I would not want to be Brad Stevens and have to be answering to this forum.
They love him, they hate him, his rotations suck, his rotations are great, etc.
The poor guy is under a microscope and is judged on every game.
Stevens has brought something new and refreshing to the C's organization and I think he deserves a little wiggle room before he is either stoned to death or lifted high on our shoulders!!!
I see some are already criticising Doc for his coaching but Doc's style was perfect for whom he was working with. Stevens would have been run out of here like the second coming of Rick Patino if Garnett and Pierce were still here. but Stevens is a perfect fit for this team and it looks like it took him all of four games to show these young guys what he wants and how to execute.
The only major problem I see in the future, and it's something I haven't seen discussed, is that Stevens gets so close to his players, on a personal level, that it will be very difficult for him to part with any of them.

TP i was kinda thinking the same thing yesterday with Stevens sucks, he isnt an NBA coach, rotations are awful......blah blah and now Stevens is legit, just what boston needed, he is a genius, awesome rotations, so on and son....... I think Brad is what the celtics needed and it may take a bit and may be bumpy but all i can say is im excited for the future

Stevens really has no control over that tho. Tha NBA is a business at tha end of tha day. Just look at tha Nets trade and tha releasing of Doc. No matter how close our coach gets with his players Danny still has a job to do and that's with any GM. As far as tha first half of your post, that's just CelticsBlog for ya. Tha fans here cheer when things are going right but boo and Trade Machine our team away when they aren't.

Green got praised for his second half of last season but got a deuce dropped on him for not balling out in preseason. Green has "no heart". Green doesn't have "it" or that "killer instinct" but he's amazing when he puts someone on a poster or have clutch moments like he did against tha Heat last Saturday or tha Cavs last season.

Rondo was consistently bashed last season up until he went down with a season ending injury. Why it took a season ending injury to finally get people to realize his worth is still beyond me considering how tha fans here know what Rondo is capable of. This team went downhill without their best ball handler and they missed a guy who could takeover games and put them over tha top. Doc got his share of bashing but still coached this team to tha playoffs no matter who went down or how many went down. Even Pierce of all people got bashed for his stretch of bad games until it came out he was bothered by an injury then later turned it around.

It's an ongoing trend on CB that will likely never die. It goes from one player (or coach) to another each season no matter how many posters, assists, clutch moments, or playoff appearances.

It almost seems like the team must play flawless every game and even then some posters are not happy.
I think it's called being spoiled and not wanted to accept the fact that a regime has come to an end. considering the way this team is playing right now, I'm jazzed. It's phenominal that a young team like this could come out of the gate so bad and turn it around the way they have.
Crawford, whom I despised before the season started, has gone from me, me, me to a very effecient point guard and has really surprised me.

[NocturnalRebel]

As well as I am. And yes Crawford is impressing right now. This team right now is playing good basketball. Tha ball is moving and they're running. Just overall good team basketball. Everyone is contributing.

Reminds me of last season when we were on a 6 game losing streak when Rondo was out then turned around and had a 6 game winning streak.
