Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens didn’t want to talk silver linings.

But when the second of three questions to open Stevens’ postgame news conference focused on the 19-year-old rookie (James Young) and whether a 13-point performance could impact his spot in the rotation moving forward, Stevens had more pressing topics on his mind.

“I don’t know. I don’t know. I’ve got to figure out how to coach this team better,” Stevens answered. “I’m not doing a very good job. We’re not playing well, and we’re playing almost — it’s not good basketball. We’ve got to do a better job playing good basketball. I’ll figure out the rotations later, once we start playing good basketball and once we all are very focused on very good basketball. And that’s on me. I’ve got to do a better job.”
