach? Jason and Jaylen did NOT SHOW UP. They pouted on the calls they didn’t get and looked completely defeated. Heat is a team that always has heart. They play the right way and the best coach in the league in Spo and are reaping the rewards. They do well under pressure and got that dog in ‘em
As a diehard Celtics fan, even though my immediate desire would be for them fire Mazulla. I think they should give this roster and the coach one more go at it next year. Allow mazulla to add in some better assistants and give whoever is left from the current an added year of experience under their belt
B s just old fashion beat down by mia
Exactly….ownership destroyed this team
If Boston was smart they’d hire Nick Nurse. Giving him those defensive weapons would be scary. Plus he has that Ime type of attitude.
Celtics focus more on small ball thats why they suck. They have been OUT REBOUNDED by the heat. Horford is a great veteran but he cant defend a much faster Adebayo.
Their stars ⭐️ just don’t shine in big games…
💯 the Celtics organization missed handled Ime Udoka situation
So now they want to admit it was a dumb decision 😂😂😂. Keep that same energy Celtics
Celtics need a new coach it’s simple
