Mazzulla - Part Three: Being Misunderstood and Returning to His Roots

In Part Three of our original series getting to know Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla, we continue to look at what matters most in his life, including his faith, how a new dog gave him perspective on being misunderstood, and the importance of food and family.

As a Boston fan how can you not like and support Joe?

[@ICFJAY]

@@akllls617 that has nothing to do with Joe! The guy before him was a grown man that couldn’t keep his dick in his pants for the sake of the Celtics!

[@sebastiangordillo6238]

joe its like jurgen kloop in liverpool. he was a regular player but he decide to be a coach and look they won a champion. i hope joe can take us to that dream

[@ParsnipPizza]

​@@akllls617Ime screwed Ime. Literally and figuratively.

[@chumaifezue4896]

[@rossissilly9508]

[@njmksr8686]

[@collinaburke]

[@tylerriley2587]

And they were saying we don’t have it in us

[@hustlegrind2shine]

Makes no sense but ok

[@ThisIsTheTruth34]

Im not religous in any way but I respect his and his drive to be a better person. And if that is what it takes then keep doing it man. Proud of my Coach and my Team.

[@susiebarroso7342]

I love that Joe is open to talk about faith 🙏 so so important . Love that!! So awesome to listen to and see . God hears us . He wants us to have a relationship with him . This was awesome to watch !!🙏♥️🎉🏀

[@iambragz]

It is nice to see Joe smiling and that's rare..

[@Cozzzyboy]

I miss Ime for damn sure but he has had the hardest job fr after taking that job. He kept us at a championship level and had also improved this team and their mindset. Bro is only in year 2 .. we are golden

[@ICFJAY]

JOE is a true believer in God and Yeshua! I’m for sure a Fan

[@sprinter18]

Never paid attention to this guy. After watching this, just realizing how damn intelligent and level headed he is

[@liamsullivan2326]

How do you not Love Joe Mazzulla

[@marytanana4009]

I live down the street from coach's HS, Bishop Hendricken, and Vanda restaurant that he was eating at is spectacular. Both are in Warwick, RI. Great to see his personal side and family!

[@JIGGALANSKY]

Great to see someone from Rhode Island on the big stage

[@AmySloan-yb6qk]

Inspirational story from being maybe a basketball player your whole life to being hurt s couple of times to then coach on one or the best teams in the NBA

[@beatrizc8043]

[@ty101ty]

Joe apologizing to Drummond and the coach for hacking him is so sweet 💚

[@bostonswagg9456]

At first I didn't think I was gonna like Joe, but I gave him a shot an I started to like him an now I think he's a top 5 NBA coach

[@iqfts]

He is not 😂

[@PRODFOD]

Working with incredibly talented players also helps. I wouldn't say he's top 5 but if the C's win this year. Yeah, he will be.

[@The2006Scaper]

[@Banner-18]

Mazulla is going to be a great head coach one day. But I worry about this Celtics team with a young, inexperienced, head coach going into a potential final with the Nuggets. Some teams don’t need a strong, authoritative coach but Boston is not one of those teams. They switch off, get lazy and play down to their opposition all the time. Our best hope is that Minnesota knocks off Denver if we want a chip this year.

[@judahtunes2245]

Joe who are those people in your chapel ?????? fix that

[@onetake721]

Word lol

[@carlosguerra8557]

It’s called being a Catholic

[@Rajonrondoo99]

And he’s talking about going to Israel wtf joe…

[@judahtunes2245]

that man trippin lol@@onetake721

[@judahtunes2245]

lol i got no issue with the issue trip but those ppl in his chapel are suss lol@@Rajonrondoo99

[@juneauz]

Hard to get through all that Jesus stuff, but after that - pretty interesting watch.

[@bostonswagg9456]

Joe, you got into church because it was that or prison.

[@carlosguerra8557]

Your a fucking weirdo bro

[@Rajonrondoo99]

Lost some respect knowing he supports and goes to Israel… cmon Joe

[@fortunbras]

He'll certainly lose sleep over you not respecting him.

[@michaeljolley9118]

Israel is honestly a life changing experience, seeing all of the holy sites for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, walking where Jesus walked is pretty special. People who’ve gone to Jerusalem understand this

[@saviodias8136]

Joe went on a pilgrimage, following the footsteps Of Our Lord, not supporting Israel.

[@badlandssocialclub]

Jesus was Palestinian, and if Joe is a true christian he better be supporting Palestine.

[@peterdore3677]

@@badlandssocialclub What? lol

[@hustlegrind2shine]

Blah blah blah Just Win a Chip alrdy or break the team up

[@tennsmoothie]

Mazzulla - the dumbest coach in the league. Celts are so talented that they are able to win in the regular season in spite of him. Lots of flaws as a coach, but the worst is his stubborn offensive scheme that he will not let go of. Team needs player motion without the ball in their offense instead of the iso-dribbles, ball screens, stand around the 3-point circle and watch Ttum or Brown dribble the air out of the ball. As much as they can score now, if stubborn Joe would implement some motion, they would be unstoppable.
