In brief

New Beginning Metaphor
Brad Stevens compares the Celtics' season to a fresh start on a refinished court.
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end”
Season Launch
Stevens introduced Paul George and Mike Conley at yesterday's season launch.
“We had our season launch yesterday, and at that I had one picture behind me while I was speaking and it was of the court being refurbished”
Refurbished Court
The court is refinished every year around July's end for a fresh start.
“That happens every year right around the end of July”
New Chapter
Stevens says the team writes its own chapter on the refinished court.
“Every single year you go through it looks like a blank canvas of the court being absolutely redone”
Jaylen Brown Trade
The Jaylen Brown trade is complete and finalized.
“The Jaylen Brown trade is done and gone”
Team Identity
Stevens says this is a new team with fresh opportunities.
“It's a new team, every team's got its own opportunity to write its own chapter”
Shakespearean Challenge
The Celtics need Shakespeare-level storytelling to be great.
“This chapter of Boston Celtics basketball will require some Williams Shakespeare-level prose to make this chapter worth the read”
Greatness Potential
The Celtics have a chance to be among the East's best teams.
“This Celtics team does have a chance to be great”
Refinished Team
Stevens' team is more like a refinished than a new team.
“He didn't construct this year's team as much as he refinished last year's”
New Floor Challenge
The team must write its new chapter on the refinished court.
“This year's team will stake its claim to that new floor, writing its new chapter”
Paul George's View
Paul George says he can keep the team in contention.
“I think they're getting someone that's ready to not fill the shoes or fill the void of JB”
The headline
Brad Stevens says the Boston Celtics' new team will write its own chapter on the refinished court after the Jaylen Brown trade.
