Speculation surrounds Boston Celtics' head coach Joe Mazzulla as he enters a crucial third season, following a disappointing end to the last campaign where the team was ousted by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. With Jayson Tatum sidelined, Mazzulla faces the challenge of developing young talent while adapting the team's offensive strategy, which has faced criticism for its heavy reliance on three-point shooting.

Despite scrutiny, Mazzulla has achieved a commendable 74% win rate in the regular season, winning 182 out of 246 games, and boasts a 33-17 postseason record. The upcoming season will be pivotal for Mazzulla, as analysts debate whether a subpar performance could jeopardize his position.
