One of the things that bugs me is that the Stevens and the C's don't seem to have any last second full court plays ready to go. We have how they just ended game 4, and the same thing in the Game 1 overtime loss, and any other time where the team needed to go the length of the court with minimal time on the clock. The plan just seems to be throw it down court and pray (while Kemba always calls for the ball 80 feet from the hoop) and it never turns out good.
I guess this isn't Stevens/Celtics specific, because it doesn't seem like any other NBA teams have any of these type of plays ready to go either. Always bugs me though, always makes me wonder why. Every year in the NCAA tourney there's usually some miracle buzzer beater, and when they interview the coach/player after the game it's always "we practiced that play all year just in case we were ever in this situation."
Maybe it's because the NBA is too easy to scout (run it once, and the other team will have it in their scouting report for years), along with player movement (Crowder and Olynyk would be familiar with any Stevens plays), and lack of viable options in that scenario (as there's only so many ways to pull off a length of the court catch and shoot), but I still feel like having 2-3 practiced plays in your back pocket would be worth it for when you have no time outs and need to go the length of the court. The players never seem in sync in those moments.
