Not only does Stevens have no NBA experience, he did well at a very small college and didn't have the pressure of heading a major program like. Better coaches have fared poorly in the NBA and I am feeling he willl be no different and seek a return to the college game in a few years.Boston has thrown in the towel. They have given up on even making the playoffs in next seasons. They will finish just above the Raptors or Wizards in the east.
You are just the definition of positive thinking aren't ya?
Nothing pleases you. What a joke
What a joke to fake not facing the reality. This will be what I am going to call the “New version of Pitino Model.” The fact that the Celtics are now in full rebuilding mode means the losses are going to pile up, which means Stevens will ultimately get fired before All Star game. Full rebuilding mode needs a experienced coach, not a kid with zero professional experience.
Yeah he was in a small school, but he also had a high win percentage. He also took that small school into the finals two years in a row and almost beat Duke. Once could be considered a fluke, but twice?
People, and when I say people I mean experts and other coach's, not bloggers, have said he runs a smart team. They play, both ends and execute.
Just because he came from a college doesn't mean auto fail. At some point some one will succeed. Could it be Steven? Maybe, maybe not.
But he wont be fired by the all star break. They have a realty that they might have a tough season. They are going to develop their young players this year, and then see what happens with the draft. They didn't fire Doc after a couple season, and he had NBA coaching experience, so I think the leeway for Stevens to get his footing will be a little more than a couple months to couple years. I say by season 4 if they aren't progressing and or players don't respond then it will be over with.
From the conference he seems to be ready for this,knowing whats in front of him and it wont be easy. I mean the guy was watching video this mourning! The ink isn't even dry yet. He seems to have the right attitude(unlike some people) knowing there will be bumps in the road, but will get better from it.
You call this guy a kid, and yet Red was 32 when he took over as coach. Plus a "Kid" can handle the learning curve better, not being stuck in his own ways, but willing to learn like he has said to make the team better.
Before I toss him under the bus, Im going to see what he can do first.
