There’s been a notion in the NBA for years, one that says the game changes when the postseason rolls around. Joe Mazzulla disagrees. In the eyes of the Boston coach, nothing really changes from the regular season to the playoffs. It’s a game. Show up and play.
Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla watches play during the first half of Game 2 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series against the Miami Heat, Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in Boston. Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham reacts during the second half in Game 2 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets Monday, April 22, 2024, in Denver .
“We will win or we will lose,” Jokic said. “We will see what’s going to happen. Hopefully we can win at home. After that, if we lose, we have another opportunity.”There are certainly some arguments to be made that playoff basketball and regular-season basketball are different. Entering Sunday — albeit with a much smaller sample size — teams were scoring 103.8 points per game so far in Round 1, down 9.1% from the regular-season rate of 114.2 per game.
There is one difference — those situations where being down 3-anything in a series brings an urgency that doesn’t exist throughout most of the regular season, until those games at the end where a team is facing elimination from postseason contention.
