Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Boston Celtics play?
Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Boston Celtics play? Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Boston Celtics play after their early exit from the 2025 NBA Playoffs? The Celtics were sent fishing by the New York Knicks in their Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series with their Atlantic Division rival, and Boston's over-reliance on shots from beyond the arc were arguably a significant factor in what went wrong for the Celtics. To be sure, injuries to Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and other key players compounded the matter. But at least some of the blame should fall on a version of Mazzulla ball that was not as complete as it was when the Celtics won the title in 2024. The folks behind the "98.5 The Sports Hub" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Felger and Mazz" show that takes a closer look at such a possibility. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say!

How does this impact Boston's postseason hopes? More importantly, what does it do to the team's contention window in the short and medium term as the Duke alum takes the next year or so to heal from a career-altering injury? The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip that takes a deep dive into all of these concerns. Check it out below to hear for yourself what Mike Felger and Tony Massarotti on "Felger and Mazz" had to say about this brutal news.
