Give Brad Stevens some Love?

Since the Celtics have won 6 in a row I think we should give Brad some love.   

Whenever the Celtics lose a few in a row, Brad gets a lot of heat from some Celtic fans, so I think it is only fair to give him at least some credit for coaching the team to the last 6 Ws.

Crazy that in the streak the C's have had to come from behind in 5 of the games I believe, but somehow they have overcome the deficits to pull out victories.

Hope the Celtics keep up the good play and finish 4th in the East.

He definitely does deserve some credit. I also think Ainge has put him in a position to succeed more.

Still wary of how he'll manage rotations and our offence in the playoffs, but he's done well recently

He definitely deserves some credit. And I’m glad he has the team attacking more and the hierarchy is clearer: it’s Tatum’s team. It seems like there’s a conscious effort to get Tatum going and as a result, Tatum’s been passing more too (maybe because he knows people are looking to give it back to him)

Granted, Tatum’s generally been taking the most shots the whole year anyway but it might be different when it’s clear vs when people are “feeling it out”. Prior to Kemba’s clutch shot vs GSW, I’m glad he was looking to get it to Tatum and when it wasn’t there, that’s when he took his shot (better that he made it too! Lol).

 No. He deserves no credit.  Underachieving  all year.

 Danny gets q little though.  He done nothing at the deadline since IT4. That's absolutely pathetic.

The bolded is the main reason for my reluctance to give him too much credit right now.

Yeah, it's definitely a matter of wait and see. A good 15 games doesn't outweigh the last few seasons where he's made mistakes in this regard.

 College Brad has proven he can overachieve with system guys. We need a Lion. I want Doc back. Brad and two second rounders plus Carsen Edward's for Doc.

Why do you want a choke artist coach?

TP. CBS deserves a lot of credit for keeping the players on a relatively even keel. The uncertainty he's had to manage is unbelievable and the roster he was given was flawed from the start.

Been doing that since day 1!
He finally has more than 4-5 strong players now.
Definitely more than last year.

I hope we get Atlanta or Knicks in the R1 and Philly in R2.

Can we get prime KG, Pierce and Allen to walk back through that door too? Because otherwise, what has Doc done that Brad hasn't?
