Why Joe Mazzulla Broke Down Red Sox-Blue Jays Film For Celtics
Briefly

You take a look at that game and the Blue Jays are up, 6-2, and the Red Sox are dead in the water and it's the bottom of the seventh (inning) and there's a routine, fundamental infield fly ball, and the Blue Jays let it fall. And that's the beginning of the demise of the run. So something as fundamental as just catching a foul ball and having the communication of who's catching it is the difference between winning and losing.
It doesn't matter whether you win a championship or not. You have to commit to the details and you have to have an understanding of what goes into winning and losing.
It's become expected at this point for Mazzulla to roll out of bed on the hunt for a way to expand the Celtics locker room's perspective and ability to be open-minded before taking the floor. To some, it might come off as an over-exaggeration of coaching a mega-talented NBA team, but Boston bought into Mazzulla's mindset.
Boston bought into Mazzulla's mindset and watched as its year grew from promising to a league-best 64-win season to a 16-3 run in the playoffs, rewarding the franchise with its 18th Larry O'Brien.
