@@bihapi you sound like a troll. the topic here isnt the celtics. learn to read. its about joe and his faith, his belief in God. the OP doesnt mentioned the celtics a single time. and lol do your research. this isnt the easiest path to the finals ever. this is the 19th. bubble lakers were the 18th. denver last year was the 3rd. you conveniently forgot that an injured 20 ppg top 5 rim protecting big offsets those injured players on the other side. you name luka's injury. he still played. why not name jaylen brown and his broken left wrist since indy game 1? just a salty hater who wants to drive the topic to something else to cry about. so again, if you dont know how to read, this is about JOE and GOD.

This man is something else. I most certainly had my doubts, to put it mildly- but Joe and the boys did it. Couldn't be happier for them. "I don't deserve it, but because of Grace, I'm here." - Joe M.

Jason and Brown maybe the successful experiment on how to keep two major players instead of trading a player after two years together like franchises are accustomed doing, if this makes any sense. Seven years together, great job Boston organization for not listening to the critics.

I remember when celtics fans wanted him to get fired last playoffs. LOL

[@josephdizon3493]

When the Celtics lost last year at the Eastern Conference Finals, I remembered saying to myself the Celtics will comeback even stronger and might even a win championship. And I was right because what Joe Mazzulla has done is something unheard of. In his two years of coaching the Celtics, he has achieved a lot that few coaches in the NBA have done. And he’s only what 35 years old? I can potentially see him coaching the USA basketball team in the future.

[@therealnasr]

But dont forget LeBum won the in season Tournament 😂😂😂

[@granola9073]

Talk about your daddy another time weirdo

[@nothembajozi2862]

So instead of celebrating with the Celtics you're thinking about Lebron James. Is there nothing meaningful in your life that Lebron occupies your little brain so much. Don't you want to adopt a cat?

[@Mitch_Feral]

It's been fun insisting to people, for two years, that he was a great coach, while they whined about time outs and tried to ignore the absurd leap in the quality of the Celtics' play and resilience. The players deserve an equal share of credit for actually dialing in and doing the work, but Mazzulla and his staff took a team struggled in the big moments and turned them into one that muscled through them with relative ease. I love our sicko coach.

[@NYMikeandMore]

@nbaonespn Did you really just sensor this man for giving Glory to God? I think most of us know the answer to that.. what a shame! God Bless coach Mazzulla for giving credit to God first, in a league that CLEARLY needs him the most. Wow…
