Celtics president Brad Stevens reflected on the team's painful postseason exit, acknowledging significant failures in their second-round series against the Knicks. With Jayson Tatum hindered by an Achilles injury, the Celtics blew critical leads in early games, heightening their struggles. Stevens emphasized the importance of capitalizing on opportunities, as the teamâs inability to secure wins when leading resulted in diminished chances for advancement. He hinted at necessary offseason adjustments to address the team's cap situation while also addressing their disappointing playoff performance in a light-hearted manner, shifting focus away from pain to potential future adjustments.
"Listen, the reality is we blew the first two games, right? And that's why we put ourselves in a tough spot."
"You get these opportunities, and one team takes advantage of them, and that team usually moves on."
