Brian Windhorst: "But when you get to Boston, you have to understand there is two enormously important things. Number one, what it would take to get Giannis Antetokounmpo in a trade. I think the Celtics are going to be very, very cautious with making any firm offer. Second thing is, if you are going to entertain trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, you are talking about changing your entire style of play in Boston, and Joe Mazzulla has pretty much been dogmatic in how he wants to play."
Derrick White on Joe Mazzulla: "He's a great basketball mind. He thinks the game like no one I've really been around. All the stories of him just being crazy just how he is every single day. It's not for the media, nothing. He just goes out there and he's like, all these stories that the media hears about me is like people telling it. I don't go out there and do all this stuff."

Jay King: Joe Mazzulla reiterated in his statement about winning Coach of the Year that he believes the award should be named Staff of the Year. “Thank you to the Lord for the platform he has given me, and to my wife and family who support me on this journey,” said Mazzulla. “Thank you to our players who compete and give it everything they have each night. I am grateful for every member of the Celtics organization whose dedication impacts winning every day. This award belongs to our staff, who are there for the guys every day. Their relentless work ethic improves our team daily.”
Daniel Donabedian: Joe Mazzulla is the first coach of the Boston Celtics to win Coach of the Year since Bill Fitch in 1980. He joins Fitch, Tommy Heinsohn, and Red Auerbach as the only Celtics coaches to ever win the award. (P.S. Bill Russell should’ve been COTY as a player-coach)
Michael Scotto: Sources: The Blazers interviewed Rockets assistant Ben Sullivan for their head coaching job. He interviewed for the Suns last summer. He’s been an assistant for Ime Udoka (Rockets/Celtics), Joe Mazzulla and Mike Budenholzer (Bucks/Hawks). He played for the University of Portland.
Joe Mazzulla is expected to remain the Celtics' head coach despite blowing a 3-1 lead to the 76ers.

NBA Courtside: Joe Mazzulla was asked if the Celtics relied on too many 3s: "No, I thought we did a great job reading the two on ones, taking what the defense gave us, and in the games we lost, the other team shot over thirty eight percent from three. And so, um, you got to make shots. You have to be able to do that. Um, something we've done well, something we do well. And you know, we just did it. And I thought they did a good job throughout the, you know, the series later games of making them. And so, um, love the looks that we got, love the process that we had. Um, but hate the result."
