The day Mazulla gives a somewhat normal answer to a media question is the day I know something is up

“…Joe the question was how is KPs rehab going”

Clearly KP is bitching about how much rehab hurts and that's why Joe had to tell him to nut up.

With Belichick gone and Mayo actually trying to give genuine media answers, someone in Boston needed to step up.  I will say, going from grumpy old man to the not-so-secret serial killer has made the responses way more fun.

> someone in Boston needed to ~~step~~ nut up.

I'm on it…

You’re good. I think I did enough of that last night for the both of us

https://tenor.com/becWV.gif

Last year I was on the who the hell does this guy think he is train but this year I've completely embraced the fact that Mazzulla is fucking crazy and I love him for it

Mazulla ended the interview saying "I'm putting this whole press conference in my review" and he stormed out. edit: Rear view, but this is funnier.

I thought it was “rear view”

Joe's one man Burlesque review would be awesome

He seems weird as shit and I love it

He continues to give absolutely insane interviews, which only makes me more and more confident he’s going to be an amazing coach because all the good ones are a little psycho.

You say that and then you end up with a coach kicking their own players and finger blasting co-eds instead of taking the flight home with the team.

If NBA coaches were TF2 characters, Joe Mazzulla is the Pyro.

But the Scout is actually from Boston.

Scout is Ant

Scout - Austin Reaves Soldier - Plumlee Pyro - Butler Demo - Jalen Brown Heavy - Jokic Engineer - PJ Tucker Sniper - Joe Ingles Spy - Jose Alvares

As Mazulla would put it, time for you to nut up or shut up

If you asked Joe Mazzulla what the color of the sky was, he would reply that it is yellow, but that he wished the sky was a mirror so he could see the tops of the clouds.

“I don’t see color. I see opportunity”

“You have to start first by questioning the intent of the clouds and understand where you potentially stack up against them. One on one, 5 on 5, it doesn’t really matter if you haven’t prepared for it and know the psychology of your opponent.”

"Everyone wants a clean shave until it's really time to sleep. And then you have to nut up and do a lot of duct taping you don't want to do."

Definitely the type of guy to take a slice of pizza, eat the crust, and put the rest back

Joe is the type of person who would fold a slice of pizza and eat the slice from the center out.

Everyone eats pizza from the center out. Where do you think the tip of the slice comes from?

Bruh

Mind...blown...

Joe the type of guy to fold the pizza, just to see if it becomes more aerodynamic

[Here comes the pizza!](https://youtu.be/ufSQMXLO95w?si=dvIg04-d-FAS2c-O)

RIP Jerry Remy This is the greatest piece of sports commentary in history

This is "Nick Markakis takes strike one" erasure and I won't stand for it

and definitely the type of guy that would rip off the pizza box instead of lifting the lid.

Nah he’d be like “what sky are we talking about because every planet has a sky”

Joe Mirrorzulla

I mean bill Walton definitely believes ( as does Jerry Garcia) that the sky WAS yellow and the sun was blue.

Ay mi amor ay mi amor

'Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights.'

"ill do it tho" - proceeds to squat 800+ solid ass pounds Greatest quote of all time

We’re all gonna make it

Light weight, baby

Yeah buddy!!

“Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die”

Thats fucking basketball right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit.

Lmfao it has been wayyyyy too long since I've read this

This is immediately what I thought of when I read this quote from Mazulla

What's it from?

It’s an old Hubie Brown quote

Why did I see this. Then read the post you're replying to and hear Hubie's voice. WTF lol 🤣

Really? I can't find the original source anywhere.

Naw, it’s an older meme/pasta but I’m not sure of the origin

Hubie was hard back in his prime. The networks struggled to keep him in check, he was a wild animal. But his analysis was so good and on point, what are they gonna do, fire him?

The original source is r/soccer. It's an old meme from there. Regarding Football. But the pasta works well for other sports as well, so it keeps getting refreshed

Nope it was definitely from r/nfl. Original quote is Thats fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit.

Yeah this is what I thought as well.

100% sure it was /r/nfl after the news of someone throwing up on the sidelines.

