The Boston Celtics season is over, but Joe Mazzulla is not your fall guy.
Yes, the season is definitely over, and not in the fun way where we all get to order expensive prints of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown holding the Larry O’Brien Trophy and display them prominently next to our children and family pets above the fireplace.

So it is human nature to want to do something. The prospect of taking a slap across the face and then exercising patience and restraint is not exactly an enticing prospect.
