“We haven’t won”: Head coach Joseph Mazzulla discusses Boston Celtics title chances this season

Boston Celtics’ head coach Joseph Mazzulla believes that his team should not be considered as the title contenders this term.

The Celtics are going through an impressive time on the court where they are leading the Atlantic Standings with 34 wins and 10 defeats this season.

Mazzulla was recently quoted in a report where he stated that despite their impressive numbers, they should not be considered as favourites to lift the title.

“I don’t think they’re competing with us,” said the 35-year-old. “First of all, we haven’t won. So I don’t know why anyone’s competing with us. We haven’t won a championship since 2008. We’re certainly not the standard.

“We’re chasing people as much as people may say they’re chasing us. We don’t even look at it in that standpoint. We just have to keep that healthy balance of knowing we’re a really good teams but there’s also other really good teams and how we match up against them and how do we continue to get better as a team.”

Celtics have won their last two matches against the Houston Rockets (116-107) and the Dallas Mavericks (119-110). Their next match will be against the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center on Thursday.
