Brad Stevens received considerable praise as the Boston Celtics rebuilt themselves into a contender over the past few seasons, but they've failed to meet expectations in 18-19.

“I’m disappointed in myself,” said Stevens. “And I’ve gotta do a lot better.”

Stevens has received criticism for Boston's slow start with Gordon Hayward likely left in the starting lineup for too long.

“I think I just have to do a way better job of holding us to the standard with which we need to play,” Stevens said. “It’s not about who’s playing, it’s not about who’s in the game – who starts the game, who comes in the game. It’s just we have to play to a better standard for the full four quarters. And that’s on coaching.”
