00:00I don't know whose individual agenda is out in front of the team, but it sounds like something

00:04that they're struggling with.

00:05And is Joe Mazzullo the right guy to fix it?

00:07That's where coaching does come into play in the NBA.

00:10It can be overrated, and I don't even know if it's overrated as much as it's just not

00:14as important as a head coach in the NFL.

00:17And so a lot of it is going to come down to sort of managing these massive personalities.

00:22Like you could talk about the players in the NBA, tough to kind of, you know, get all working

00:28in the right direction.

00:30And so Mazzullo initially took over in a weird spot.

00:34There were some tough moments there, or Marcus Smart calling him out, there was like a weird

00:38like kind of struggle for power.

00:41They then supported him with like all these assistant coaches to try to beef him up.

00:44Then you win the title and you're like, all right, he's good.

00:46All set.

00:47But it's like, man, that all happened really quick.

00:50And now that you are facing some adversity, is he the right guy to talk to these super

00:54duper stars and get them back going in the right direction?

00:57Okay.

00:58When they're winning.

00:59We love Joe.

01:00Now they're losing again.

01:01We're kind of teetering.

01:02Yeah.
