00:00True Holiday, I think, has been excellent for the Celtics so far.

00:06He had a big game scoring at 26 in game number two.

00:09I think he's been their best player all around through the first two games of this series.

00:13Here is Joe Mazzulla. He agrees with my assessment and he praises Holiday.

00:17I'd say the biggest thing is when you get someone and you realize that everything everybody says about him is true.

00:24That's probably one of the ultimate compliments that you can get is your character is what it is.

00:28It's what you say that it is. It's what other people say that it is. It's people that have noticed things.

00:32I'd say that. Everything everyone said about him when we first got him, it's been even better.

00:38Just the type of person that he is. His humility, his competitive nature, the way he treats his family,

00:44the way he treats his teammates, how hard he plays, and just his willingness to do everything.

00:48Look at the sports. Can we just keep this to me?

00:51He's pumping the guy up, Joe. Give him a break. Pumping the guy up. Rubbing his back a little bit.

00:58He reads bedtime stories almost like you. He cooks, he cleans, he reads bedtime stories.

01:03Like, come on. I need to know. Not only that, Mazzulla way too comfortable.

01:08The fact that this is 2-0, Mazzulla's like in the driver's seat. He's got the bus on cruise control.

01:15If this was 0-2 or 1-1, I wouldn't think he'd be doing so many greetings and salutations towards his play.

01:22The fact that he's up 2-0, he's got this bus on cruise control. Wait until they get slapped around tonight.
