At the start of Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla‘s tenure in that role at the start of the NBA’s 2022-23 season, the sobriquet of “Mazzulla ball” had not yet taken shape on the court, never mind in our collective consciousness. Not just an endless barrage of shots from beyond the arc, Mazzulla ball is actually a mix of attacks that rely on the spacing created by the 3-point shot and aggressive ball movement.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” and “Talkin’ Cs” podcasts, Jack Simone, Sam LaFrance, and Bobby Krivitsky, took a deep dive into the dynamics of Mazzulla ball and its reliance on spacing.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.
