Following the Celtics embarrassing 121-99 loss to the Cavaliers on Sunday, coach Brad Stevens conceded this week that his team is “not really good yet,” per Scott Souza of GateHouse Media:
#Celtics Brad Stevens: There is not a lot of margin between being good and being really good. We’re not really good yet. But I think if we really hone in here we have a chance to play better.

#Celtics Brad Stevens: I’ve said all along that I don’t think we’re quite as good as our record. And I think we have to get a lot better. I still feel that way. After a tough week, sometimes it makes you take even more of a hard look at it.

Boston is currently second in the Eastern Conference with a 40-18 record.
