Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics’ New Challenge…
The Celtics are diving into the 2025-26 season with a vibe that’s more “meh” than “magnificent”! They’re missing some key players, including a center who isn’t just a tall garden gnome with a basketball jersey. Luckily, they still have head coach Joe Mazzulla, whose elite coaching skills weren’t acquired from an online video game. Despite past hiccups like losing to teams they could beat while sleepwalking, Mazzulla is not on a hot seat, making his coaching job about as pressured as a pancake breakfast on a lazy Sunday.
With no Jayson Tatum to serve as the super glue holding everything together, the Celtics will rely more on Mazzulla than toddlers rely on juice boxes. But thanks to shooters like White, Pritchard, and newcomer Anfernee Simons, they won’t be lacking in the three-point department unless they decide to play with their eyes closed! Concerns remain about their rebounding and interior defense, but hey, it wouldn’t be a real puzzle if all the pieces were there, right? Watching how Mazzulla handles these challenges could be the basketball equivalent of watching a master chef cook with mismatched ingredients!
