Bud literally outcoached Steven's so badly, it's like he did it with his eyes closed.
More like the bucks are much better. But okay.
Stevens roster management was exposed this year. These guys walked all over him.
Or they wer never that good and never fit properly.
They only didn't fit properly due to p--- poor talent management and coaching. The stylistic fit is there and capable of working; it's the personality and character fit that was suspect, which is something that can be managed by effective coaching and leadership. Brad Stevens single greatest mistake is not defining the roles early on, which has just allowed the chemistry issues to fester and exacerbate all season long.
Show me the complementary players that know their role. Show me the specialist that can really really shoot. The fit of these players is awful.
THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR ROLE BECAUSE THE COACH NEVER DEFINED THEM EARLY ON! That's the entire problem, and that's why you had the young/old dichotomy in the locker room early on.
The level of talent is absolutely there, and while not an absolutely perfect fit, their talents are complementary enough to work well together. The talent has just been completely mismanaged and in a p--- poor offensive philosophy, which has served as a barrier to these guys meshing.
Buddy, the coach doesn’t define their roles. The players given their skillset do. Great teams happen organically.
Lol that's why Giannis and the Bucks were so good last year with Kidd and Prundy. Just a coincidence that a coach of the year comes in and they maximize the talent they have and become the best team in the NBA. 
To be fair, adding Lopez and a few other players certainly didn't hurt, but the biggest difference in that team is much better coaching and leadership and a much better offensive philosophy.
My point is simple; there was a Grand Canyon type gap between these two teams. That’s no coaching.
As for kid, I’m not saying there aren’t some terrible coaches out there. Just that Brad isn’t one of them. And giannis was half the player he is now when Kidd was there. He’s now among the best in the world. So it’s certainly not coaching that’s making them great.
But my original point stands. If the coach has to tell the players their role, we’re in trouble.
