Thats first and foremost with him, the coach said.

“In my mind? Two months ago”, he said after the Celtics opened training camp Saturday morning. David Lee and Amir Johnson have stocked up the Celtics dramatically, although it remains to be seen if they are enough to help the Celtics improve on their National Basketball Association playoff sting last season. Everything in practice is applicable to how we want to play in a game. “If you buy into what the coach is trying to do, and the Celtic culture, I think we definitely have a chance to make it to the championship (round)”. His goal at Butler was winning the NCAA title; now that he’s in the pros, an National Basketball Association championship is the only thing that matters.
At least one major publication thinks the Boston Celtics have a bright future. “He has to expend a lot of energy to score, and his size, defensively, can sometimes be a challenge, but he’s such an exciting and dynamic player”.
Boston’s biggest improvement came in the “management” department, where it now ranks third in the league thanks to “the brilliant coaching of Brad Stevens and the continued patience and shrewd asset collection of Danny Ainge“, writes ESPN.com’s Chad Ford.

The Celtics also have key young players in Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Kelly Olynyk and Marcus Smart.
But that’s not to say the Celtics are anywhere close to being a finished product. “I’d like to have an initial rotation by the time we play in Milan but that’ll change by the time we play our first game”.

Here are the top 10 plays of the season. That would bump Avery Bradley, a 25-year-old reliable veteran and already the longest tenured of these Celtics, from the starting lineup. But few coaches will have as many tough decisions ahead as Stevens.
