The Boston Celtics have been to the playoffs in every season of the Brad Stevens era in Boston since the 2014-15 season. I included last year in this stat considering Stevens assembled a championship team as President of Basketball Operations for the Celtics.

Stevens acknowledged that none of his teams have raised a banner (yet), but they have been close and have had good-to-great teams to do so.

"We haven't hung one of those banners, but we've had a lot of close teams, and a lot of good teams," says Brad Stevens. "This one has as much camaraderie and togetherness as any I've been around."

Stevens was the architect behind acquiring Malcolm Brogdon. One single move that has transformed the Celtics in multiple ways, both on and off the court. He appreciates the way Brogdon is embracing his role off the bench, a role that’s completely new for him.

Brad Stevens says he appreciates Malcolm Brogdon embracing his role off the bench and adds, "Even in some of our losses, I've left very encouraged because of what he was able to provide for us when we were really struggling. It just adds another dimension to us, I think."

Stevens also talks about the recent losing skid the Celtics have been on, dropping five of their last six, as interim head coach Joe Mazzulla navigates different lineups and matchups.

Brad Stevens on our recent rough patch of performances: "I've seen a lot of good-to-great teams do that. And so the key is, how do you respond to that? And how do you, as a staff, maintain the right approach as you're trying to make small tweaks and fix it?"

Stevens goes on to explain that Mazzulla’s title is what it is, but he’s the one who’s running the show. He continues on by saying there will be “updates” in regards to Mazzulla’s title.
