Brad

[timpiker]

As I've been watching the No Names play game after game after game with intelligence, hustle and all sorts of skills, it occurred to me again - THANK GOD FOR BRAD STEVENS.

Way back when for many years I thought Red was the best GM.  Especially after the ways he acquired Parish, McHale and Bird.  Then, over the years I realized that sometimes Red made mistakes.

Then, along comes Danny and I thought he was the best ever.  Even better than Red.

Now, today, I think it's Brad without a doubt.  I love this team.  Brad was a very good coach, but when he took over for Danny, it just proved that God is a Celtic fan.

Brad has been awesome but I'm not sure he is better than Ainge.  Danny got us the 2008 ring and than set up 2024 by making moves to get Tatum and Brown - neither of which were the obvious choice. And we've only missed the playoffs once since 2008.  We've been blessed with two strong executives.

Both Danny and Brad were / are brilliant executives.  Both could have multiple titles under their belts with a little less bad luck with injuries.

Titles are what bring recognition, but I think that our front office is the envy of every ownership group in the NBA right now.  I don't think that there's a fan or analyst out there that thought it was possible for the Celtics to both get below the luxury tax and contend for the Finals this season.  Brad had to let go of two starters and two rotation players, and somehow got this team better set up to win a title in the near future than if we'd just brought back last year's team.

And without taking on any bad contracts or trading any first round picks.
