Have you noticed some Celtics players getting better? That's Coach Stevens

[Eja117]

Avery Bradley?

Jae Crowder? Did anyone ever expect Jae Crowder to be a pretty decent NBA starter?

Evan Turner?

Sully?

James Young?

Kelly O?

Player development. In a young league where you never get a high draft pick and where free agents don't come to your city it's kinda key. Stevens gets this. Doc didn't.

Sully?

This one is hard to argue that he is better especially the cold streak he is on.  The other ones yes, but Sully's shooting has went down hill from last year.

Well, I won't knock Doc, but CBS is a GEM.

He is truly maximizing the solid talent we have on this team and is generating buzz around the league as an exceptional coach.

One day soon we'll have that "Star" - whether it's through the draft, FA or someone(s) on the current roster continue to bloom. When that happens we'll start sniffing contention.

That day is closer than it was 2 years ago.

Sully?

Well he's better than last year when he wasn't playing because he was too fat. Granted maybe it's more because it's a contract year, but still

Right now he's dealing with a wrist issue from what Gorman said. It's hurting to follow threw. I'm a bit surprised they don't shut him down for a week to let it heal if that's the issue. Or maybe thats not going to work.

7 12 vs above .500 teams. 1 5 vs championship contenders..

Some players have improved, yes that is true. Unless Ainge  finds a legit Defensive C, a power forward who can score in the paint and a true wing shooter, it's the same Ole same  vs legit playoff teams..

Agree that Stevens is doing a great job.

The Dig at Doc is ridiculous and completely without basis in reality.

Danny picked players with character.
No knuckleheads.

This is LIKELY NOT the team we will field in the playoffs (IF we get there and hopefully we will!!), but even if it is, there is ONLY one team that would or should dominate us in the East and that is Cleveland (if they remain relatively healthy).  I am NOT scared of ANYONE else.  I am not saying we would beat Toronto, Chicago, or Atlanta in a series, but I HIGHLY doubt that we would not win 1-3 games OR that we might have a chance for an upset!!

Stop with the doom and gloom baby!!  Nothing but positivity for 2016:-))))

Don't forget Isaiah Thomas.  I think Kelly is just starting to break out too.
