Joe Mazzulla deserves credit for the Celtics winning 50 games with a bad roster

The Celtics were not that good this year. ... The fact that they got to 50 wins and the second seed is a testament to Joe Mazzulla. Right. Your flaws come out when you're in the playoffs.

Most analysts considered the Celtics roster one of the deepest in the league, making the claim that it was a 'bad team' highly debatable.
