\n Joe Mazzulla watches as many Manchester City matches as he can, and there\u2019s a clear symmetry there between that English soccer powerhouse and his Boston Celtics.They had games on the same date 10 times during the Celtics\u2019 regular season. When Man City prevailed, Mazzulla was thrilled and the Celtics \u2014 for whatever reason \u2014 just happened to go 9-0 in their games on those days. When Man City didn\u2019t win, the Celtics were 0-1.He\u2019s struck up a friendship with Man City manager Pep Guardiola; the two exchanged jerseys when Mazzulla visited his team over the NBA All-Star break, and Guardiola had courtside seats for Game 1 of the NBA Finals in Boston. It\u2019s part of what makes Mazzulla tick. He truly believes that coaches can help other coaches whether the games are the same or not.\u201cI think as you get into this, you start to realize, once you\u2019re in a position, nobody can really relate to you other than people in those positions,\u201d Mazzulla said Saturday in Boston, where the Celtics will play host to Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Sunday night. \u201cSo, you develop a bond with other coaches, and you know what they are going through, and you know what the challenges are and the opportunities and the situation you\u2019re in. I think it\u2019s really important that we all stick together.\u201d<\/p>\n
He has relationships with Boston\u2019s other pro coaches: Red Sox manager Alex Cora, Bruins coach Jim Montgomery and new Patriots coach Jerod Mayo, someone Mazzulla has been close with for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cJerod and I got close as assistants, just how would you do things when it\u2019s your opportunity, what have you learned from the head coaches that you\u2019ve worked for,\u201d Mazzulla said. \u201cAnd now that we are in this position, it\u2019s helping each other with the transition and the different experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mazzulla visiting Man City and talking to players there, that was big news. Guardiola being at Game 1, that commanded much attention. Boston coaches supporting one another, obviously that\u2019s going to be very well-received by the city\u2019s sports-mad fanbase.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s plenty of coach-to-coach talking that Mazzulla doesn\u2019t do publicly as well.A few months ago, he got on a Zoom call to talk to players at Division II\u2019s Gannon University \u2014 because he knew the coaching staff. Mazzulla has Division II roots as well, from his time as a coach at Glenville State and Fairmont State. It generated no attention, probably because Mazzulla didn\u2019t do it to seek attention. He just wanted to pass along some words of encouragement.\u201cJoe, it\u2019s phenomenal what he\u2019s done,\u201d said former Gannon coach Jordan Fee, now an assistant at Florida Atlantic \u2014 where the new head coach, John Jakus, is very close with Mazzulla as well. \u201cBut it\u2019s not a surprise to me. For those of us that knew Joe from Glenville State or Fairmont State, it\u2019s not a surprise for us that he\u2019s where he\u2019s at. Some things fell his way, maybe, but greatness is greatness. People recognized it in him.\u201dGAME 2 TRENDSDallas surely wouldn\u2019t mind seeing form hold in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks are 3-0 in Game 2s so far in these playoffs, all on the road, winning by one, three and nine points.Dallas is trying to become the first team in NBA history to go 4-0 in Game 2s in a single playoff run. It would also become the first team to go 4-0 in Game 2s in a postseason \u2014 regardless of location \u2014 since the Los Angeles Lakers during the bubble playoffs of 2020.\u201cI think there\u2019s no panic with this group,\u201d Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t play well in Game 1. Give credit to Boston; they did. But it\u2019s a series and we don\u2019t just look to capitalize on just one game. We\u2019ve lost Game 1 a lot of times, and we\u2019ve responded. We believe that we can respond in Game 2.\u201dThe Celtics are 1-2 in Game 2s so far in this postseason, all those games being played in Boston. They lost to Miami by 10, lost to Cleveland by 24 and beat Indiana by 16 in the Eastern Conference Finals.It should be noted that Game 2s are the only vulnerable spot Boston has had in this postseason. The Celtics are 12-0 in all other games of a series.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery series is different. Every game is different,\u201d Celtics center Al Horford said. \u201cFor us, we understand it\u2019s a big challenge. We are not really thinking about the past. We have to focus on this Game 2 and make sure we do the things we need to do to put ourselves in position to win a game.\u201dKYRIE IN BOSTONAs expected, Mavericks guard \u2014 and former Celtics guard \u2014 Kyrie Irving wasn\u2019t the most popular guy in TD Garden for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. Nobody thought it would be a warm welcome from Boston fans, and it wasn\u2019t.Irving is just fine with that.\u201cI don\u2019t expect to be celebrated by everybody,\u201d he said Saturday. \u201cI\u2019m going to still be aware that a lot of people want to see me fail. But again, I think I pay attention more to the way that I\u2019m celebrated from people that love me unconditionally and I go home and have a peace of mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, thinking about my time in Boston, I could go down a myriad of things that none of you in here know that I was dealing with, and I don\u2019t think a lot of people would care. I think a few people would care and want to hear about it, and I would leave that space open in the future if you ever want to hear about it.\u201dSTREAKINGBoston\u2019s current eight-game playoff winning streak is the longest in Celtics history. Another win on Sunday, and the streak starts to hit rarefied air.Golden State has the record for consecutive wins in a single postseason \u2014 15 in 2017. San Antonio won 12 in a row in 1999, and the Los Angeles Lakers had 11-game win streaks in 1989 and 2001.Cleveland won 10 straight in 2016 and 2017, the Spurs won 10 in a row in 2012 and New Jersey had a 10-game run in 2003.So, if Boston wins Game 2 on Sunday and pushes its win streak to nine, it\u2019ll join the 2021 Phoenix Suns, the 1996 Chicago Bulls and the 1982 Lakers for the ninth-longest run in a single playoff run in NBA history.___AP NBA: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/NBA<\/p>\n
