Brad cussed the team out pretty good : )

[sed522002]

I don't know why that makes me smile..lol. Our coach is growing up 

"I never heard Brad really curse, and he cursed us out pretty good," said Turner. "I don’t know who came in our locker room, but he came in and started screaming. I jumped. We needed to get it under wraps.

"I knew he was pretty upset. I heard we have no food on the plane [to Indianapolis for Saturday's game], so I’m pretty sure at halftime he called for no food. Hopefully we don’t have to get him that mad again."

That's hilarious. I'm having trouble imagining it. I've always thought Stevens was about as scary and intimidating as Fred Rogers.

Phil Pressey won the game, not Brad's cursing.

There was a video snippet of Brad leaving at halftime with a major scowl on his face. It was out of character but looked genuine.  Agree, great to see some passion out of this guy once in a while.

Ok? Who said it did? Just thought it was funny coming from our golly gee wiz coach.

Edit: Oh, I see it was in the title of the article.

As the roster stabilizes and the team gets closer to the playoffs, he's getting more and more animated out there.  I think he really, really wants the playoffs.  Good for him, it'd be an impressive accomplishment.

I was getting ready to say the same thing. He seems to be much more vocal and emotional lately, which seems to suggest he really feels like we have a chance at the playoffs.

I love it! The man's on a mission! I'd imagine the fact that he yells so rarely really made tonight an invigorating action. I almost made a thread like this the other day when I saw Stevens drop the F-bomb to a ref. Go Celtics!

Who do you think is ordering all those flagrants?  He's like Verbal Kint

I like this approach to coaching. If a coach just goes nuts all the time the players will start to tune it out. Save the rants and raves for when they're really needed and they will have more impact.

Does this mean us international fans can forget about Brad Stevens miked up for NBA sounds of the game. Doc Rivers was (and still is) a regular on that segment.

I wish I saw the response of the locker room or reactions.

"@#$%!!!!!!"

Evan Turner jumps in surprise.

"If you guys screw this up... No SOUP for YOU!!"

Brad Stevens is slowly turning into Pops from the Spurs.

He needs to seriously work on his interviews, for example :

- Good evening coach, may I ask you 2 questions?
   Hello, sure, go ahead.
- You have a serious opponent tonight. Are your players ready for the challenge?
   Yes, they are... blank
- Good, Memphis has a much bigger front court, I'm assuming you have a game plan in mind?
   Yes, we do... blank
- Could you elaborate?
   Sorry, you said 2 questions.
- Yes you are right, thank you mister Stevens.
   You are welcome.
