00:00Joe Mizzoula gets a lot of crap, obviously, when the team isn't playing up to their standard.

00:05How much credit does he deserve for the run that they're on right now?

00:07Yeah, he does deserve a ton of credit.

00:09And I think a lot of things with Joe, too, is the way he controls the room really goes

00:15underappreciated and unnoticed.

00:17He's the one that really keeps these guys locked in.

00:20And even what he did last year with balancing, and everyone's like, oh, he's just managing

00:25all this talent.

00:26Not the best talent, but getting them all to gel together and get on one page is difficult

00:31to do.

00:32And part of that is the players buying into the message and doing it themselves.

00:35It's not all on Joe.

00:36But Joe deserves a lot of credit for keeping them grounded and keeping them on the same

00:40page and really focused on the main goal.

00:42And now you're looking at it like, I mean, the guy has so much success ever since he's

00:47been here.

00:48And I know he had his moments in his first year.

00:50But last year, he was incredible, one of the best coaches in basketball.

00:53This year, again, he's been one of the best coaches in basketball.

00:55I think that the narrative around Joe has really shifted and people are giving him a

00:59lot of credit.

01:00But of course, all eyes go to the coach when a team is that talented and a team struggling

01:04like that.

01:05But then again, you're not going to really hear about it when they're winning.

01:07So I think he deserves a lot of credit.

01:08And I really do think he's still very underappreciated for what he does for this team.
