Is Joe Mazzulla the right person to coach the Boston Celtics next season? Considering the Celtics’ early series performance in their 2023 Eastern Conference final against the Miami Heat, it is a legitimate question. There were also several duds in the regular season.

In addition, Mazzulla led the team to the conference finals in his first year as coach, a tenure born amid disaster and scandal left by former coach Ime Udoka.
Against that backdrop, many areas for improvement exist for a team with designs on a title.
The hosts of the TNT “Inside the NBA” show debated whether it makes sense for Boston to bring Mazzulla back, or if they ought to go with a more experienced head coach next season.
