ADJUSTMENTS: What Can Boston Celtics expect in Game 2? | Mazzulla COY Finalist
Boston Celtics showcase playoff dominance with a professional dismantling of the Philadelphia 76ers. Can Joe Mazzulla’s squad sweep their rivals and cement themselves as the Eastern Conference favorites? John Karalis of Celtics On SI and Tom Westerholm of Boston.com dissect the Celtics’ game one blowout, highlighting Jayson Tatum’s lockdown defense on Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown’s focus, and how Derrick White continues to command respect in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation. Mazzulla’s meticulous preparation and the team’s depth set the tone for a deep playoff push.
Key topics include the Sixers’ need for more three-point shooting, Nick Nurse’s potential defensive adjustments, and why attacking Boston’s bigs could be Philadelphia’s only lifeline. Entertaining banter covers fan “We Want Boston” chants, award snubs for Neemias Queta and Derrick White, and whether Celtics’ professionalism makes them virtually unbeatable in round one.

Off subject, black is a good color on you
Just give Joe and his coaches the award now.
<— Guilty as charged. I hate Nick Nurse's stupid face(s).
Mazulla is the clear fav to win that awards
Maxey is trying to check his achilles its Nick Nurse tactics
I know it’s early but #19 is on the table. We’ll see how the cards get dealt but man it’s an exciting time to be a Celtics fan
So it was Tom leading the chants yesterday We want Boston😂 more power to him
I think Queta could be a 20 pt/game scorer, but probaly not on this team.
If there is one thing that you can count on it’s the Magic love to steal game 1’s. 😂
