One of the brightest young minds in the game.  Took a team with a 5'9" star and a bunch of role players to the eastern conference finals.

But I guess fans around here would rather have Tyron Lue or mike brown coaching this team.  Smh.

Glad to see something like this after reading that "Embarrassment" thread. TP.

Would rather nobody coaching the Celts but Brad (and Pop  ;) )

He brought us to the #1 seed in the East. Gave us one heck of a season.

I'm proud of these guys.  I felt making it this far was a successful season and each year they have improved and accomplished a goal.  Anything else really just would have been icing.  Weird seeing old friends Tyronn Lue and Posey on the other side.  They are missed but have grown themselves.

Everything else has already been said.  Brad Stevens is still one of the best young minds in the game.

The best and most underrated coach in the NBA. I can't wait to see what Stevens does with more scorers next season.

Based on the talent on the roster, this team had no business being one of the last four left.  Props to them for overachieving, and props to Stevens for helping to make it happen. 

This was a fun year, and we have a lot of reasons for optimism.  The future is bright.

i am not even worried about winning a ECF series. i just want sound smart play if we lose. we did not get that in 3 home games and so far up to this point i am a huge CBS fan and have had nothing but praise for him but he needs to learn to change philosophies and make adjustments

Reiterating the above -- Good young coach with a bright future, played a large role in another great/overachieving season.  It'll be fun to see what he can do with potential FAs and incoming youth.
