Joe Mazzulla Not Impressed With Celtics’ Positive Energy At Training Camp

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla stated he is not overly impressed by the positive energy at training camp, noting that every NBA team feels good before facing real adversity. Speaking to insider Noa Dalzell, Mazzulla emphasized that the team's true identity and togetherness will only be revealed once challenges like travel, benchings, and losing streaks occur during the regular season.

Following the offseason departure of Jaylen Brown, the Celtics are navigating major roster changes alongside star Jayson Tatum. To aid preparation, Mazzulla has instituted mandatory 15-minute post-travel yoga sessions ahead of road games, according to guard Payton Pritchard, as Boston prepares for its preseason opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
