Why Brad Stevens is the best Coach ever.

[KeonClark]

Somewhere in between the guys who think he can do no wrong and the guys who think he can do no right lies a good, hardworking, imperfect coach

[JimiCliff]

That's impossible lol.

You'll never be happy.

It's amazing how Casey apologists equate something like 'minimum expectation for an above average NBA head coach' with 'impossible'.

Casey haters can't see how anyone can point to Casey being an above average coach.

Your minimum expectation is irrelevant. Masai seems to think the opposite. But I guess he's just a Casey apologist as well.

It's amazing you still see us all the way down here, from your perch.

'Apologists' vs 'Haters'...

I guess the district of Derozan has a thriving economy so we needed a new war

My perch lol. Apparently asking an NBA coach to have one playoffs free of bad decisions before calling him 'above average' is a perch.

I'm sure the national media or local beat writers didn't question the genius Brad Stevens one bit that week he was down 0-2 to the Bulls. Or when they lost an ECF game by a historic margin by a 1 seed.

I dont get this idea that this forum has with the playoffs being easy. The only eastern conference team that hasn't struggled in the playoffs is one the with LBJ.

Playoffs aren't suppose to be easy. That's what happens when NBA players try on every possesion. They do not do that in the regular season.

Genius Brad Stevens gets a pass on the Boston series because his best player and only reliable scorer was injured and had just suffered a terrible death in the family. In the same way, Casey gets a pass on certain aspects of the Raptors' playoff hardships because Lowry's been injured.

But Casey's also had many specific strategy/rotations/play calls that were rightly criticized by many. If there's similar examples with Stevens, I'm all ears.

Ok what's the pass for being down to a 8 seed full players who didn't like each other?

Again, the biggest complaint of Casey is that he vigorously defended a system that was easy to stop in the playoffs which didn't put his stars in the best position to succeed, when like you said... NBA players try on every possession AND opposing coaches exploit your weaknesses. Don't have to listen to me on that point, it was Masai's complaint and I'm glad he had the cajones to go public with it. He should have listened to RR posters and done that 3-4 years ago, but whatever.

IT wasn't injured than and his sister was still alive during the first round.

You do know this offence will struggle too right? That we most likely go 5-7 games in every series right. Offensive system isn't what is keeping raps out of the finals it's talent.

Yeah, but our stars struggle worse than other stars. Like, historically worse. That's well documented and common knowledge. That's not putting your players in a position to succeed and that's why Masai mandated the change.

He'd been injured for a long time before and was playing through it, and yes, she died the day before the playoffs started.

Good to know that Stevens' pass checks out. Hopelly some day we can finally judge him on his playoffs performances and not just regular season success. It's a shame he is not held to same standard as Casey.
