Mazzulla’s Message | Pritchard Free Throws | Scheierman 1-On-1
Joe Mazzulla doubles down on togetherness and change as the Boston Celtics open training camp. Can a relentless focus on communication and mandatory team activities set the stage for a championship run—even as Paul George arrives under intense scrutiny after the controversial Jaylen Brown trade?
John Karalis of Celtics On SI spotlights Payton Pritchard’s determination to draw more fouls and anchor the second unit, challenging claims of a Jalen Brunson-level leap. The conversation explores Baylor Scheierman’s bid for a starting role, adjustments to his jump shot, and the significance of player-led film sessions. With new dynamics brewing and the Celtics’ depth drawing praise, will Mazzulla’s emphasis on togetherness unlock the full potential of Jayson Tatum and the supporting cast? Don’t miss this deep dive into Boston’s reshaped identity and what it means for their title aspirations.

Love that they practiced at the Citadel. It’s not quite Rome in 2007-08, but definitely somewhere to take inspiration from. Thanks JK ☘️🔒

Look, let's be real. The Celtics DID NOT GET 2 FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICKS. The 2028 Clippers pick is a SWAP. The Celtics give their 2028 first round pick swap from the Spurs as a result of the Derrick White trade. Soooooooooooooooo, it's a busted down old man in GP, 1 first rounder in 2032, A PICK SWAP IN 2028, and 2 junk ass 2nd rounders for a top 15 NBA player, an IRON man that gives you FAT minutes. Plus JB is gonna KICK the Celtics ass bloody the rest of his career as a 76er. Case Closed!
