BRIGHTON, MA — Brad Stevens appeared at shootaround, as he occasionally will, on Friday before the Celtics took on the Timberwolves, but stepped into the media scrum and took questions. As Joe Mazzulla hit his longest losing streak as interim head coach, Stevens took the rare move of stepping in to show his support as Mazzulla takes some heat for his optimistic tone through struggles, timeout strategy and the team’s inconsistent effort.
“It’s hard, I think that one of the things you have the benefit of in the seat I’m in now is getting a much more macro view of everything,” Stevens said. “I just think that when you’re in it, every play sits with you, every moment of a game sits with you, the losses sit with you in a big way. You rehash all of those singular moments and to be able to, then, look at a film objectively and kind of take the emotion out of it is tough … I just want him to know, I want our staff to know, that I get it, I’ve lived it and when you have a three-game blip like we’ve had right now where we haven’t played very well, or a two-week deal where we haven’t played very well, I’ve seen a lot of good-to-great teams do that and so the key is how you respond.”

Brad you should of got Dwight, Orlando beasted on y’all with those 6’10 guys
Cut Luke lol and vonleh
Yeah its kind of like the nba pressed a reset button and all the teams dominating slowed, everyone is "injured" one or another game and then back, and the crappy teams all of a sudden got better. Must have nothing to due with making bets more unpredictable.
bullshitt joe cannt coach period
send white grant and hauser to the g league
The early hype train is over. This team as currently assembled, simply not good enough.
the suns, warriors, bucks all have the same or more losses than tthe celtics but their fans dont complain and bitch like celtics fans
It’s the reffs they hate on the 1# team being Boston everyone hates Boston!!!
Jason Tatum is a major disappointment defensively, I'm watching the game now against Timberwolves and he is letting players blow by and get to the rim. He is too soft defensively and this is becoming the norm. The Garden is a place teams don't mind coming to and kicking our ass! Toughen up! He makes no significant impact plays on D😤
Don't look now.but the Cs are getting beat tonight by the timberwolves. Brown needs to come off the bench. His turnovers and horrendous shooting is killing us. Just a game and I am a long time fan but realistically, the Cs are about the 4th or 5th best team in the east. We were lucky last year.
One of Brads best takes
This is such a great interview. Brad is such a smart dude
