On this episode of Mike Drop, host Mike Asti gets the scoop of just how much impact former Mountaineer Joe Mazzulla has really had on the Celtics.

Why did they not want to wait and evaluate after the playoffs? They also talk how much pressure is now on Mazzulla, how he's changed as a coach throughout the season and what he still can improve upon.
