Stevens asked offensive/defensive systems, stresses pace, ball movement and floor-spacing with the ball.

Some actual insight --- #Celtics coach Brad Stevens: best team bonding exercise you can have is be tough defensively, want that as identity.

Stevens: "We've got to space the floor and play with pace" offensively. Gone are the days of one player dominating the ball, he hopes.

#Celtics coach Brad Stevens: Offensively, want to spread floor and move ball, will not be good taking shots at end of shot clock.

All good stuff from Coach Stevens. Just like he did at Butler, expect a lot of smaller lineups with skilled bigs playing in the high post and wings spreading the floor. We'll take a look at that later this week on CelticsBlog.com.
