Pop even admit that he stole a few plays from Brad. This coach is the real deal.
Is this right??

Great video! Stevens is absolutely doing a great job for the Celtics. I am impressed with what he has done so far from season 1 to his 2nd season. With the constant gutting of the team, losing the best players in Rondo and Green, he remains focused and got us in the 7th spot in the East. Simply amazing.
I'm so happy that the Celtics are actually relevant even though they have a pretty incomplete roster. This is how rebuilding should be done. Good job Ainge and most of all Stevens!
Let's go Celtics!
Yaknow WhatIming grats on developing 0 talent before lebronn took u back and had to change half the roster to make kyrie play in the playoffs. we will do it our way thx.
Piotr Kenter your way gets your ass handled by warriors lol
MBogdos96 I'm a diehard Boston fan and watching Ainge, Stevens, and watching the organization battle with the Cavs was a lot of fun. Despite getting swept, (I was in the balcony for Game 4 in Boston and watched Kevin Love run to the locker room when his shoulder popped out) every game was extremely competitive and 3 of the 4 losses were by single digits. The East was very weak this past season, but I think with some strong offseason signings the C's will have no trouble finishing top 5 this year. Like you said....LET'S GO CELTICS!
RamsSoccer17
How true your words were my friend! :D
Even more truer now. Hope next year or so on we can win our 18.
Coach you should've broken down their defense too. I've seen them execute double teams to perfection multiple times
FINALLY! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A CELTIC BREAKDOWN FOR TWO YEARS. I THANK BRAD STEVENS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT LONGER
#celtic
I have been very impressed with Brad Stevens coaching through out the year. I'm glad coach you breakdown Stevens out of bounds plays, because I noticed that the most, his timeout situations were excellent.
I'm glad this video went up, after going to Butler when Brad Stevens was there and seeing how he worked I knew he was going to do well in the NBA, and the sky is the limit with him everytime no matter what the roster, and he tends to be ignored because he doesn't have all-stars in his team. Thanks for being one of the few people who actually appreciate his greatness and intelligence!
It's refreshing to see a team (through the coach) advisor l actually run plays to win games, rather than just isolating their best player and hoping they can score in a one-on-one situation. Kudos to coach Stevens
if brad stevens is this good with a decent-but-not-good team, I can't imagine how good the c's might get once he gets a good-and-deep team.
It'll be very fun to see
ReCharredSigh That is always the challenge when he has to deal with multiple egos. But the good with thing the setup he has is if Ainge gets the right young franchise building talent, they grow up with Stevens who seems to communicate well with young guys. With that said I don't think Stevens will be handling big egos who want to run the team that were not developed within the franchise.
BludAardvark quite true; very different if say the leader on a loaded team has the low drama and coachability of a tim duncan-type personality. whereas if the leader draws drama to himself like lebron or has the hardheadedness of a kobe, it might not work out.
but then again david blatt's doing well on the cavs now despite lebron making espn newslines everyday, so i feel it's a bit shortsighted to pencil stevens as a guy who can't handle egos or turmoil; remember that the celtics seemed like a revolving door of players this season (injuries and players getting traded) amidst all the losses they piled up, and stevens remained even-keel, never getting emotionally spent; the players gravitated towards that, and that's always a good sign.
ReCharredSigh Well the team's not very good remember they are in the east too.
ReCharredSigh fast forward nigga 2017 ....... and he screaming 15-0
that skip pass from out of bounds is insane. they've drafted quite well. losing sullinger but gaining horford I think will be good but I hope it doesn't upset the balance. one of the strengths of the C's of that everyone has a role.
Coach of the year in my opinion
No doubt!
well damn that was a good video, maybe coach of the year for Kerr or Budenholzer isnt a lock after all
TheVictoryHawk it's not going to be Stevens lol...he'll prob win in the future..but you gotta give it to either Kerr or Bud since their teams won 60 or more games
Jebuiz y'har You're probably right but if you actually look at it Brad has a legitimate case. Kerr did a great job but their team is loaded with talent. It's really between Budenholzer and Stevens. Bud gets more wins and had a great season so I think he should win it but Stevens took a team that was supposed to be arguably the worst team in the league to almost a .500 record. Also looking after the allstar break the Celtics have a top 5 record if I'm not mistaken. It's not unheard of for a coach like Brad to win the award either. Doc Rivers only time winning coach of the year was when he coached his Magic to a 41-41 record when they were projected to be one of the worst teams in the league.
