BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics aren't feeling the pressure ahead of the start of their title defense on Tuesday night.
With the Celtics set to raise their 18th banner before kicking off the regular season against the New York Knicks, head coach Joe Mazzulla said there's "zero pressure" on Boston to repeat as champions.
"We're all going to be dead soon, and it really doesn't matter anymore. So there's zero pressure," he told reporters on Monday. "You have an opportunity to carry the organization forward, to double down on the tradition and history of what this organization has. And what else would you expect than someone expecting you to win all the time?"
