The Boston Celtics, led by Joe Mazzulla, are well-positioned to go deep into the playoffs and win their first NBA championship since 2008. The Celtics have advanced to four conference finals and one NBA Finals appearance under the Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown era. With an intense desire that permeates the whole roster and coaching staff, Boston continues to strive to overcome setbacks.
Cedric Maxwell, a Celtics radio analyst and the MVP of the 1981 NBA Finals, recently related a chat he had with Mazzulla at TD Garden while admiring the championship banners of Boston’s history. Maxwell heard the Celtics coach talk about his desire to win.
“I would do anything, anything, to bring another banner,” he declared. Maxwell stated in the podcast “First to the Floor.” “Man, there were actual tears in his eyes. “Big fella, you’re going to get there,” I remarked. With 56 wins, the reconstructed Celtics team leads the NBA and has the talent and perseverance to go all the way to the title. Maxwell thinks the opportunity is still open if this Boston club is the one of the age to complete the task.
