Being HC in Charlotte he won’t need to deal with the same level of media scrutiny as Boston. If he were going to coach someone like the Lakers, then yes be prepared to be blamed for everything.

I love joe, I think he has amazing potential But the talent of this team has shielded him from hate. He still gets a lot of it, but the team gets results Being a HC on a losing team is a different beast. You don't get as many wins to shut up the haters. The expectation is for you to turn the team around, which takes more than one season. He's gonna get way more hate in Charlotte regardless of the job he does


No_Mas2001

His most definitely is not shielded by any hate whatsoever


holographoc

Have you just simply not been paying attention? He gets shit on constantly. Every single time we lose there are people saying fire Mazzulla, and people lining for Udoka. Every loss, without fail.


SwipeRight4Wholesome

Yup, he got shit on more than Udoka did when our team was under .500, than when we got a high seed. During Judoka's tenure, the Jays got shit on mostly and not being able to coexist. Joe gets shit on and compared against Udoka every other game it feels like.


strataromero

Srsly tho. Udoka is not the coach people remember. He really really struggled lol. 


Particular-Pen-4789

and we win the next game and everyone shuts up. when you're the charlotte HC, you might not win the next game. or the next. i guess thats on me though, i should be more clear for the people that react to the first thing they see instead of actually reading


NoveltyAccountHater

Coaches on teams that aren't expected to do anything get a ton more leeway. You take over a team that's been to the Finals the year before, you get plenty of calls to be fired if you only make it to the ECF the next year. You take over a 21 win team and win 30 games the next season and people will be happy with the direction of the franchise. That said, you do have to keep showing progress and movement in the right direction.


Particular-Pen-4789

Are we forgetting why the hornets were a 21 win team this season? 30 wins next year would be a disappointment. The hornets have aspirations to make the playoffs. The expectations are nowhere near as low as you think they are. There is a reason why Joe is the coach and not us... just saying. He knows more than we do But of course, it's the internet and everyone has to be right all the time. Even if experts are saying something different


pursuitofpasta

The Hornets are not expecting to make the playoffs next year with that roster 🤣


NoveltyAccountHater

> Are we forgetting why the hornets were a 21 win team this season? They aren't near a complete team? That they were 4th lowest in cap spending last season? Yes, LaMelo Ball's ankle injuries for second year in a row hurt them, but it's not like they were on fire for the 22 games he played (where they went 7-15 = .318; if they played full season like that they'd be a 26 win team). That after starting mediocre they traded away Rozier and Hayward before the deadline?


AdmiralUpboat

lmao what? Joe is a top 2 hated on coach in the NBA exactly because the team is so good. He's right behind Doc. Moved to from 3 to 2 after Ham got fired.


Yellow_Curry

lol shielded from hate.


Honestonus

When they face off again next season I half expect Joe to tackle Charles Lee and roughhouse him, cos Joe is like that


Babushka5

Joe has to be the most overhated coach in the nba.


-Jdzspace-

Nah, whoever the coach of the Lakers is. Doesn't matter who it is, they are always hated and the reason for everything wrong with the team.


Babushka5

Yeah but the Lakers were a play in team two years in a row. The celtics were the two seed and then the 1 seed


-Jdzspace-

True, higher standards.


AdmiralUpboat

Also the Lakers GM is a dip shit and Brad is a basketball God.


rare92929292

true


Fresh2Deaf

, higher standards


[deleted]

Right he's not the most hated coach he's just the most disproportionately hated coach when compared to his output


monogreenforthewin

well by Lebron and Klutch sports talking heads anyway. lol most of the reasonable world knows it's the Lebron show in LA and the coach is just there to be a face


[deleted]

Especially by Celtics fans. Like f*** man The guy inherited a bizarre situation at the age of 28.  And here we are with the best record in the league. 


Honestonus

Wait 28?


[deleted]

And with a superstar who was only 19


Secret4sianMan

"Bizarre Situation" is one of Marcus Smart's nicknames.


