Mazzulla: Depth, Ball Movement Key for Celtics in Game 7

Despite shortening the rotation for the first round, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed that depth remains a strength of his team throughout the postseason. "I think you're always trying to look to take advantage of the roster you have," Mazzulla said, noting that depth has been beneficial throughout the regular season and first six games against Philadelphia.

Mazzulla emphasized that regardless of who plays, sticking to the game plan and fundamentals is crucial. "Regardless of who's playing, sticking to that process," he said, citing offensive rebounds, taking care of the ball, and defensive rebounds as key areas for improvement. The Celtics need to adapt to how the Sixers are defending them while staying true to their successful ball-movement style to advance to face the New York Knicks in the East Semis. macnevers-and-co.beer
