If we somehow miss the playoffs- even then he wouldn't get fired. It would take missing the playoffs and then a bad first half to next season. Or something would have to come out that the team turned on him. Or he'd have to get arrested or something.

Brad get arrested? Bwahaha!

Brad has made chicken salad in the past, lets hope he can make some for this stretch run.

Fire Spoelstra too. Top 5 MVP candidate and their record sucks. Miami must be tuning him out. He must not have respect of players. He must be too soft. They should hire an ex-player ..... maybe Chris Bosh? Can’t blame everything on Kelly Olynyk now that he’s gone. There must be something wrong with Spoelstra.

BTW, Philly should fire Doc Rivers. Remember how he couldn’t win with Rondo, Pierce and Big Al in 2007?

I get fans want to keep Stevens as he's had a successful track record, but some people would just rather have a Rivers or a Spoelstra leading this team going forward. I like Stevens too, and I hope I'm wrong, but it seem this team is in need of a change in leadership. We'll just have to see how it plays out I guess.

That's assuming he hasn't had talent when he's had the talent for some time now.

This team doesn't have talent. Overachieved with IT, Crowder, Olynyk, Evan Turner etc and made it to ECF with rookie Tatum second year Brown with Kyrie and Hayward out. He's not the best coach, but his coaching has been a lot more impressive than Ainges GM work.

The team is in process of a 30 point second half turn around on the road against a team on a 17-3 winning streak. Yeah....Brad really looks like he lost the team!

Brad Stevens can't coach defense, holds 3rd best offensive team in the league to under 90 points.

After the great win against the Nuggets today, Brad Stevens needs an extension.

So the "Keep Brad" peeps are on fire right now with a win against a good team. Wait till we lose again against sub .500 / tanking teams. We'll be right back at ya.

Just like “Fire Brad” peeps after every loss.

Brad is still a top 5 coach in this league. Other really good coaches like Nurse, Spolestra, and Carlisle have had an off year because of the unique situation with lack of practice time.

Today's win was stunning. Let's hope the team performs to its capability more consistently going forward. In the end, that's what we all want right. However, to be fair, and if we look at it objectively, we all know that they haven't consistently played to their capability for some time now.

Stevens took Mike Malone's soul today.

It must have been heart breaking for some of the fans on here to watch.

Funny how when the team was losing it was the players fault and just as soon as the team wins a couple games Brad is awesome again?

Still not playing meaningful minutes to young guys who HAVE to develop.
Still not reigning in Kemba's awfulness

This is more on the players playing for each other than playing for the coach.

Overstated.

But Stevens did drastically outcoach Malone in one particular game, via a 4th-quarter adjustment to which Malone couldn't immediately find a response.

So I see you are doubling down. I guess when you put fire Ainge in your sig, you kind of have to stand by the idea that you just know better huh?

Also, he started Langford the other day and has been playing him. We are finally winning and your complaint is what? We arn't playing Langford and Nesmith? No one is saying Brad has done an awesome job this year. Get your head out of your butt. You guys are the ones saying fire him for losing and then when we win say he should have played the rookies. You're like an unknowing troll at this point.

That's not the word I want.

Someone help me out here. Unwitting? I'm not sure.

What I mean to say is that Jedi is trolling the board but he is unaware that he is doing it. So he's a ______ troll.
