The Boston Celtics made a big announcement over the NBA offseason, revealing the new contract extension for head coach Joe Mazzulla.

Mazzulla ushered Boston to a title in 2024, implementing an innovative style of play focused on high-volume 3-point shooting and ball movement.

Now, he is locked in for the long-term future with the Celtics. The organization is clear on its system and style of play, setting them up for success in the coming years.

Additionally, the NBA marquee games got leaked by ESPN's Shams Charania. The Boston Celtics are going to miss out on a key date this season around Christmas time.

The Celtics won't have superstar Jayson Tatum, and with the Eastern Conference lacking in good teams, there isn't an ideal matchup for Boston.
