Joe Mazzulla, Celtics Coaches Dominate Media in Videos of Pickup Basketball Game

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and the team's coaching staff held a pickup basketball game against local media on Monday.

And yes, it went about as well for the media members as you're expecting:

This was never a fair fight, of course.

Mazzulla was a former college player at West Virginia before he began his coaching career. His assistant coaches and player enhancement staff includes Sam Cassell (a three-time champion and one-time All-Star in the NBA), Phil Pressey (three years in the NBA), Amile Jefferson (two years in the NBA) and Da'Sean Butler (played for West Virginia and the G League), among others.

You have to imagine that the 57-4 final score was cathartic for Mazzulla, however, who has to address the media on a near-daily basis and faces the scrutiny of beat reporters and fans alike.

But it was also a bit of preseason fun. Well, for the coaches, at least—it's hard to imagine the media members enjoyed their 53-point loss.
