Joe Mazzulla would like fighting to be allowed in the NBA

Joe Mazzulla regularly stands out from other NBA personalities by his opinions and positions, but this one is still far above the rest. The Boston Celtics coach would like players to have the right to fight in the NBA. And no, there is no joke.

Joe Mazzulla’s favorite game in NBA history is surely Malice at the Palace. A golden era that makes the coach of the Boston Celtics nostalgic. The 36-year-old tactician seems to like fighting and had already admitted to motivating his players by showing them MMA.

Sending chestnuts and chestnuts is in season in the middle of October, and no one enjoys picking them more than my friend Joe. Guest in the ZoAndBeetleShowhe gave his opinion, decided, on the question of fights in the NBA:

“The biggest thing we’re taking away from people, entertainment-wise, is that we can’t fight anymore. I wish we could bring back the fights. What’s more entertaining than a little fight? How is it that in baseball, we have the right to empty the benches (a form of fighting when players from baseball or hockey teams leave the bench to go and throw punches on the field)? Every time someone gets hit [en NBA]we do not need to watch the video to see if a crime has been committed. I just don’t understand why some sports are allowed to clear the benches. They have bats and guns, we don’t. We just have a ball. The other sport is played on ice with pucks and sticks, and we’re not allowed to hit each other?”

Joe Mazzu has @ZoAndBeetleShow on desired NBA rule changes initially pitches idea of NBA power play (5 vs. 4 after fouls) then really goes full Joe:

“The biggest thing that we rob people of, from an entertainment standpoint, is you can’t fight any more. I wish you could bring…

If Joe Mazzulla were NBA Commissioner, oats would be authorized, donuts recommended, pine nuts recommended, no one would be stingy with concrete blocks, you would have to check your blind spots or risk eating a prune. Draymond Green would go to work with a smile while Jordan Poole would have packed his bags for China. The up and under would become the uppercut, the cross would turn into a hook and Francis Ngannou would be the pivot of the Chicago Bulls.

And that’s not the only idea the Boston Celtics coach wants to steal from other American sports. Like in hockey, he would like to implement the Power Play rule. In other words, after a certain number of fouls, a player would be temporarily excluded from the match and a team would play five against four. When we tell you that he is inventive.

Joe Mazzulla is an excellent coach, his rotations are good, his tactics too, but nothing matches his statements!
