I swear head coach Joe Mazzulla reads and listens to everything. Watch the postgame pressers and you’ll notice that Mazzulla not only has an almost photographic memory of the game, but also the narrative that the press has shaped around his team. Just ask the Globe’s Gary Washburn about Boston’s reliance on three-point shooting.
Last week, he spent much of his media availability talking about the perils of expectations and the weight of winning. As the league’s front runner heading into the All-Star break, the Celtics are atop most power rankings and are +260 with our friends over at DraftKings to raise Banner 18.
