Since becoming the head coach of the Boston Celtics, Joe Mazzulla has had no problem telling people how he feels. And despite me being a Miami Heat fan and it going against my entire nature to like anything Beantown, I love it! And here we go again with yet another glorious example.
While making an appearance recently on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston, the NBA champion skipper gave one hell of a hot take that you just won’t hear from any ordinary coach. If it was up to Mazzula, he would implement rules that would allow players to fight each other and penalize them similar to hockey.

Mazzula cited sports entertainment, and quite frankly, I couldn’t be more on board with the idea — it’s glorious!
“I think the biggest thing that we rob people from as an entertainment standpoint is you can’t fight anymore,” stated Mazzulla. “I wish you could bring back fighting.”

Oh man, this makes me like Joe Mazzulla so much more (no Diddy), and I’ll even one up him…
Let the fans get involved! Legalize Malice at the Palace-style behavior! I want WWE-style Royal Rumbles in this bish!
(2004) 15 years ago today, ‘Malice at the Palace’ took place.
9 players were suspended for a total of 146 games.
When Ron Artest got into locker room after, he asked Stephen Jackson: “Do you think we’re gonna get in trouble?”
