What is the role of the Celtics’ coaching staff in the ball club’s strong early-season performance?

How much credit should the Boston Celtics’ coaching staff get for the team’s hot start? Following the Celtics’ close 120-118 victory against the Toronto Raptors at TD Garden on Friday night, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast analyzed the significant role of the Celtics’ coaching staff in the ball club’s strong early-season performance to date.

Credit is certainly due in part to Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and his two new assistants in Sam Cassell and Charles Lee, but also veteran Boston assistant coach Tony Dobbins. Their combined efforts in crafting effective strategies for the team and building a resilient culture was particularly evident in the Raptors win, pulled off despite the absence of stars Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis.

Check it out the clip embedded below to hear what the Garden Report crew had to say about the role of coaching in the Celtics’ recent success.

Speaking to the media at the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League, Dobbins, excited about the addition of Lee and Cassell, compared the coaching turnover to roster churn for players but thinks both new assistant coaches are bringing long careers in that role as well as a bit of championship experience that will help him and Boston get closer to hanging Banner 18.
