The Boston Celtics face a pivotal moment as head coach Joe Mazzulla reevaluates the team's strategy following their disappointing playoff exit against the New York Knicks. A significant factor in their downfall has been an over-reliance on three-point shooting, particularly in crucial matchups. With injuries to key players like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown compounding their issues, the Celtics need to rediscover the balance that led them to a championship in 2024.

Mazzulla's approach, dubbed 'Mazzulla ball,' will likely evolve to address these challenges. The team must focus on diversifying their offensive strategies, considering both inside scoring and ball movement to keep defenses guessing. The upcoming season will reveal whether Mazzulla can adapt and lead the Celtics back to contention.
