The Boston Celtics remained undefeated Monday night, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 119-108. The game was entertaining, and the superstars came out to play. But a sequence at the end of the third quarter drew much of the attention.
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla did his best to draw even more attention to the matter while appearing on Boston’s Home For Sports radio show with some pretty epic responses and ideas on fixing the NBA’s physicality issues. Celtics Coach Joe Mazzulla Calls on NBA to Adopt Fighting Joe Mazzulla Decries NBA’s Lack of Physicality He might be mad, but all Mazulla is asking for is a little more intensity in the grand scheme of things. That’s not too much, is it? Mazzulla might have the most epic, entertaining, and head-scratching press conference messages in all sports these days.
Within the last two weeks, he has told reporters, ‘ We’re all gonna be dead soon ,’ and ‘ None of you are invited to my funeral .’ When asked what the court tasted like during the Celtics championship banner and ring presentation, he responded, ‘ Blood .’ He says whatever he wants; it’s really just incredible.
Mazzullas most recent comments, which included, yes, a baseball bat, regarding the league’s lack of physicality and fighting follow the aftermath of Monday night’s game against Milwaukee, where a little bit of scuffling ensued at the close of the third quarter. Jrue Holiday had just missed a layup, and a 24-second violation was called instead of a sim.