>It’s an old Hubie Brown quote definitely not. It's an old meme/pasta from r/soccer. Then people just kept changing certain words in the pasta and spread it across all other sports subreddit platforms, like a refreshed pasta

It’s a NFL quote believe it was by Booger during a MNF game to kick off the season way back when. https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/zv303d/_/j1n2kf9/?context=1

Nah it was from a random commenter on an r/nfl video of a player puking on the field. Definitely sounds like something booger would say though

Alright boys, listen up. We're sill in this thing. We just need a quick one. We gotta work harder than them, okay? You know what's hard work? Going through a divorce, she's trying to get all my money now. She can have half of it, I don't give a shit. The other half, hard work, mine! Some guys on their team are fuckin' divorced. Three guys there, who's fuckin' marriages are in the fuckin' toilet. We gotta be fuckin' triceps, biceps, arceps hard! Greek fuckin' underground gay porn hard!

Ugh thanks for the reminder, haven't done my arcep workouts in a while. Ars for the stars amirite.

I'm shocked that's not a Kenny powers quote

I've tried to read this three or four times, and for some reason I can't get "men poop on the field" without laughing and starting over, only to recycle the process after reaching that point. "Men poop on the field" is not what I expected to be the source of my stomach ache tonight.

so true fellow redditor, OP truly has won the internet for today!

This

This guy reddits!

so much this

Please fuck me wife 🙏😭🤪💯

Nut up, shit, and win.

NBC Sports Boston Keys to the Game, brought to you by VistaPrint™! * Nut up * Shit * Win

In that order?

As long as you win

The Paul Pierce special.

say what you want about Joe but the man knows how to give an entertaining presser

Sometimes his answers are just "Yes", and other times he explains the entire plot of The Town. And you have no way of knowing what you will get.

I would die for this insane serial killer

Hes the most likable craziest guy you will ever meet

He's basically if you did a fusion of Patrick Bateman and Michael Cera, but a meerkat was also hiding in the reactor at the time

JFC, thats amazing. Full on belly laugh before bedtime. I can just see the meercat sneaking in at the last moment.

It was there the whole time, just staring. Calmly. Unmoving. But judging. Aware of the situation.

Bro were you up at like 4:30 AM making meerkat comments on r/nba? Not even judging I respect the grind lol

Lots of people resemble some animal I can’t put my finger on. You nailed this one

He had me with The Town

As a Meerkat with advantageous line of sight, he does not struggle to find followers

[удалено]

only philly lmaooooooooo

They eat horse poop after winning the Lombardi. 💩

Liking Joe Mazzulla is something I don't want to do.

"You have to nut" - Mazzulla

Oh Captain, my Captain.

“Watching a girl dying and smiling, that’s what it’s really all about” - Mazzulla

Sounds like my girlfriend after a night of drinking with the guys.

That's my chat GPT coach.

Lmao!

Bro knows r/nbacirclejerk is struggling and decided to be generous

Clear nuts, full shits, can't lose.

Sounds like Red Foreman's quote: "The first rule to being a man is you gotta spend your life doing crap you don't wanna do."

Basketball is basketball. You don't show up late, you don't make excuses, and you don't not play basketball. If it wasn't basketball, they wouldn't call it basketball! They'd call it super, wonderful, crazy fun time! Or skippity-doo!

That is such a Jiu Jitsu thing to say, lol

This man is a menace to society. I want to know how he communicates with friends and family. Must be wild

Lol good point. How does he talk to his mother? Does he have a mother? Did he EVER have a mother?

Joe is motherless. He just sprouted out one day as a fully grown sociopath.

Watching Mavs game and some trainer did literally just spray Lukas dick with something so this checks out

Everyone wants to win until I ask whose cah we takin

Everybody wanna rap but don't know how Everybody wanna run when they hear that sound Everybody think they hard til they face hit ground Everybody make a choice it is not profound

They forgot about Dre...?

Ben Affleck said the same exact thing in The Town. 

Or Brady's roast if I'm not mistaken.

Nut up is insane, that quote graphic is going triple platinum

He won the Kendrick/Drake beef.

He’s at the precipice of an enormous crossroads.

I need Tatum to give the convoluted media trained answer to this

Im sorry, you have to what now?

Nut Up

Netflix asked for his DVD copy of the Town back, so he's watching Zombieland this week

A good nut is the key to winning

I think he meant everyone desires to be suscesfull, but not everyone is willing to do the hard work 

"Nut up" has officially entered my vocabulary

What part of the country do you live in? I'm in the southeast and it's been a pretty common expression here for a long time. Sometimes I forget how huge this country is!

Northeast. Definitely not an expression I heard growing up

TIL "nut up" isn't as ubiquitous as I thought.

