"The Story's Not Done"

Asked Joe Mazzulla what he thinks the story of this Celtics team has been:

“The story's not done. We are only a product of what we do tomorrow, what we do the next day, and that's just the story. And if we would have lost this game by 1, tomorrow’s film session has to be as… pic.twitter.com/kM8dPvM0UW

Everyone is a work in progress. When you care, you're always "under construction." 

"We are only a product of what we do tomorrow, what we do the next day, and that's just the story."

"All we've done is stick to the process of winning on both ends of the floor, put our head down, don’t overreact to a good win or to a bad loss. And, get better in the next game. So, still plenty of stuff we can get better from tonight."

"So the story is, it's just not done — and we just got to keep sticking to that process.” 

One of the beauties of sport is that you enjoy and celebrate a win and then you go back to work so that you can have that feeling again. And because you know you don't want to feel the sting of a loss. 

In 2002, including playoffs, MVB was 14-8. MVB 25 was 13-8. No difference...and then what?

From 2003 to 2005, MVB went 66-7, the First Dynasty. One season doesn't define you, it's your "body of work." You have the opportunity to be special. Write a great story.
