Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens spoke Tuesday as the Celtics begin their playoff preparations.

BOSTON — When Brad Stevens assembled this team, he said he didn’t know what to expect. “I think first of all, you can never expect that you’re gonna be a 64-win team,” Stevens said Tuesday. “That’s a really hard threshold to meet no matter how good you are. No matter how organized you are from a coaching standpoint. No matter how many options you have from a playing standpoint. That’s just a hard thing to do. I don’t know if that was my expectation.

All that came into play was, what kind of a teammate am I being and can I help us win?” Stevens praised Holiday’s versatility and willingness to reshape his role regularly. After running point for most of his time in Milwaukee, he has primarily been an off-ball guard who only serves as the primary initiator on occasion. Since Boston has to cover guards most nights, Holiday has had a more ambiguous role in the defense, guarding wings and bigs nightly.
