For all the talk of Kristaps Porzingis and, more recently, Jrue Holiday, our attention will quickly turn to the upcoming season. There’s one goal: win a championship.
The Boston Celtics new-look roster will need time to gel, time to adjust to new schemes and systems, and time to adapt to new coaching voices within the locker room. This time last year, the Celtics faced a similar task. This year, there’s been time to plan and prepare, and there’s a roster that Joe Mazzulla likely had input on.
Mazzulla also has a new coaching staff. Sam Cassell, Phil Pressey, and Charles Lee joined the franchise and will serve as Mazzulla’s primary assistants.
