The Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum was interviewed following Boston’s 126-117 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on opening night.
On how he’s feeling as the Celtics kick off their season, Tatum said, “This is the best I’ve felt coming into a season in the last 2-3 years.”
On the time following the team’s finals loss, Tatum said, “Tough summer … everywhere I went, somebody mentioned good job in the Finals, next year, you guys did well. They meant in a good way, but it’s just a reminder that we lost … it’s opening night, one team is getting a ring and we’re not. That kind of kept me up last night.”
On Joe Mazzulla, Tatum said, “He’s just an overall good person. As much as I do on the court, he cares about the things that I do off the court. We’ve had a great relationship ever since he’s been here. I ain’t crying, I just got something in my eye.”
