Brad Stevens has done a horrible job so far this year. He has had plenty of credit over the years and rightfully so but how many more games like this before he starts getting called out? No excuse there is too much talent to be getting spanked by a lottery team and possibly their 3rd loss in a row.
You'll be waiting a long time. Stevens can do no wrong on this site.
I dunno, he's been copping lots of flak (for good reason) as of late. Not sure what you've been seeing, but his rotations, timeout timing, and seeming lack of ability to motivate players has all been talked about
I'm really only here for the game threads anymore due to being busy at work, but I surely don't see much deserved criticism for Brad in those. In fact, I usually get scolded for bringing up any type of criticism about his in-game decision-making.
But good if people here are starting to hold him accountable and not blindly exalting him as the messiah anymore. He's a good coach, but I think at this point he's overrated, as he is just not that great at in-game/on the fly decision-making, which really hampers all that you said (rotations, timeout calling, etc.). And now add motivating players to the list.
