Brad Stevens outlines Celtics offseason needs after early playoff exit
9 articles · Updated · Boston Herald · May 6
Four days after Boston's first-round loss to Philadelphia, Stevens said the 56-win team needs more interior scoring, while Jayson Tatum's Game 7 knee issue is not viewed as long term.
He said Jaylen Brown had expressed no organizational frustration, despite Tracy McGrady's comments, and pointed to Boston's 3-11 record against top contenders and recurring home playoff collapses.
Stevens said the Celtics overachieved but must strengthen a frontcourt depleted after last summer's cost-cutting exits, while praising rookie Hugo Gonzalez as an important athletic piece for the future.
After his 'favorite year' without Tatum, is Jaylen Brown's leadership ambition now incompatible with the Celtics' future?
Did Brown's MVP-level season also expose flaws that make him too risky to lead a championship contender?
