Just really really dumb

the way this team always gets destroyed in the 4th is totally on him. How many times must this happen before he does something different, or get these team to hold the lead in the 4th.

Its ridiculous. Im sure any other coach in the entire league would not allow this type of stuff to happen.

I don't like losing the lead late in the game either but he deserves credit for being competitive with a less talented roster.  It really is a team of misfit toys.

I still say it's lack of talent. They overachieve for 3 quarters by pushing the pace and then run out of gas and talent wins out.

Luckily Jeff Green got away with an obvious travel or else this could have gone the Wizards way.

He figured nothing out. They could have lost.

The collapses continue...

Jeff Green traveled, Wiz should have had ball with 35 seconds left. One point game. At that point im going with the Wizards. Very fortunate refs screwed it up.

Stevens and Ainge are advanced analytics guys

They know the secret for playing well and still getting a good pick

Just wait till we have a legit playoff squad

I like coach Stevens, and you have to realise that we are a team without a rim protector of any kind, our best center is Zeller

I think we've overarchived for the most part this season.  I do agree that his decisions are sometimes questionable but I'm glad we got the win.  Sitting out Rondo in the 4th quarter could've been a colossal mistake.

I think he's over thinking the substitution pattern. He's subbing guys in and out, hard to maintain a rhythm down the stretch.

I'd say the fact the C's don't have a 'closer' who they can rely on to get their own shot at the end of the game is something the coach has no control over. That is a talent issue.

NBA games invariably tighten up in the 4th, teams typically lock in on defense more, and in the half court you need a go-to scorer.

Finally some sanity in the world of "sky is falling".

Stevens doesn't have the horses right now.  Helluva win today, though.

1.  Stop making excuses about the roster.  It's not great talent but it's better than a 25 win team.

2.  Players have to make plays.  A coach can't do anything about that.

3.  Stevens is not dumb.  He does seem stubborn at recognizing when ideas that work in theory don't work in reality.
