This team seems to be all business and are taking every opponent seriously. It's about time. However, part of me is slightly concerned too. I hope they don't get burnt out, as the game needs to be fun too. During the '07/'98 season, KG and the rest of the team were all business, but made sure to enjoy Geno time.
Maybe I've missed him, but I don't recall seeing Duece at any of these games. Again, this might be part of the all business attitude.
I have to give coach Mazzulla credit for bringing in Charles Lee and Sam Cassell as assistant coaches. Not only that, but also reaching out and inviting past Celtics players to talk to the team. Bringing in all that championship experience (including Holiday), only helps to remind this team that they haven't won anything and to show them everything (including sacrificing) it takes to win a title.
