Joe Mazzulla PRAISES Celtics Stay-Ready Group After Win vs Jazz | Postgame Interview

Um what did you like what was the score 9391 I had no idea what did you like about the way you closed that quarter and then went on that Big Run the second quarter uh I mean that’s the reason why I didn’t know that is cuz I was so

Caught up in just managing the game and so I thought there was three times where we got leads where uh I wish we could play that team like five more times because of they have an innate ability to uh dominate the transitions right and

So uh three times we had a lead and we came down and either had a transition turnover we took a a tough shot or um the offensive rebounding spacing was poor and they were able to get out in transition and get those easy baskets and when they see a couple go in they

They have life and so there was three really important Pockets to the game uh where it got to you know as close as it did and so regardless of the score I was focused on like we just got to man we got to win those transitions we got to

Make sure we get a great shot every time down we got to make sure we get it to five on five and uh we got to make sure we hold them to one and I thought uh the end of the third and that fourth quarter we weed dominated the transitions right

They they couldn’t get they couldn’t get those I don’t know if we took a poor shot uh in that quarter and um you know that’s a difference between uh winning and losing against good teams and this team you know the record doesn’t reflect it but they’re talented they’re

Obviously well coached and they’re just super talented and U uh physical put a ton of pressure on you you know and especially on the offensive end shot 47% from three you know so what did you like about the rebounding you mentioned obviously one of the best offensive rebounding teams

You guys got won that yeah I mean I thought everybody did a great job uh that that’s how this team beats you is transition threes transition baskets offensive rebound threes free throws and uh really take advantage of your ability to I mean your inability to have uh you

Know good possessions and so that when you have empty possessions offensively they put a ton of pressure on you and uh so our guys did a great job uh holding him to one shot which took away those margin plays those momentum plays you know much easier is it when Derek

White’s just flowing like that 7 thre it just seemed like he was just kind of the ball movement was find of him open yeah the ball mov was finally an open and the start to third we kind of went to our bread and butter of D white pick and

Rolls and I thought luk and X did a great job navigating that O’Shea setting good screens and uh we got a steady diet of those you know D white pick and rolls which kind of settles us down uh gets us a different frequency uh and uh we get different

Looks out of that so uh he did a great job the entire night and uh you see why you know he’s important to our team it’s could us a trap game last game of a road trip you guys are tired you guys kind of just push through

For the final 46 minutes or whatever like what does that say about the yeah I mean I think it says more I didn’t say this enough in the locker room but the fact the last couple games everybody’s stepping up like it’s just kind of what

We were trying to build where we have an environment a locker room a culture of like it doesn’t matter who’s in guys are ready to play at all times and the work that the player development team does getting guys ready the the professionalism that those guys have

They’re just constantly ready and I have no hesitancy putting any one of those guys in because of the work they do and it reflected over these two games you know and that’s kind of uh what we’re trying to fight for you know is uh is

That depth and uh it’s it’s been fun to watch L specifically what did you like about them and I guess what have you kind of learned maybe over the past few weeks about just their strength that we can say especially when it comes to

Match I mean that Luke and X the the i’ say Luke X O’Shea and uh Payton in particular uh lately and you know just really everybody so like SP and neimi stepped up earlier in the year we didn’t have those guys Jayden JD hadn’t have their opportunity yet but the other guys

Have an innate ability to play at their absolute best regardless of the sub pattern regardless of if they know they’re going in actually know he was going to play as much as he did right and so uh just the professionalism and the stay Readiness that they have is a

Credit to the coaching staff and a credit to the players but their ability to be flexible so Luke and X have never played together but they they are able to find ways to connect offensively and defensively and when you have your role players being able to do that it uh really helps us
