Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens met with the press Tuesday morning to discuss the future plans of the team while touching on what comes after their 2022 NBA Finals loss to the Golden State Warriors last week and to give an update on the state of the team.
The Celtics are in a good position to continue competing for a championship in the immediate future but have a number of issues that were exposed by that Finals loss, ranging from simple inexperience to structural issues in the team’s rotation created by a lack of reliable depth able to play in the postseason.
Stevens began by acknowledging that while at the start of the season the Celtics “didn’t look like a team that would be quite in the mix” he related that Boston “didn’t think we were as far off as maybe others would assume.”
