COMMENTARY

There’s a weird narrative going around about the Celtics coaches vs. media game that was played at the Auerbach Center on Tuesday.

I’ve seen more than a few people online saying that Mazzulla having local media members play against his coaching staff, which was loaded with former pros and Division I players, was a form of bullying.

I’ve heard more than a few people ask the following questions: What’s the point of full-court pressing a bunch of sportswriters for 12 minutes and beating them 57-4? What exactly was Joe trying to prove?
