Speaker 1: So we talked about this before. I did some things
Speaker 1: on social media about it, but it's worth mentioning again.
Speaker 1: Is Joe Missoula, apparently, the head coach of the Boston Celtics,
Speaker 1: loves the movie The Town so much that he watches
Speaker 1: The Town four times a week, that's every other day,
Speaker 1: actually more than every other day, just to get into
Speaker 1: the mood. And in the inspiration of getting in that
Speaker 1: Boston mindset, he has used one of the movie's catchphrases,
Speaker 1: apparently to motivate the team this season this postseason. It's
Speaker 1: who's car are we gonna take? Who's time out we're
Speaker 1: gonna call? But this is not about quirks. It's kind
Speaker 1: of about his quirks, which is a basketball coaching quirk,
Speaker 1: which is like not coaching. Yeah, we're talking about timeouts.
Speaker 1: Better put Joe Mizula's inexplicable decisions about not taking them.
Speaker 1: Last night, the Celtics lost home court advantage and they
Speaker 1: dominated three out of the four quarters of that game
Speaker 1: to the Miami Heat. They got cooked so bad in
Speaker 1: the third quarter that they couldn't come back from it.
Speaker 1: They were the better team pretty much the entire game.
Speaker 1: They were up eleven at halftime, the Heat were a
Speaker 1: ten and a half point underdog. Coming into the third quarter,
Speaker 1: the Heat were getting you better than four to one
Speaker 1: oz's just to take them to win the game. And
Speaker 1: you know what, the Miami Heat scored forty six points
Speaker 1: that third quarter. And during that time, when the Heat
Speaker 1: erased an eleven point deficit and actually, I don't know,
Speaker 1: took the lead, Joe Mazzulla didn't call a single timeout,
Speaker 1: not one, not one. When the Heat pulled within six
Speaker 1: seems like a time to take a time out, bam
Speaker 1: adebayo and one no timeout a Heat three to pull
Speaker 1: within one position. Uh No, not a timeout, not even
Speaker 1: at the tie ball game, would get Joe Mizula to say,
Speaker 1: I must stop the bleeding. We must have a conversation,
Speaker 1: get your asses back in the game. Nothing. The entire
Speaker 1: third quarter, Miami ripped apart, his defense outscored the Celtics
Speaker 1: by twenty And what did Joe Mizula do, Not a
Speaker 1: goddamn dame nothing. He sat on his hands, leaving the
Speaker 1: players to flounder and wonder and try to figure it
Speaker 1: out on their own. What do we even have a
Speaker 1: coach for? If you're gonna make them figure it out, like, huh,
Speaker 1: what's happening? That's what? What are these timeouts? Even four?
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart said this in the following of the game,
Speaker 1: Joe's real big on not bailing us out when we play, Like, shit,
Speaker 1: we've got to look at our selves in the mirror.
Speaker 1: Jo can call a timeout and then what we do
Speaker 1: the same thing. It's on us. Joan is coaching staff
Speaker 1: putting a lot of work to come up with a
Speaker 1: game plan. Does like I'm confused. Does that Do we
Speaker 1: just not like need someone in the game to kind
Speaker 1: of like recalibrate the troops, Like is that not what
Speaker 1: we're doing anymore? Or what? Like I I don't I
Speaker 1: don't quite get that. Like Marcus Smart when he calls
Speaker 1: a timeout and then what he tells you, Hey, go
Speaker 1: over there. Hey, when this person does this, you go
Speaker 1: over there, hey. Like this man is open, he's pointing
Speaker 1: out things that he can see from the bench because
Speaker 1: he's not playing and you are. He can make adjustments,
Speaker 1: he can make substitutions, so many options at his disposal
Speaker 1: other than doing nothing. I'm so upset with him. It's
Speaker 1: actually kind of adorable, you know, because you know it
Speaker 1: when it's happening is you know, before it even happens,
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. You're like, all right, they're up
Speaker 1: by eleven, it's halftime. How are they gonna fuck this
Speaker 1: one up? It's like wow, So they ask him. They
Speaker 1: asked Joe Missoula the presser, Uh. The media is like hey,
Speaker 1: they'd asked it in a very funny way too, Like,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the concept of like taking timeouts.
Speaker 2: And going up against spol show who's constantly making adjustments
Speaker 2: on the fly, willing to kind of call timeouts and
Speaker 2: change things up so quickly. How did you balance like
Speaker 2: trying to let things play out in the ways you
Speaker 2: usually do, versus like having to seize control. I called
Speaker 2: to in the first quarter, thinking more like the third quarter.
