With Payton Pritchard saying he recently had to pull himself out of a mental funk, I asked Sam Hauser what he turns to when he’s experiencing that.
“You put all this work in, and for you to go in & not play confident or be in a mental funk, it’s a slap in the face to yourself.”

Sam Hauser on Celtics integrating new teammates:
“It’s been fun. I feel like everyone’s jived pretty quickly in terms of getting to know each other and bonding off the court.

I also asked Mazzulla what his year as a coach with the Maine Celtics did for his growth.
“Being in a room where you're not the smartest guy humbles you and allows you to learn. And being a part of that really helped me when I became a head coach later on.”

Joe Mazzulla says the Celtics went over Quentin Grimes’ buzzer beater to end the 3rd Qtr. in their two-point loss to the 76ers on Tuesday. They also reviewed leaving Cedric Coward open on an end-of-quarter miss against the Grizzlies.
He notes how those matter as much as crunch-time possessions.

You can pick any play and see how much effort Luka Garza puts forth when he's on the floor. The one below exemplifies that.
After beautiful ball movement, he battles one-on-three for the offensive rebound. Then he gets it again and draws a foul on Jaren Jackson Jr. The definition of a Tommy Point.
