In a related note, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla recently showcased his competitive spirit during a media game against reporters, a training activity intended to foster team camaraderie. While reporters were expecting a friendly match, Mazzulla shocked them by announcing, “You’re not playing against each other, you’re playing against the coaches.” The game ended in a staggering 57-4 victory for the coaching staff, with Mazzulla celebrating deep three-pointers even as the game concluded.
Celtics media members, aware of the mismatch in skill levels, embraced the light-hearted nature of the experience, with one reporter humorously noting, “The sheer gap in athleticism… felt so insurmountable.” Mazzulla’s innovative ways of fostering competitiveness appear to reflect his commitment to winning, a sentiment that can energize both the players and fans ahead of the upcoming preseason game against the Raptors.
As the Celtics gear up for their clash with the Raptors, fans can look forward to how Mazzulla’s coaching style translates both on and off the court in their quest to establish dominance during the preseason.
