Brad Stevens: Brandon Bass 'helped get this thing going in the right direction'

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens has suggested that his League Pass viewing is often fueled by the former players that he's coached. And, considering the number of bodies that passed through Boston during Stevens' first two years in the NBA, there is no shortage of options.

With the Los Angeles Lakers set to visit TD Garden on Wednesday, Stevens said he often finds his late-night scans landing on the Lakers, in large part because of Brandon Bass, the veteran power forward who spent four seasons flying quietly below the radar in Boston but whom Stevens praised for helping Boston's rebuilding process gain immediate traction.
