The Boston Celtics are the most decorated franchise in NBA history.
After all, the Boston Celtics have 18 NBA Championship banners hanging from the rafters of the TD Arena, with the latest being 2024.
A talented roster is important to winning an NBA title, but the intelligent head coach behind the clipboard is just as important.
Luckily, the Celtics discovered that there was no one else other than current head coach Joe Matzlla.
Often, iconic NBA franchises like the Celtics don’t trust in inexperienced coaches. However, C overlooked that part when he hired Mazzura as head coach before the 2022-23 season.
Many believed that the Celtics had rushed to make the decision due to the complicated circumstances of former head coach Ime Udoka’s departure.
However, Mazzulla proved his doubters wrong by helping C score a 57-25 record in his first season with the team.
To improve things, Mazzulla led the Celtics’ 2024 NBA Championship run as the organization ultimately ended the 16th championship drought.
In fact, Mazra has a staggering 74.0% victory with the Celtics during the regular season, as he has a record of 182-64 under leadership.
At 36, Mazzulla is one of the youngest head coaches in the NBA. After all, he combines six years of experience as a league assistant and head coach.
Despite this, C appears to trust Mazra as his long-term head coach. This is clear from the fact that Mazzulla recently signed a multi-year contract extension with the Celtics.
Although details of the transaction have not been made public yet, it is safe to assume that Mazzulla is likely to be one of the NBA’s top-point head coaches.
The only question is that Mazra can bring another NBA title to Boston. Only time can be seen.
