Joe Mazzulla: Celtics Best Players BUY INTO Defense | Postgame Interview
What kind of message the team ownership and accountability and so um you know the guys we we we played some different defenses also throughout the game because the the guys either saw something or wanted to try and take advantage of something and so the guys take full ownership uh and working with
Us in our defensive scheme and when your best players want to play defense you got a chance every night and uh that’s one of the things that even since I’ve been here with the Celtics uh I’ve seen it and it’s continued as our best players buy in for defense uh every
Single night and that gives us a chance only short the rotation tonight level of intensity throughout why was G uh I think the players dictated that um you know we obviously had uh both KP and O’Shea out um but I just felt like that I liked uh what the the eight were
Giving us and uh like you said by the time it was time to have a change the sub pattern I just thought we were already in it I was already kind of too physical and I felt like uh it was hard to kind of go with some something
Different and kind of bring that physicality and so I thought the players on both you know us and Dallas just kind of dictated that intensity and our guys did a great job uh just maintaining it you talked before about you guys kind of wrapping up a pretty busy stretch the
Man were coming off four days off how do you feel like you you guys played with those two contrasting situations um I just told our guys in the locker room there’s only one time where I actually saw the schedule CCH catch up to us but you know 99% of the
Time this year I can never tell if it’s the first night of a back toback second night of a back to back three and four uh only once and um so our guys just bring it every single night and uh doesn’t mean we’re always going to win
Doesn’t mean we’re going to play perfect but uh our guys are just always ready to play regardless of the the schedule so I forgot it was a back toback just watching our guys compete I couldn’t I couldn’t tell um it’s a credit to them you just brought up the Milwaukee game
Um after that you kind of said this this wasn’t us but this is the first back to back since then was that a source of motivation tonight to kind of fix that no we never didn’t talk about it once uh no not at all Sorry thank you Joe thank you

I’m glad that this coach in this franchise realizes the defense is so much a part of winning through the year and into the playoffs! Especially when others are not playing it you have to play it because everybody’s gonna give you their best I don’t care who they are and you want to stop them. Get used to a two sided game. Both are important😮
