CHANGES: Brad Stevens’ Celtics REVEAL Offensive Vision Minus Jaylen Brown

Lots of generic answers during team media days.

Like, how much are you truly going to learn? This is usually a day where people wax poetic about Jimmy Butler's wig and what he's doing.

Not a ton to take away from most of these media days.

But...

There was one clear theme from the Celtics, and it was my biggest takeaway from Monday's media day.

Brad Stevens said, quote, to be a great offense, you have to be able to score in isolation against certain matchups.

You have to be able to score and pick and roll.

And then this part, you have to be able to score off movement.

I think at times in the past, in the biggest moments, we've had a tendency to be stagnant.

This group can be more versatile in those ways, unquote.

Sam Hauser talked about the Celtics' style of play, what he expects this year.

Quote, I think it'll be pretty free-flowing, unquote.

Baylor Shireman, quote, we got a lot of guys that understand how to play, and there's going to be a lot of freedom of movement, and I think that fits my game really well.

unquote.

Peyton Pritchard, quote, I think we're going to play with more movement.

Hopefully we play a little bit faster, get a little bit faster, and it's partly on some of us, partly on me to get the ball out, push the pace, and yeah, unquote.

So Brad Stevens says you have to be able to score off movement.

We've had a tendency to be stagnant.

Hauser says we're going to play free-flowing.

Shireman, Pritchard both bring up movement.

This is not a coincidence.

This is not by mistake.

This is the message being sent to the basketball team from Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla.

The Celtics clearly, they clearly got tired of what I got tired of a few years ago.

And I know that it brought the Celtics a championship and thank goodness for that.
