Heat dream of ‘sweep’ against Celtics, and Mazzulla admits error

Joe Mazulla does not seem to believe in the third consecutive defeat of the Celtics for the Heat. The 3-0 aggregate score leaves Boston even further away from an eastern conference title shot, and as a result, the climate is not the best for one of the most successful franchises in the history of the conference. NBA. Therefore, the coach of the alviverde team made a big outburst after yet another negative result.

At a press conference, Joe Mazzulla took full responsibility for the Celtics’ loss to the Heat. The coach highlighted that he couldn’t find the best way for the team to attack and also to defend itself. According to the coach, he did not leave the team ready and prepared to seek a victory that would have been fundamental for the confrontation between the two franchises.

I just didn’t have them ready to play. I have to put them in a better place to be ready to play, and that’s on me.“, he highlighted.

In addition to taking the blame for the defeat, Mazzulla also made a point of talking about his defense and the difficulty in finding a good position. In the view of the Celtics coach, his team has completely lost confidence and needs to regain it to avoid at least one sweep in the eastern conference final: “Yes, I think part of that defensive identity has been lost and we have to get it back“.

Jaylen Brown also left the Celtics’ loss to the Heat frustrated!

In a press conference, shortly after the loss to the Heat, Jaylen Brown was sincere when he commented on the loss of the Celtics to Miami. The negative result did not please the playmaker, who warned of the need for a change in posture. But like the entire squad, the player appeared given up on the possibility of a comeback against a 3-0 aggregate score.

I don’t even know where to start. It’s an obvious disappointment. I feel like we’ve let our fan base, our organization down. We are disappointed. And it was collective. We could even point the finger (at the mistakes), but in reality, it was just an embarrassing performance”, he stated.
