A quick turnaround to Milwaukee, the city where Ime Udoka’s Celtics began their 2-3 comeback against the Bucks two springs ago, left little time or room for discussion about today. This year’s meeting with the Rockets in Boston has taken on more significance after Houston hired Udoka back in April.
It’s been 478 days since Joe Mazzulla replaced Udoka as interim head coach and still, few know quite how to talk about him.
“You look at guys and coaches around the league who don’t get experiences working for multiple head coaches,” Joe Mazzulla said on Thursday.
