Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has expressed confidence and readiness for the team's upcoming title defense in the 2024-25 NBA season. Mazzulla's bold statement, 'People are gonna say the target is on our back, but I hope it's right on our forehead in between our eyes,' encapsulates the team's mindset as they prepare to be the hunted. The Celtics, led by stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, are returning most of their championship-winning roster and are determined to prove their dominance once again. Despite challenges, including offseason snubs and a competitive NBA landscape, Boston is focused on maintaining their high standards and repeating as champions. The Celtics are favorites to win it all again, with their first preseason game scheduled for October 4th against the Denver Nuggets.
