    This guy is a psychopath. I don’t give a shit what anyone tells me. There is nothing behind those eyes.

    Honestly, I’d be pretty pissed about all the “too many threes” talk at this point too. He said a couple things about analytics, and now every bum cries about how “Mazzulla ball” lives and dies by the three even in games where we shoot less threes than the opponent. Threes are a big part of his gameplan, but we take threes because our offense is good at generating open ones when teams load up on the Jays. Not because we seek out opportunities to chuck contested ones.

    And if you listen to the Reddick podcast he did, he acknowledges that you can’t just rely on shooting variance in the playoffs. We’ve been posting up Tatum, Porzingis, and even Brown and Jrue very purposefully this season. Its an extremely overblown narrative parroted by people who have already made up their minds about him.

      Yeah everyone’s so worried about the “clapping back” it’s hard to even understand his argument. Celtics have shot themselves out of so many playoff games instead of going to the hole. Saying they shoot too many 3’s is not like a hot take.

    Was Mazulla the guy who was like “oh, I didn’t know that Jesus and Mary were there tonight” after a reporter asked him about royalty being at the game, or something?

    Removing this from a basketball situation, like yeah. That’s literally the scientific method. You go off the best available information? When proven wrong, you reevaluate, and re-hypothesize.

    I honestly loved this exchange. It wasn’t even mean spirited like some of the comments suggest. He just shot back at him.

      He sarcastically said his article was good when he meant it was awful. That’s not mean to you?

        If there’s anyone worth being mean to, it’s Washburn. All that dude does is complain and be mean.
