Following their 100th victory as head coach, the Boston Celtics’ marquee offseason signing sends a strong message to Joe Mazzulla.
Though he played in just 40 games during Joe Mazzulla’s tenure, Kristaps Porzingis is aware that the Boston Celtics head coach is underappreciated, especially after the team won its 100th game under Mazzulla’s leadership on February 14 at TD Garden against the Brooklyn Nets 136-86.
Porzingis stated, “I think he’s very underrated, just seeing how people view him maybe from the outside a little bit” (h/t MassLive). Because he is still a young man, people don’t value who he is as a coach or anything like that. You can always put the blame on him. He’s a really underappreciated coach, though. Extremely unique and underappreciated. Indeed, I believe that people are blind to his true nature and the way he mentors andWith our skill, isn’t it easy to take credit for him instead of him? But he merits a great deal of praise. Both he and the rest of the coaching staff are deserving of a great deal of recognition.
Mazzulla’s refusal to accept praise and attention may be the reason he is viewed as underappreciated.
Joe Mazzulla attributes his Boston Celtics team’s 100 victories to them.
Despite losing his longest-tenured player and locker room leader Marcus Smart in his first summer and being elevated to interim head coach just before the team’s 2022–23 training camp began, Mazzulla has managed to record 100 victories.
But in true Mazzulla style, he gave credit to his team for getting him to this point, despite the fact that he was previously an interim who got the position only by winning.
“Well, I told the guys, I think it’s a testament to the people you have around you, and I think it’s something to be proud of,” Mazzulla remarked. “I think it’s crucial to have a network of individuals you can share your achievement with in a business where individual accomplishment is widely talked about on a nightly basis, the box scores and stuff like that. The players are truly where it all begins, and I constantly tell them that I value their refusal to allow me to be who I am.
“Well, I told the guys, I think it’s a testament to the people you have around you, and I think it’s something to be proud of,” Mazzulla said. “In an industry where people talk about individual success on a regular basis—the box scores and things like that—I believe it’s vital to have a network of people you can share your accomplishment with. The players are really where it all starts, and I tell them that all the time, and I appreciate that they won’t let me be myself.
