Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fire his ass. I'm sorry, but I'm calling it the
way I see it. And normally I don't really comment
on sports. I leave that to people who are much
better informed than I am. But I watched the Celtics
Game seven against the Philadelphia seventy six ers, and all

(00:20):
I can say is their performance was pathetic. It was lethargic,
it was uninspired. It was not worthy of a Celtics team,
never mind a very talented Celtics team. And I'm just
speaking objectively. Now, never before in the history of the

(00:41):
Boston Celtics have they blown a three to one lead
in a series. Never until now. And this was a
team contrary to what the Green teamers are saying, Celtics
fans are saying about how this was a team that
was really only thirty eight wins or forty wins or

(01:04):
an average team, no bull crap, as they say. This
was one of the top contenders in the East and
someone who people thought could go all the way to
the finals, and they should have won. And the worst
thing is not only did they lose, but they lost

(01:25):
three of their four games at home at the TD Garden.
That's on Joe Mazoula. He didn't have his team ready.
He clearly doesn't have the respect of his players, and
he clearly couldn't energize and inspire them to play the
wait they should be able to play. And as I

(01:45):
said on X and I'm going to repeat it, let's
be honest for once in the Boston sports media, if
Missoula was white, he'd be fired, no questions, because he's
a bad coach. He's had a talented team for the

(02:07):
last what is it, five years, and just look at
their record. Yes, they won one championship, that is true,
but twice they lost to the Miami Heat and they
were favored. They now were favored with the Philadelphia seventy
six ers and they lost. They have underperformed consistently ever

(02:31):
since Missoula took over the Reins as head coach, and
in the end, he's not much of a head coach
as he is almost like a buddy to the players. Well,
the players don't need a buddy to joke around with
and you go out and have tacos. They need a

(02:51):
coach who knows how to manage his players, inspire his players,
motivate his players, and get them to perform in the
big games. That's not Joe Missoula. He is, at best
a glorified college basketball coach. That's it. NCAA is his ceiling.

(03:14):
He has no business coaching in the NBA, never mind
in a top tier, legendary franchise like the Boston Celtics,
a heritage brand like the Celtics. And so, if they
can get beyond DEI, if they can get beyond quote
unquote diversity, if they can get beyond political correctness. If

(03:40):
it wasn't such a liberal management and a liberal town
and a liberal culture, and Missoula was not black, he
would have been gone the day after they lost to
the Sixers. Instead, they're probably going to keep him on
for another year until they underperform again and lose to

(04:05):
a team they should beat in the playoffs. And maybe then, maybe,
if they keep on losing, the Green Teamers will finally
say it's the coach, stupid, fire his ass. The sooner

(04:26):
the better
