"It may not be the most popular thing to say but you gotta go through some s**t if you wanna get to where you wanna get to."

Celtics interim head coach Joe Mazzulla knows its a long NBA season and like his predecessors Brad Stevens and Ime Udoka, he's not going to lose it after a midseason loss. Here's his postgame presser following the blowout loss to the Thunder Tuesday night:

And in case you're wondering, Stevens isn't going to name Damon Stoudamire the head coach or bring Ime back. Mazzulla will be the guy the rest of the season, and likely moving forward after that.

First off, no the Celtics aren't getting rid of Joe Mazzulla. Stop it.

But they could have used a little of this tonight for sure. pic.twitter.com/9LY9eIwYvc

Despite the loss the Celtics still own the NBA's best record at 26-12.
