Interesting article from USA Today, thoughts about it?

Read that the other day, I do agree he is doing an amazing job. I dont think hes "killing the celtics" though. Even if we dont get our lottery pick, he's helping our players develop.

Whether that means they will be better players for us, or more appealing in a future trade is yet to be seen But all in all I believe its a good thing.

Also, I came into this season expecting to loose every game. At least I get to see some wins  /end selfishness

I'm very happy with coach Stevens so far, but surely the players themselves deserve some credit for the better than expected start. 

So far, it seems like the coach is getting all of it.

Of course they deserve credit, they're the ones actually playing the game. It's mainly because he's bringing out strengths in these players that most of them didn't know they had. Example: Crawford getting eastern conference player of the week.

Obviously, Crawford deserves that. He's the one that put up those stats. But with out Brad playing him as he is, that probably wouldn't have been the case.

I also think that it has a lot to do with other eastern teams, there's not much for them to talk about with Eastern Conf. because so many teams were hyped to be good while Boston was expecting the worst. When in reality its the opposite.

It's tough to trade even well-developed B+ players for an A+ player.

So is this Jr High School essay writer want to replace Brad Stevens with ML Carr?

Brad has made the best of a rotten situation. To walk in to.

In a very short time he has organized the odd collection of players into a respectable team able to compete most nights nearly as well as last years All Star equipped team .

Can you just imagine Jason Kidd taking this team over ......LOL.  ....well neither could DA.......that pick by the Nets was all about the "glamor" and no substance .   Typical big market  ideas of selling a product .
