He's good but brad Stevens is one hell of a coach. Made Isiah thomas played like an mvp. Great system they got going.

I'm still not counting out lebron. He goes super sayian come playoff time.

I mean I never liked Billy Donovan's offensive system. But this is on him and the players as well.

As Yogi Berra would say, it could get late early for this team.

I haven't seen other teams melt down like this, it's usually a Knicks thing.

Their games often end the way ours did last year. Down a few points, iso plays aren't scoring, the other team makes a few fast breaks in the last 2 minutes, and OKC loses just like we always did. We always did.

Now they always do, and tonight we enjoyed 12 minutes of garbage time.

True about LeBron - I can't understand why he's not as old as Melo is now.

Do you still hate Melo?

Dont get me wrong, I had my doubts acquiring Kyrie but that was mostly because I didnt want to KP in a deal and didnt feel this team wasnt properly constructed to compete with Kyrie/KP and the rest of the squad.

But many people were really doubting his skills as a ball player. His defense has improved alot and is not forcing up shots at all. Hes a top 10-15 player in this league.

Way to take away from Brad Stevens. The coach who's been doing it year after year.

Stevens deserves a ton of credit. But so does Kyrie. Hes committed on the defensive end and no one expected him to really lead this team to this type of record. Especially without Hayward.

Brad Stevens is an excellent regular season coach but leaves a lot to be desired in the post season.

For instance, last playoffs Stevens' celtics were getting throttled by the mediocre Rondo Bulls until rondo got injured lol. Brad stevens doesnt really win definitively in the playoffs, if he wins at all. Before he toppled the hawks the season before he was one of the losingest coaches in the playoffs of all time.

He's still young though and has never had an alpha dog scorer like Kyrie to rely upon, though. We'll see what he can do with it.

LOL. **** that ****

the thought of us being stuck with melo and kyrie while porzingis carries lebron to a championship might be the only thing more vomit inducing than imagining KP in a celtics uniform
