Jayson Tatum and Joe Mazzulla aren't happy with the way the Celtics are playing, but they're also taking a positive mindset through it.

Mazzulla says the pressure on the Celtics is coming from comparisons to Cavs and Thunder: "Oh, you're not as good because you're not them."

During a recent news conference, the Celtics head coach discussed the difficulties and importance of finding minutes for younger players looking to improve their game. He explained the balancing act it takes and why it's a high priority for the team to ensure a pipeline is in place.

Mazzulla said his players have to welcome the challenge of snapping out of the worst slump since the coach’s first season.
