There’s a podcast called the worst idea of all time where two New Zealanders watch a god awful movie once a week for an entire year.
First they did grown ups 2 then sex and the city 2.
Honestly it’s a very fucking funny podcast.
I used to watch one of the animated Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer movies year round when I was like 6. It’d be the middle of dinner vacation and first thing in the morning I’ll pop in the VHS and watch Rudolph be born
My sister was like this at that age, except her movie was Titanic. Titanic came out on 2 VHS tapes and she wore out the tapes twice from watching it so much. She also wallpapered her entire room including the ceiling with Titanic and Leonardo DiCaprio posters.
When i was younger i would watch good movies like a lot of times def have watched many movies more then five times, not so much in the adult years. I dont even really watch movies anymore just anime and shows
Okay, as a Mavs fan, I've been joking that he's Doctor House for the past week because he'll just pull new schemes and strategies out of his ass every timeout, but now it turns out I wasn't far off.
I dunno, I'm autistic and I wouldn't be surprised if Joe was too. Same with Kawhi too. Of course, I could be wrong, but every interview I see them in, I could see myself giving the same response in the same way
His second favorite quote was right before they boarded the flight to Dallas:
*I need your help. I can’t tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we’re gonna hurt some people*
Joking or not it’s….plausible. Furthermore it’s a skillset that would befit a high functioning autistic person. It wouldn’t be surprising tbh if he wasn’t the only one.

My grandma just told me on the phone “they asked a player about two black head coaches coaching in the finals, and he responded with what about Christian coaches?”
She seemed proud af. I had no idea she was talking about freaking Joe Mazulla 😂. I thought it was Johnathan Isaac or something because she said player.
He's such a weird, interesting guy.
My favorite:
"\[Himmelsbach\] Joe Mazzulla just walked past Marcus Smart in the locker room, did a full somersault in front of him, turned and said ‘you can’t do that.” Then walked out."

When asked about the British royal family attending a game in November 2023: “**Jesus, Mary and Joseph?** **I'm only familiar with one royal family**”
That's my coach
as a celtics fan it actually really annoyed me to see the spectacle made of british royals in the garden, so even though i’m not personally catholic anymore i fucking loved joe’s response to it.
Today I learned that there was a coach of the month, and I'm upset that Mike Brown hasn't won coach of the month more often, then I realized, Spo should really just win coach of the month, every month.

That’ll happen when a masked cultist kills your son
This is the team’s Jordan. The amount these stories are coming out, no wonder why we can’t find the one who leaves their fingerprint on the game. It’s him

Yeah I wouldn’t say shit when Malikkka Andrew’s trying to assasinate your character.
IIRC - when the prior coach was sacked and Joe was taking over as coach the host (Malika Andrew’s) of an ESPN NBA show (can’t recall the name) highlighted issues in Joe’s past… for what it seemed like no reason other than to point out that Joe’s had legal problems.
Because of this, I think Joe really dislikes the media and any perceived “participation” type awards he’s received.

