Fire Brad Stevens.

[moonie_mcgee]

I'm not even clicking that.. Heavy is a trash tabloid site.

ITs about Danny on Toucher talking about Romeo telling brad to shut the f up at the end of the knicks game

Langford just became my favorite player. Buying his jersey next time he plays in 3 consecutive games without injury.

Lol 3 games. Good one.
More and more smoke.
If CBS is back next year
It's def gonna implode.

Thanks for posting that. I gotta read into Posey. 8 years is a long time. A lot of posters will disagree but how the Celts perform vs the Nets will say a lot about this coaching staff. We all know it's on the players to perform, but the LEVEL OF EFFORT should be seen as an indication of the coaching staff's ability to get the most out of the players.

We will see what happens. I don't think anyone expects us to beat the Nets and I agree, how we look in terms of energyu and mentality are really all you can judge the coach off of here.

We did look good against Washington. If we had come out with low energy and got killed then there might be something to this fire Brad talk. But we didn't we played well and won.

I think this board has a tendency to over value the young guys for their potential. So some scape goat is needed. This year it has been our 3 oldest guys Kemba, Brad and Smart.

For everytime things just magically come together and it all works out, there are many times where it doesn't. I'm not a HUGE Brad fan, but I think he is a top 10 coach and he is our guy. Our last coach bolted on us and I don't think he would- os that's something. So we should cut Brad some slack. It's the first time he didn't surpass expectations.

Imagine how this'll play with the players. He's the antithesis of Nate McMillan. I'd fire him on the spot if I heard that. This team will never Never NEVER win this moron. They probably went to 3 ECFs despite his incredible coaching prowes. Ainge should be fired for even sticking with him this long. Kyrie knew it right away and checked out asap.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Kyrie was a f’n idiot. His teammates in Boston couldn’t stand him, our than Mook and Smart.

He lead his Cavs to the lottery every year until Lebron came back to the Cavs. He sucked in Boston and got outplayed by George Hill in the playoffs vs the Bucks.

Nets were better without him last year.

Kyrie is example #1.
Ainge got us Kyrie.
Defend CBS til sunrise.
But he mismanaged it.

Kyrie is a bad example and one of Ainge’s mistakes. His teammates despised them and most of the coaching staff didn’t like him.

Blame Brad for everything and even make stuff up.

Bottom line is Brad was a top 5 coach in the league coming into this year. So was Nick Nurse. Toronto didn’t even make the playoffs. This is a fluke year.

If the Celtics are a .500 team next season too, both Brad and Danny need to be gone.

Bad example or not. Kyrie is an example.
He's a 50/40/90 player. Ainge got him here.
And Stevens COMPLETELY mismanaged the team.
So much so that both Kyrie AND Rozier wanted out.
Ainge realizing Brad's ability to manage NBA players led us to Walker, Thompson, Fournier to make it work.

[playa-hater]

anyone watching the Bucks vs Miami?? Bucks are so beatable.. I still can't believe Boston ended up in 7th place. we could have Beaten them.

50/40/90. Where was that player in the playoffs when he got outplayed by the Bucks back PG?

That joke of a player wanted out of Boston because his **** was getting old with his teammates and we wanted to go to nets with KD. But do ahead and blame that on Brad too.

ya out of the top 3 they're 3 IMHO.
Giannis as great as he is isn't the perimeter threat that others are.

Yeah I believe Brad injured 2 of his 3 best players for the rest of the regular season when the Cs were in the drivers seat for the 6 seed at worst before those 2 Miami games, what's wrong with him.

We sucked all year.. by unbelievable levels. One of the worst 4th quarter offenses.. no kind of defense, no offensive system. No accountability, and a coach with a revolving door on rotations.. I am sure I missed few. Team played with no fire most of the time..

Yeah you're right..nothing wrong with brad

Most of all, Brad Stevens coached a great game. Almost every offensive trip was a set play called by Stevens. The Celtics got a bunch of great shots, they just didn’t make them. On defense, Stevens was vocal and loud. He was calling out switches, switch-backs and scrambles on most trips. Without the mask (vaccinated coaches can coach without a mask now), it was clear to hear Stevens’ impact.

Well we didn't come out flat in game 1. Or the play in game. Grant and Semi didn't play. Your move haters...

Romey with the DNP-CD last night, in a game that saw Waters on the court.

[Ernest]

But really, the truth should come out in the offseason. If the team has turned on Brad- fine fire him. I just doubt that very much. I think it was just a bad luck year. We gave the keys to 2 kids, and they did pretty well individually but the team didn't do well.

Question: for the hard core fire Brad guys- are you locked in? Is there anything that would change your mind?

33 seconds of garbage time for Waters but not Clangford is worth remarking on ... why?????

As for Romeo not playing before garbage time -- Brad obviously chose to go with better offensive players, as per his decision to give significant minutes to Jabari.

so maybe if Grant and Semi didn't play so much during the regular season, we wouldn't be the 7th seed going against the Nets.

I've accepted that making the playoffs guarantees that Brad will be back. Obviously if we upset the Nets his legend would grow. If we win a game or two I'll be happy. Missing the playoffs would have invited a ton more criticism from the general public, and they just barely dodged that.

The crux is what's going on in the locker-rooms and on the practice court, and we're not privy to that. I agree that the truth should come out in the offseason. If Brad and/or the players and/or management were unhappy, I'd expect to start to hear rumors sometime before fall and we're not, yet. If there's no big behind-the-scenes issues then I'd expect management -- and eventually maybe at least some players -- to continue to publicly circle the wagons for Brad to sell the idea that this was an unlucky season more than a bad season.

To me, the main thing is what can Tatum and Brown learn from this guy. For all the conniptions we have about Semi/Grant/Tacko etc. minutes, none of that really matters. How he impacts our top guys does. And maybe he *has/is* laying the foundation for them to develop into lead guys on a championship contender, in which case great, let's keep him! Maybe they are ready for a new voice, in which case I'm ready yesterday. I often say it, but in this case it's essential: in Danny I trust. Hope he's reading this one correctly.

I think when you give the keys to 2 young guys and do not load up the bench with experience, your expectations have to be realistic, regardless of what the previous results were. Although I expected the team to do better, their ceiling for me was 2nd round playoff team, so given the injuries this year this is fairly predictable. This year was about Brown and Tatum getting better and learning to lead. I am concerned about the second part of that but again, very few young guys at their ages carry that torch without issues. These are the growing pains of building around two kids under 25. I will be far more critical next season as I expect Danny will have a more balanced and experienced roster for Brad, Tatum, and Brown to work with.

I agree with all of this until the end -- Danny surrounded the Jays with Walker, Smart, Fournier, Tristan Thompson, Theis, and even the corpse of Jeff Teague. That's a lot of 'experience' and ostensibly 'balance'. I don't expect him to do much going into next season other than add a 16th overall pick and maybe Yam Madar, Superstar -- AND to talk up the value of such mundane things as having Kemba healthier, a re-signed Fournier getting to go through training camp, and have Tristan be able to go through training camp healthy, because if you remember, he had a pulled hammy or something last November which kept him out of some of our training camp, I'm sure THAT'S why we struggled this season (hopefully you're picking up on the sarcasm from me here) and now we should be all set. Plus Grant Williams will have another year of NBA experience under his belt! Semi Ojeleye too! Season tickets on sale now! Buckle up!
