## Resource

Is this Joe Mazzulla’s best season yet? Are calls for change just noise? John Karalis of Celtics On SI tackles the heated debate on the Boston Celtics’ future after a crushing playoff collapse, breaking down why firing Mazzulla isn’t the answer, the team’s remarkable regular season, and what tweaks could propel stars like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White to new heights. Mailbag questions fuel a fast-paced discussion on the Celtics’ offseason wish list—should Neemias Queta stay as starting center, or is a new veteran needed? Karalis also unpacks playoff physicality issues, Sam Hauser’s future, and the developmental outlook for Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman, and Amari Williams. Plus, bold predictions on Cooper Flagg in Celtic green and the strategy behind staying under the luxury tax set the stage for another pivotal summer in Boston.
