Celtics' Brad Stevens still reconciling how season that had sudden title hopes ended so quickly
Stevens said Boston must add more interior scoring after ranking last in restricted-area attempts during the regular season and second-to-last in the playoffs.
- On Wednesday, Boston Celtics NBA president of basketball operations Brad Stevens addressed the team's earliest playoff exit since 2021, stating the 56-win Celtics "simply weren't good enough" to compete with top NBA teams.
- Boston lost 109-100 to Philadelphia in Game 7 without Jayson Tatum, who was ruled out due to left knee stiffness after attempting a workout that Stevens said "clearly didn't feel right."
- Head coach Joe Mazzulla faced criticism for relying on 3-point shooting; Boston attempted seven more threes per game than any other team during the opening round but made just 33.7% of them.
- The Celtics hold a $27.5 million trade exception from the Nikola Vucevic deal, with Vucevic as the team's only unrestricted free agent; Stevens said "everything is on the table" for roster moves.
- Stevens believes the team "overachieved" relative to internal expectations, though Boston finished 3-11 against the top three seeds in the West and top two in the East, requiring improvement.