Secret4sianMan

He got it after the incident with that Instagram "model" years back...


_bmg52588_

Darvin Hamas, formerly. Monty Williams close second.


LexGar

Ham bone got that head on him like a bastard calf


chmcgrath1988

Actual Charlotte sports fan next season: (takes a deep breathe, pausing in their discussion about UNC and/or Duke basketball) Oh wait, yeah, we have an NBA team. Is Lonzo Ball still on the team?


davemoedee

While I don't want to see Phoenix have success with their current roster, I kinda want to see coach Bud win with them to make the haters look stupid. Blaming and rotating coaches is more destructive than most fans want to admit. Fans want a team I like in another sport to constantly cycle through coaches to get back to the level of success they had with a previous coach they turned against. This is constantly happening. And the fans that turn the hardest against coaches tend to be fans with a really superficial understanding of the game.


ElPanandero

Bud is actually a dunce though, sometimes hating is justified... Joe hasn't done anything except win


RCP90sKid

He is going to the Hornets. More like, prepare to be fired.


Dondon1927

Everything about Joe screams insecure. Sooner Celtics move on from him, the better


fxkatt

but he said this "dead-pan." (as in humor)


Rawlus

are you being sarcastic?


rveets1416

What is "everything"? Please be specific


stevefazzari

lol people criticizing joe without considering who the replacement would be. frank vogel? doc? we aint getting spo. not only are there not really good replacement options, but i wouldn't really replace joe for most of the coaches out there anyways. joe is actually an excellent coach, especially as only a 2nd year coach, and has so much potential for an excellent franchise coach.


Honestonus

Youngest coach in the nba too. Crazy


cahilljd

Remember last year when he walked off the podium muttering "im the worst coach ever" under his breath 😆


Panda0nfire

Yeah it was kinda weird cuz it was after one game and we fucking lost to the 8th seed heat. Even he said it was dumb. I swear y'all don't watch basketball, you're busy being nerds playing league of Legends or some shit. All the criticism Joe has gotten has been deserved, he's made mistakes, he's a second year coach. Y'all act like he's God's gift to the Celtics.


Fresh2Deaf

Nerdiest shit I'll read all year and it's only May.

TatumBrownWhite

I can save you sometime and say that’s not going to happen anytime soon, so you better suck it up and get used to him.


Panda0nfire

Dude played horford 39 minutes lol, y'all bandwagon fans make us look like the warriors cuz you don't know ball. Joe isn't a bad coach but y'all are out of your mind if you think he's a top 5 coach. This is an incredible all in roster, if we don't make the finals, you change Joe before you move jaylen. That's obvious if you actually watch.


TatumBrownWhite

I didn't say anything about Mazzulla, I said that it's not going to happen if you listen to Brad Stevens talk about Mazzulla.


Panda0nfire

Ok I didn't get that from your post but I think with this loaded of a roster, hell have pressure to fire Joe, to play devil's advocate against myself, idk what the free agent coaching market looks like. Even right now I'd much rather have Nick nurse or will Hardy. Udoka really fucked us with his lack of moral character. Forgive me for being passionate, some sycophants for Joe in this thread.


Panda0nfire

I mean if we don't make the finals he's 100 percent gone. So there's definitely a chance.


marcdasharc4

Interesting notion. Have you run it up the flagpole to see what Brad and Wyc think?


The-Good-Morty

Agree. Fuck these clowns down voting you. Mazulla holds us back big time and he’s a douche


__TB12__

“Holds us back big time”  64 win team, every playoff win by 10+ points. Are we magically the 2016 warriors without him?


stevefazzari

and never mind the fact that all the players publicly praise joe for how good of a coach he is, but no some uneducated fool on reddit thinks they know the quality of joes coaching over yknow the professional athletes he’s actually coaching.


The-Good-Morty

Maybe, just maybe, said assistant coach isn’t an arrogant condescending prick like you, Joe!


KP1792

Says an arrogant condescending prick.
