As Coach Mazzulla signs his extension with the Celtics, continuing his commitment to the team, this gives the Celtics the aspiration to compete for their next championship. Even though their star player is out for now, they still have the same ambition to face whatever battles arrive their way. On the bright side, they still have their Finals MVP, Jaylen Brown, now taking the leadership role. With the newly acquired Anfernee Simons, who was brought in with the hopes of adding scoring punch, and Josh Minott is expected to step up with the front-court gaps.

The Celtic’s main objective for this season is transitioning to a style that emphasizes more speed and more shots, hence more transition opportunities. If the Celtics can overcome their challenges and succeed until the post-season, there is a high chance of Jayson Tatum returning, which gives them a renewed spark and the possibility of making a deep playoff run, restoring their championship hopes and proving that Boston’s resilience and depth can carry them all the way.
