I just wanted to pause and point out that we are pretty lucky here when it comes to the Celtics leadership structure. You see coaches and GMs getting fired around this time of year (see Chicago). You see ownership making questionable decisions (see Dallas, Sacramento) or in upheaval for one reason or another. It all makes me feel even more appreciation for what we have in Boston.<\/p>\n
Granted, Bill Chisholm still needs the opportunity to prove that he means what he says, but at the very least he\u2019s saying the right things and seems to have the right attitude. (We\u2019ll cover this in a post later this morning)<\/p>\n
Brad Stevens has the success and influence that speaks for itself. All Joe Mazzulla does is win and you can see why. He has all the right qualities you would want for a Celtics coach. The rest of the front office staff and coaching staff seem exceptional as well. These are good times.<\/p>\n
Side note: If feels like the last time I wrote one of these \u201cwe\u2019re so lucky with leadership\u201d posts was right before Danny left and Udoka was suspended, so I hope I\u2019m not jinxing anything here. That\u2019s a good reminder that nothing lasts forever. However, that also highlights how quickly the team was able to pivot and keep moving forward.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m fully aware that this is less of an actual \u201ctopic for discussion\u201d and more of an open invitation to show your appreciation and respect for what this team has built. However, I\u2019m sure there are some that are taking a wait-and-see approach with ownership (which is fair).<\/p>\n
So please jump into the comments and give your own perspective. Even if all you have to say is \u201camaze, amaze, amaze!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I just wanted to pause and point out that we are pretty lucky here when it comes to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":703550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3766],"tags":[7,45,75,65415,3798,46,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-703549","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-celtics","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-celtics","11":"tag-boston-celtics-discussion","12":"tag-bostonceltics","13":"tag-celtics","14":"tag-nba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116364171465540337","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=703549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/703549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/703550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=703549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=703549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=703549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
