The Boston Celtics will consider changing their lineup after the All-Star break. Boston has lost nine of their past 15 games.

"It's going to be a tough ending if we don't change a little bit, and I'll look at what I can change, as well," a visibly discouraged Stevens said after Wednesday's loss. "I think we're probably due for some of that."

The Celtics stood pat at the trade deadline.

Stevens has suggested throughout the season that the Celtics may not be as good as their record has indicated.

"I don't think we're all that we were cracked up to be during our 16-game winning streak, and it's probably hit us more in the last month than it hit us before," Stevens said.

"We have no excuses. I told our guys excuses are contagious. Everybody else has been playing too. ... At the end of the day, excuses are contagious -- go play."
