Brad Stevens admits to an unusual love for video. The Celtics coach uses another phrase to describe the obsession.
“It’s part of the sick-mindedness of that, you enjoy watching that film over and over again,” he said of playoff coaching, and the opportunity to study one team.
“You might watch it two or three times, but eventually you’re seeing the same things over and over. You just go out and do something about it,” said Stevens.
Or you’re unable to solve the problem. That’s where the Celtics lie right now, trailing Cleveland 3-0 in their best-of-seven first-round NBA playoff series.
