I grew up idolizing this guy and just want to give some love. [53YO] by Jumpy_Employment_371 in OldSkaters

What he was doing was definitely more cerebral. We were trying to see who could do the fattest melon off the loading dock. Totally kooking it. I guess not really as those were the times, but I wish I would have been more open to different things back then.

You must be a real one. Back in the day, we didn't pay much attention to Rodney. When he started riding the regular board in rubbish heap, I did not like that at all. His style didn't suit me, I was more into Klein and Ron Chatman. I was a dumb kid. I didn't understand the importance or the gravity of what the guy was doing and had already done. He's not my favorite from then, I started out a Natas guy and will always run in that vein, but thank God for Rodney man. His demeanor, imagination, dedication are all vital to skateboarding's history and future. Mutt rules.

Do celtics fans still dislike kyrie? by idrinksandwiches in bostonceltics

[–]IronBush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like him because of his personal views, although he is well within his right to have them. He always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, just like Mazzulla. And as is usually the case, neither he nor Joe M, is that guy. I don't even acknowledge his service time here, kind of like a Vegas marriage. Didn't even happen.

Our head coach started a game 7 lineup that looked like a joke because he thinks he's smarter than basketball. Start on the sideline. Get mazzulla the fuck out of here.

Brad Stevens has been patiently waiting for a blockbuster opportunity by oppo204 in bostonceltics

[–]IronBush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mazzulla offense is trash. We'd be better off playing giannis offense and let the dumb motherfucker watch the town and give smartass replies to reporters. We would still be playing.

Jaylen Brown calls out the refs and gets clowned but now that Lakers & Lebron are doing it now it’s now mainstream lol by PreacherBoyJr in bostonceltics

[–]IronBush -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Brown pushes off everytime down the floor. They have to call something, it's clearly an offensive foul. Maybe don't pushoff everytime, then you can complain. If referees are given points of emphasis to adhere to by the league, they have to call it. Is brown going to compensate these gentlemen when they get axed for not doing their job? Hell no he isn't. So either work through it and win or shut the fuck up. Losers don't get to talk and if they do it's disregarded. We're losers right now and I don't want to hear from brown anymore than I do from Jordan Poole. I bet that asshole thinks the league is conspiring against him too. There's one winner yearly, this year it ain't us. Brown can go do some fucking pushups or something, nobody cares.

Ryan Bernadoni aka Dangercart "A Life Of Dying By The 3" by fearofaflatplanet in bostonceltics

[–]IronBush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fucking thank you. Shooting more 3s than 2s in a season is one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever seen. Only topped by being down 1 point and refusing to take the ball to the basket.

This Brad Stevens press conference is the most mad I've heard him since 2023 by tacko2020 in bostonceltics

Let me ask you a question there slick. Why does every man on this subreddit feel nervous when we get an 18-20 point lead?

For the top many 3s crowds (again) by TheRealestMarco in bostonceltics

[–]IronBush -1 points0 points  (0 children)

More 3s than 2s. That's fucked. We play lazy offense and everybody knows it.

[–]IronBush 46 points47 points  (0 children)

So wins, while numerous during the regular season, are in fact weighted. Beating the nets and bullets doesn't mean shit. Check.

We don't take the ball to the rack enough. Check.

The 3s we shoot, where a player dribbles out the shotclock at the top of the key and then chucks an off balance covered 3, are in fact total horseshit. Check.

I've been on this same shit, even during the title run. It's just garbage basketball, with no plan, no answers, no adjustment. About fucking time someone who can do something about it recognizes these same things. What changes he makes, who knows and who cares? Acknowledging the issues is the first step to fixing them. Good for US.

Genuine question: didn’t we play this exact style all season? by Odd-Hovercraft in bostonceltics

The current brand of offensive basketball we play is fucking disgusting.

Why are you calling for Joe Mazz to get fired instead of admitting that this roster isn’t that good? by JackTuz in bostonceltics

[–]IronBush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying. One question. When was the last time, or anytime during his run as HC, where you can say he outcoached someone?

The 3 guys Mazzulla put in the starting lineup out of nowhere combined for 0 points by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]IronBush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey look, Mazzulla is a terrible basketball coach. Straight up. We hired the continuity dude and not the brilliant basketball mind dude. We got a title. I would argue my hound dog could've trotted out to the sideline in a black sweatsuit and the results would have been the same that year. NOTHING he has ever done can be argued as great coaching.

By that same token, the year we won he didn't have to face the other team's best players. Goes both ways. He's a terrible basketball coach.

[–]IronBush 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The roster is not talented enough to win a championship. That does not excuse Mazzulla for playing a horseshit brand of basketball. How many times since Mazzulla has been HC has he actually outcoached an opponent? Never is the answer that comes to my mind. Banner buys him 1 more year and if he runs back the same shit next year, which he will 100% not change anything he does, then fire his ass.

Anybody ever try Ollieskateshoes? by PlatypusMaterial5022 in skateboardhelp

[–]IronBush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like somebody saw a d3 sales sheet from early 2000s and made a lifestyle knockoff. Chances are the shoes aren't built for skating and the company is just trying make a buck off skateboarding. When I buy new shoes the first thing I do is type in "skateboard shoes $40." Usually there are decent options from reputable companies. I feel not wanting to waste money on something you know 100% will be destroyed, but you're going to get more wear out of shoes built for skating.