Speaker 2: I don't call two in the first quarter, save it
Speaker 2: for the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Run What are you talking about? I have a question.
Speaker 1: Does he not know that he gets more like that
Speaker 1: his little bag of timeouts replenishes throughout the game. Does
Speaker 1: Joe Mazoula know how this part of the game works?
Speaker 1: Because when he asks, let's just really quickly, let's just
Speaker 1: go back to it, just because I'm lost.
Speaker 2: Don't call two in the first quarter, save it for
Speaker 2: the third quarter. Run.
Speaker 1: I don't call two in the first quarter to save
Speaker 1: it for the third quarter, right, No, you had other ones,
Speaker 1: like you called two in the first quarter, and there
Speaker 1: are more to be used in the third quarter. Joe Mizzoula,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. I've listened to this clip
Speaker 1: twenty plus times today. I swear to God or swear
Speaker 1: to whatever, and I don't know what's happening. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if he knows that he has extra timeouts. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he thinks that he has four of
Speaker 1: them for the whole game and he used them all.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he understands that, like you can
Speaker 1: actually call timeouts every quarter, like you can call him
Speaker 1: in every situation. As long as you have you can
Speaker 1: call them. And I know that everyone is killing him
Speaker 1: for it, and you know what riders NBA TV people,
Speaker 1: especially fans. As for the game, the twitter account Bucks
Speaker 1: film Room described it best friend of show Bucks film
Speaker 1: Room that Twitter account fucking hates me. The stages of
Speaker 1: losing to the heat in the playoffs. Denial, They can't
Speaker 1: keep playing like this, disbelief, How do they keep playing
Speaker 1: like this? Anger? There's no fucking way the Heat should
Speaker 1: be playing like this, bargaining God, they must have made
Speaker 1: a deal with the devil or something, and then depression. Damn,
Speaker 1: we lost to the Heat. We're going home. That pretty
Speaker 1: much sums it up, folks. The Heat got thirty from Jimmy.
Speaker 1: They shot really well again from three. I don't know
Speaker 1: how they're doing that because they were one of the
Speaker 1: worst in the league at three point percentage in the
Speaker 1: regular season. Now, all of a sudden, gave Vincent Steph Curry. Now,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Caleb Martin is Andrew Wiggins in
Speaker 1: his prime. Now, all of a sudden, these Heat are
Speaker 1: like a full team of the Splash Bros. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, seven players hit two or more threes in
Speaker 1: the game. Let me say that again. Seven Heat players
Speaker 1: hit two or more threes in the game. Boston looked
Speaker 1: really great in the first quarter first half. Marcus Smart
Speaker 1: had ten assists in the first half. Celtics ended up
Speaker 1: with six players with eleven points or more and the
Speaker 1: team shot fifty two percent from the field. The Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics shot fifty two percent from the field, and you
Speaker 1: know what, they are still lost at home. So confusing.
Speaker 1: I think Boston fans are perplexed as well. This is
Speaker 1: not Philadelphia. No, you can't count on Doc Rivers going
Speaker 1: Spider Man mean with you and also doing nothing when
Speaker 1: bad things happen. Eric Spolstra, as is well documented, will
Speaker 1: call a time out two minutes into the game if
Speaker 1: he thinks that shit is gone awry. Hey, he will
Speaker 1: throw something at Jimmy Butler. He will threaten one of
Speaker 1: his players to beat his ass in the middle of
Speaker 1: the game, like Eric Spolstra. Say a lot of things
Speaker 1: about Eric Sposter all you want, but him not doing
Speaker 1: what he's supposed to do on the floor with the
Speaker 1: x's and o's and the adjustments, that is not one
Speaker 1: of them. When Boston went on a baby run to
Speaker 1: start the fourth quarter, what you think he happened? What happened?
Speaker 1: Would you think he did? If you had to guess?
Speaker 1: If I gave you options, what do you think he did?
Speaker 1: If I put it on a multiple choice sheet and
Speaker 1: I said a nothing. B yelled at his players from
Speaker 1: across the room, see call the time out? What would
Speaker 1: you say he did? Ninety four seconds in to the quarter,
Speaker 1: Eric Spolster calls a timeout. Boom run stops. Is Joe
Speaker 1: Mizula taking notes, young padawan, this is how you coach
Speaker 1: a fucking playoff game. What a fascinating series. Boston's going home, right,
Speaker 1: They're gonna go home. I don't get to go to
Speaker 1: the finals. I get to just watch the ship from Washington,
Speaker 1: DC with four TVs and my co host, like, that's
Speaker 1: where we're at. That's what's gonna happen, right, that's yep,
Speaker 1: I think that is
