You talking about this 34 year old kid who’s growing in front our eyes game to game, etching his way into the annals of Celtics history? I’m going to let this dude grow along with these talented yet also profoundly dumb bunch of passionate knuckleheads
Not calling timeouts to stop runs is reflective of Mazzulla poor decisions. Literally everyone including former players and coaches have been criticizing him for not using timeouts. But I guess you know more than them about basketball. Udoka was a much better coach.

Wasted a 20-point 15-rebound effort from Caleb. He ain’t doing that in game 7. Need those numbers from Bam, he’ll probably go ghost tho. Dude is basically Joel Anthony with a smaller nose.
How’s your off-season going you salty fukking bytch?The narrative around Joe Mazzulla would have been way different if Derrick White didn't get that shot off. KKKeltics would have been calling for his head.
MJ>D White>Bron.

Yup that challenge would have destroyed his career although I don’t blame him for taking it lolThe narrative around Joe Mazzulla would have been way different if Derrick White didn't get that shot off. KKKeltics would have been calling for his head.

going by nba replay center feed they had the foul at 3.0
it dont matter tho, if Jimmy/Bam plays better the heat not in this situation
This is a red herring.
He was calling timeouts in the first three games.
It's just y'all focused on the moments where the Heat were capitalizing on runs and putting it down to the fact Mazzulla wasn't calling timeouts as the reason why.
Case in point - Game 1 when the Heat came back in the 3rd quarter; Mazzulla called a timeout when the Heat cut a 9-point lead into a tie game, then Miami came out of that timeout and went on another run (12-6) until there was a next timeout. The timeout made no cotdamn difference - the Heat were just on fire and couldn't be stopped. Miami took a 12-point lead heading into the 4th because they had an outlier of play [46 points in a quarter].
Conversely, Spo has let the Celtics go on runs without calling timeouts over these last three games. Hell, he sat Jimmy for the last nine minutes of the 4th quarter in Game 5, taking away the opportunity for him to not only bridge back the margin, but give him a chance to find some rhythm, form and quality shot generation heading into Game 6. He then came into this game struggling because he couldn't work out what to do once the Celtics stopped falling for his pump-fakes.
