Joe Mazzulla has a more hands-on role now than he did the last time the Celtics were in the NBA Finals, two years ago.

Mazzulla, who was an assistant coach at the time, told reporters Tuesday that he couldn’t remember what his mind-set was like heading into that series against the Warriors, and that his role in the Celtics’ preparation for those games wasn’t big.

“I didn’t really have a role in it because it wasn’t my scout,” Mazzulla said. “We just did things differently.”

Still, Mazzulla was there and able to observe what the series looked and felt like.
