The Boston Celtics enter this season aiming to become the first team since the 2017-18 Golden State Warriors to win back-to-back NBA titles.

In an interview with Locked On Celtics Mazzulla explained why the Celtics won’t be “defending” their title at all this season. He called the phrase “defending a title” a “passive-aggressive” term and evoked the animal kingdom in his explanation.

Joe Mazzulla had a very on-brand answer when asked about how he wants the Celtics to go through the season as reigning champions.

While the Boston Celtics are returning 15 of the 17 players from last season's title team, their external additions include an intriguing free agent signing who will come to training camp fighting for a roster spot with the reigning NBA champions.

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is the most psychotic coach in the NBA, at least in the eyes of some NBA analysts after the comments he made in a recent interview with "Locked On Celtics" podcast host John Karalis.

Boston heads into this season the target of every other team, no matter where you put it.

The architect of the Celtics’ championship-winning run, Mazzulla, dropped a sensational statement while asked about their title defense.

Following the addition of Lonnie Walker, Mazzulla praised the new Celtic but also sent a message on what it takes to thrive in Boston.

Boston Celtics head coach, Joe Mazzulla, has made it clear that the Celtics are "attacking a new goal," as the new season approaches.

When the Boston Celtics brought a merciful ending to Lonnie Walker IV’s waiting game, the move was met with positive reactions. Though Walker wasn’t necessarily viewed as a game-changing addition, he could be a worthwhile contributor.