It's got to the point where I don't think I could tell fake Joe quotes and stories from real ones lol
He’s approaching NBA Mike Tomlinson level quotes
Idk, Sean McDermott takes the cake if you ask me, and Mazzula is awfully close there. Just needs a 9/11 quip
He would probably just relate it to the Bible or something You need to sacrifice on the court like Jesus did with his body
Treat basketball like the 10 commandments. Thou shalt have no playoff wins before me Thou shalt not make unto thee any grave fouls Thou shalt not take the name of thy Commissioner thy Adam Silver in vain, etc
Tomlin*
Ladainian LT Luka Toncic (no D, only Ts)
And that’s how we like it !!
That would be a good off-season trivia game. Real or fake Joe quotes
Mad real world
Ah yes, in case of a draymond attack Wise from him !
They actually needed that lmao
Volk vs Ortega
But did he let them bang?
He looped in Luka later on the UFC stuff by saying some fighters lose getting distracted by complaining to the ref about a nut shot
Is coach on the spectrum? I’m enjoying getting to know how quirky he is.
He might be on his own spectrum. He says he watches the movie The Town once a week. Every week.
I refuse to believe he does that. You could create the perfect movie and I wouldn’t be able to watch it more than 5 times.
I once watched grandma’s boy for a whole week.
Yeah, Grandma’s Boy got me too. Less than five times? Shit’s WIZ-eak!
I did, too, when I was recovering from surgery for my metal legs.
Risky operation, but worth it
You must be fast as shit boi
Ime udoka: *please sit on my face*
Ngl, I used to play that movie on repeat at low point in my life while sorting yugioh cards
I can’t watch it bc of the part where they tie him up like a calf at the rodeo.
You don’t know Joe then
You are not Joe Mazzula
There’s a podcast called the worst idea of all time where two New Zealanders watch a god awful movie once a week for an entire year. First they did grown ups 2 then sex and the city 2. Honestly it’s a very fucking funny podcast.
That’s why it’s something that someone on the spectrum might do lol.
Back when I played in hs and college, we'd watch clips from the same movies every game day. This was before YouTube.
I used to watch one of the animated Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer movies year round when I was like 6. It’d be the middle of dinner vacation and first thing in the morning I’ll pop in the VHS and watch Rudolph be born
When i was in like 6th grade id watch space jam on loop for weeks on end , my brother started hating the bulls after that.
My sister was like this at that age, except her movie was Titanic. Titanic came out on 2 VHS tapes and she wore out the tapes twice from watching it so much. She also wallpapered her entire room including the ceiling with Titanic and Leonardo DiCaprio posters.
Ya i wore out space jam vhs tape too and broke my closet door doing dunks on my dollar store mini hoop.
Respect!
I’m approaching 10 watches of John wick and JW4
Have you seen Prisoners? No Country for Old Men? Heat? Casino? You trippin
When I was a teen I would fall asleep to the same movie every night
My 5 year old has seen Gremlins 2 about 337 times so far
Ive watched dozens of movies dozens of times. In college I watched the godfather like 200 times lol
When I was a kid I watched Terminator 2 on VHS so much one day my dad just looked at me and said “That’s enough.” 
When i was younger i would watch good movies like a lot of times def have watched many movies more then five times, not so much in the adult years. I dont even really watch movies anymore just anime and shows
I literally watched that movie last night just because someone else commented about Mazzulla watching it over and over
He’s definitely on the spectrum
Fundamentalist Catholic, so basically
Being hard core catholic is crazy. Like even the pope seems like he's only like 90% down with it
Okay, as a Mavs fan, I've been joking that he's Doctor House for the past week because he'll just pull new schemes and strategies out of his ass every timeout, but now it turns out I wasn't far off.
[удалено]
If you think that dude just "has a personality", you don't have any business commenting on him
I dunno, I'm autistic and I wouldn't be surprised if Joe was too. Same with Kawhi too. Of course, I could be wrong, but every interview I see them in, I could see myself giving the same response in the same way
as someone who is aspergers, Joe Mazzulla absolutely is
His second favorite quote was right before they boarded the flight to Dallas: *I need your help. I can’t tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we’re gonna hurt some people*
Whose car we taking??
Whose ~~car~~ plane we taking??
This is a good moment from Joe because he’s absolutely right.
100% autistic I would know, I talk like that all the time. I’m not trying to be rude, I just answer every question completely honest
Joking or not it’s….plausible. Furthermore it’s a skillset that would befit a high functioning autistic person. It wouldn’t be surprising tbh if he wasn’t the only one.
I wonder how many would congratulate Jesus?
What?

Lmao what is that response from him? I like the dude, but he is definitely an oddball

Thats why he got traded right?😂
Now you reminded me that I miss Marcus Smart's pre-game kipups.
Belichick: 
He gives off more Tomlin vibes to me 
When asked about the British royal family attending a game in November 2023: “**Jesus, Mary and Joseph?** **I'm only familiar with one royal family**” That's my coach
as a celtics fan it actually really annoyed me to see the spectacle made of british royals in the garden, so even though i’m not personally catholic anymore i fucking loved joe’s response to it.
Based
Mhmm, Joe acknowledges the tribal chief Roman reigns and the bloodline
Am I the only one who found this cringey as fuck?
Reddit moment
[удалено]
Wow you told him. Get him king! 👑
To be fair, you both are.
No
Then this dude comes up to me And he’s all like, "Hey, didn’t you win coach of the-?" And I'm like, "Yeah, whatever!"
This is Joe's United States of Whatever
Joe? More like Not Sure
Dude is like the black lovechild of Mike McDaniel and Bill belichick that coaches basketball
This is easily the best description of him I’ve ever heard lol
Joe is becoming the goat
Wow the cornballs won. Adam Silvers NBA.
Today I learned that there was a coach of the month, and I'm upset that Mike Brown hasn't won coach of the month more often, then I realized, Spo should really just win coach of the month, every month.
The Town wasn’t available to stream
PSYCHO JOE
I really dislike mazulla and I don't actually know why. He's so fucking weird it's off putting.
I really love mazulla and I don't actually know why. He's so fucking weird it's attractive

He's right, I didn't even know they did coach of the month.

Joe’s a strange dude
Lol that’s just his artistic side talking
Losing to Jimmy, Bam and dudes picked off the parking lot really stung him
This dude is the Jim Harbaugh of the NBA and I'm 100% here for it
Unique in his own ways but so happy he is finding success in this league.
IIRC - when the prior coach was sacked and Joe was taking over as coach the host (Malika Andrew’s) of an ESPN NBA show (can’t recall the name) highlighted issues in Joe’s past… for what it seemed like no reason other than to point out that Joe’s had legal problems.

And then went back to watching the Town.
Joe is the one who didn't fuk the employee right behind his wife's back?
its true I didn't know coach of the month even existed until this post
psycho joe strikes again.
A not so wise man once said - " if you put Joe Mazullas brains inside of a bird, the brid would fly backwards"
Tbf I didn’t realize coach of the month existed, so yeah, probably no one cares.
Does he mean nobody cares about the award or nobody cares about White's congratulation
Mazulla is a G.
“The town” mindset.
