Transcript

00:00sort of an underrated part of this upcoming season is obviously you have the big storyline of like

00:06you know when does Jason Tatum return the Eastern Conference similar to the AFC is pretty wide open

00:11you know does Jalen Brown make all NBA first team like a push for that uh you know what is Peyton

00:16Pritchard's role like if it's elevated as you start a couple of the new guys blah blah blah

00:20I think Joe Mazzula is fascinating this year because how good of a coach is he he's not

00:26going to have the best roster in basketball no what is he going to get at these guys I think

00:30some of his frustrations there is he knows his roster kind of stinks but yeah keep going I mean

00:35a year ago at this time they are we are saying they're going to win 70 games they have Porzingis

00:40and Horford and Drew Holiday and Tatum and Brown and Derek White you know like this is I think was

00:46it Stan Van Gundy's like this is the best roster ever assembled yeah it was it's too strong but like

00:51that was sort of the the idea of the team and Mazzula's obviously uh had a lot of success so

00:56far but now you you remove a lot of that talent and he's gonna be fired up he lives and dies with

01:02all these games and if he doesn't have guys that he thinks are trying he's gonna he's gonna be a

01:05madman this year I'm fascinated to see how it unfolds he's already a madman he already is so

01:09this is true this is the tip of the iceberg in this press conference which was just a Joe Mazzula

01:13tour de force the other night but I I think this is preseason basketball too yeah yeah and again they won

01:19I don't have the score in front of me didn't they win like 133 to like 105 they killed him yeah it

01:25was uh 138 to 107 they won by 30 points and this is Joe so in a preseason game so he's he is an

01:32absolute wild man the lunatic and no this year is the best way this year is gonna tell us a lot

01:37about Joe Mazzula I agree 100 percent but I think what's bleeding through is he is frustrated with his

01:42roster yeah which is not frustration I don't think with Brad Stevens that's frustration with the

01:46situation yeah Bill Chisholm and he's not alone a lot of people are frustrated with the situation

01:52the Celtics are in with new ownership tearing down what easily easily could be a championship contender

01:58not favorite championship contender with a full roster even without Tatum back until March this

02:05is a championship contending roster and I think he's frustrated

02:09all right