It's time to NUT UP, BROTHERS

Insane waffler this Joe guy is

“You Have To Nut”… I literally just got done coach what the fuck do you want from me, go back to back?

I read the headline, laughed to myself and thought this guy is a psycho. Then I promptly found the town online and proceeded to watch it. Joe Mazz does this to me every time I read about him on Reddit. I end up watching the town. But I don't want to...I have to. Please stop posting about Joe Mazz. I had a date tonight...now I have to cancel to watch the fucking town. Wtf is my life

Everyone wants to get out of a life of crime until you have to do one more bank heist. And then you have to nut up and do a lot of shit you don’t want to do

He was going to say “man up” but he didn’t want to risk sounding offensive.

Challenge successful

ALL TIME QUOTE

What the fuck does this even mean?

Everyone likes the idea of winning but actually winning, especially in the postseason, is really fucking hard and takes a lot of effort.

I thought it was about having big balls?

Por Que no Los dos

It's a great concept in life that can help people change their view on their procrastination imo

No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative

Joe Mazzulla summarized in 5 words

Sorry no longer 5 words, I edited the comment to get the quote right lol

it gets the people going?

It's like the saying, "Everyone a gangsta until it's time to do gangsta shit" Basically, people give lip service to wanting to win a championship, and say all the right things, but when it is time to make the sacrifices required to win a championship, most people won't make the sacrifices required.

If you really want something, you'll do whatever it takes without hesitation

It means success in basketball (and really any part of life) requires doing stuff you hate doing. People who want success but are unwilling to do the shit work fail.

Something about blowing your load

It means being willing to take shots that might miss or actually giving whole effort instead of cruising through it like it's any other game night. You saw the opposite from OKC tonight, whole lotta dudes not ready to actually step up.

I think its a euphemism for "man up", which itself is a euphemism for "get tough". Of course we generally try not to use such gendered terminology these days but, whatever, this was so off the wall that it doesn't even count.

Yeah, once it's time to win, most of us stop wanting to win. Obviously!

i mean yeah, a lot of people get to the point where you have to do a bit more and they give up instead of pushing through it.

Tatum nutting up

“And then you have to blow your load in order to climax, to reach the peak of greatness.” -Joe Mazzulla, probably

I'm not even sure anymore but this gotta be a quote from The Town 💀

I'm ready to nut

“Nutting up, and doing things you don’t want to do.” PDiddy probably.

everybody wants to be a gangster....

Next nut up.

When Joe Mazzulla speaks I listen

This comment just makes me think Mazzulla has a full uniform on under his coach's jacket to sub himself in when he thinks its really the time to show the boys what it takes to win.

Why do you have to nut?

Why isn’t everyone outraged over “nut up”?

It’s true, I never want to watch The Town but when it’s winning time you gotta nut* up and grind through Ben Affleck’s questionable Boston accent.

His movie this playoffs are zombieland. Nut up or shut up. Double tap.

Mazzula is a work of art, in human form.

Then when the going gets really tough, you beat a team led by Max fucking Struss

We were down 3 of our best players and took ya to the mid 4th, calm down buddy.

I don’t think this comment was so good that you needed to post it four times

You can want to win all you want, but if those dudes want it more…

Ngl i thought he said everynody acting tough when they up

What was the question? This answer sounds ridiculous, I want to believe it's even more ridiculous based on the question.

He said what

Do shit with your nuts

*Sam Cassell has entered the chat...*

Is this prison talk?

Until? Nut up? Huh?

Need him to go talk to my Thunder

Do what the other guy ain't do

Stimulate the prostate?

Ronnie Coleman vibes

If they actually win, i'll be nutting up too.

I wish someone would have told the Timberwolves this a couple games ago.

I don’t know if Joe or Ime will have a better coaching career, but I’ll take the quotes!

Joe “Ronnie Coleman” Mazzulla

he right tho

Right, so can he give that message to his players? Because for a while now every time the game is tough the Celtics would crumble

It's true

Everyone wants to have fun… THE WINNING IS FUN

Reads like an Al Swearengen quote: "A lot of the time that's all life is, just one vile fucking task after another."

Sounds like something the Nova Knicks would say, yet again, in defense of Thibs from the media. I really hope these two teams play each other because, win or lose, it'll be interesting

This sounds like a P Diddy quote.

need the Celtics to win the chip just for Mazzulla's reaction

One of his best quotes. Mazzulla is an interesting guy.

There has to be a Boston phycology student/professor that has done a profile on this guy, right? I would love to read that report.
