After getting blown out in an elimination game and just rolling over I was too pissed off to go to sleep so I watched about an hour of postgame interviews. Granted it was just minutes after their season ended, but there was a lot of stuff bubbling to the surface. And as Felger said on 98.5 yesterday, I cannot wait for the inevitable Jackie MacMullan tell all story that will give us all the juicy details of what went on behind the scenes this year.

Brad Stevens

Brad took a lot of the blame for the way this season went, and rightfully so because at the end of the day the coach’s job is to manage the players. Whether Brad is up for that task remains to be seen, but he seemed to empathize with his young lottery picks having to adapt to a lot.

“I always reference Jayson and Jaylen, I can’t imagine handling what they have to handle at 20 and 22. I cant fathom it. I would have cracked a long, long time ago.”

Certainly sounds like Brad Stevens subtweeting Kyrie here. #Boston #Celtics #CelticsTwitter #NBA

Jaylen Brown

Jaylen is routinely the most outspoken, or at least up front, Celtics player and he was no different after last night’s game all but calling out Kyrie. While thats not great for building a relationship I don’t blame him at all; Kyrie openly dumped on the young guys all year long so Jaylen would often snipe back through the media.

Some really interesting postgame quotes from Jaylen Brown in particular tonight. #Celtics #CelticsTwitter

“I know I got a lot to learn, but we got older guys on this team and I think they’ll say the same thing. They got a lot to learn too.” #Celtics #CelticsTwitter

“I tried to do the best I could with the cards I was dealt. I tried to be mature about the process and handle it the best I could.” #Celtics #CelticsTwitter

Terry Rozier

Scary Terry had quite the fall from where he was a year ago going from playoff hero to bench mob. While I don’t know if Rozier is truly the franchise point guard he probably believes he is, it’s hard to blame him for being bitter. Doesn’t sound too optimistic about his future in green though.

Terry Rozier also had some thinly veiled comments after the game. #Celtics #CelticsvsBucks

“Definitely didn’t go the way we all wanted. I just thank god for my family and my boys back at the crib that kept me level headed all year because I’ve been dealing with some bullshit”

Reporter: Whats your general thoughts on the #Celtics, they got restricted free agent status so they can match?

“No comment.”

“Different guys want to be in the limelight, guys already in the limelight. Shit like that.” #Celtics #CelticsTwitter #CelticsvsBucks

Marcus Smart

Smart on the other hand came out and strongly defended Kyrie Irving so its not like everyone was ripping Uncle Drew.

Marcus Smart on the notion that Kyrie Irving’s leadership ruined the Celtics: “Bullshit. That’s bullshit.” pic.twitter.com/xWPKIxp2Bw

He also seems like he wants to play the role of peacekeeper, which is what a LEADER does. Might be too little too late though in terms of Kyrie.

Marcus Smart on whether he wants to play a big role with team going forward with offseason workouts etc.: “Definitely. The personality that I have to bring people together is something that’s special…These are my brothers…Just want to try to make sure we get on track early.”

Kyrie Irving

Oh he’s already on vacation so we may never see him in green again.

Celtics players at the Auerbach Center today for exit interviews. Players have option of meeting with media after.

Players you won’t hear from: Kyrie Irving, Marcus Morris, and Al Horford, who team PR say have already departed.
