If there are any lingering doubts within the Boston Celtics about first-year head coach Joe Mazzulla‘s ability to coach his team to a title, they aren’t shared publicly by team president Brad Stevens. “We talk every day but I want to go back to this: Joe’s a strength,” said Stevens in an unexpected presser (h/t Celtics Blog’s Bobby Manning).
“He’s done a really good job and I understand, because he’s new, that the easiest thing to do is nitpick him, but he’s done a really good job,” added the Celtics executive. “If he needs me, I’m here, but I trust him and I trust our staff. They’ve all done a good job and I think our players would all second that.”
