On July 2nd of last year, Boston Celtics guard Derrick White was celebrating his birthday with a relaxing round of golf. Then Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla called him, but not just to wish him a happy birthday. Months ago, Derrick White mentioned a call he received on his birthday from Joe Mazzulla. “I don't think we played to our standard tonight,” Brown admitted in his postgame presser. Perhaps White, who Mazzulla motivated all those months ago, will lead the charge if the C's are even more undermanned than usual.