TheVictoryHawk nah its going to be Kerr with the best record in the league right now
TheVictoryHawk Yo, either two will get it and they will deserve it. But as a Celtics fan I'm damn glad the team has a budding great coach who can get the most out of his future young and potentially championship proven core. While other teams will overpay washed up has beens or unproven young coaching minds, Brad Stevens is going to be part of the Celtics for a long time.
TheVictoryHawk He will likely get his another time but you cant win it coaching a team that is under. 500
Brad Stevens is a great coach. He took Butler to 2 straight championships, and has transitioned well this season into the NBA. Will definitely root for him and the Celtics.
Anyone else come to see this version after seeing today's Brad Stevens Advantage video? Dude's fucking incredible
This is the hallmark of good coaching. When you get a group of people who may not be high caliber players but playing at a high caliber level in a harmonious fashion. Some coaches live off the talent they have in their roster. And try as the Celtics may lose, good coaching just keeps them in deep games. Nothing against some Eastern teams in disarray this year like Charlotte, Brooklyn, New York and Miami. But the C's practically got the 7th seed in the east with no star players and half a roster that was suppose to disappear a year or two from now. This was suppose to be yet another development year for the C's but other teams just wanted to tank harder and maybe just didn't have the right kind of players or coach for their team. Good stuff for Brad Stevens. Best Celtics pickup in a long while.
I enjoy watching your videos more than the actual live games.
Haha, you do? Thanks!
Bradley has always been clutch, i remember watching you breakdowns on heat vs Celtics, and the 4thQ was often Bradley time, like in 2013 when he went into full on beast mode vs The Knicks in game 6 #RIPubuntu
I can't even remember that these days...
Walter White You're a Celt's fan Mr. White?
That Dude Najarian yes, but i always wanted to own the New Mexico Blues
Walter White Thats pretty awesome! Send a letter to Silver and some of that blue sky, maybe that'll convince him to make the team.
great video! i honestly do not watch the celtics that much but i always hear about them and this explains their success throughout the season without having the best roster.
With all the young guys and great coaching, this team will be real again in 2-3 years.
i remember being frustrated when stevens got hired as coach, boy has he proved me wrong. What a great story for this team!
That team picture reminded me that Gerald Wallace is still on the roster lol
Bill Simmons keeps raving about this guy but now I see why
Damn Celtics got my raptors TWICE on last second plays
You own the raptors?
celtics owns the raptors
Justin Li killem
Wow, finally a breakdown of plays! I missed these! Thanks coach.
Don't sleep on my Celtics, y'all.
BeatsbyZay You own the celtics?
BeatsbyZay isaiah thomas is showing why he should have never been the 60th pick. in years to come i think thomas,smart, and young will form their big three!!!
Cedric Tausinga Thomas is best in the bench. He's not meant to be a starter as you lose options defensively. As long as James Young develops and Marcus Smart proves himself I'm happy for that.
thats true!!
Just because he's on the bench doesn't mean he doesn't make a big impact, I'm a huge fan of the Celtics and if they can lure in k love or another proven veteran they could be contenders
Coach Pop even admits he took some out of bounds plays from coach Duda Ivkovic. He steals everything! :D
This topic needs to be revisited - how the C's continue to win despite missing star players at different times (Hayward, Irving & Horford). Sure they haven't beaten anyone notable (except OKC, Spurs without Leonard), but it is still impressive that they are doing this with largely a different roster than last season. Stevens for COTY!
Awesome video Coach! I love Stevens just for what he did with Butler and now with my Cs! #WearegoingtowaragainstLB23
When I heard the Celtics clinched 7th seed, I couldn't even name one player on the roster. This coach is amazing.
I've rly liked Brad Stevens ever since the final 4 run when he was at butler
As a Laker fan, this hurts because this is exactly ehat I would like to see Lakers do in the rebuilding years - have a good young coach, have good, young rotation players that buy into the system and win games they shouldn't on paper, waiting for the reputation to pay off with getting a free agent or making a trade with their 100 draft picks. Danny Ainge really knows what he is doing
+Kamal Al-Dheeb Not with Jerry Buss's idiot children n Mitch cupcake running your organization lol Culture starts from the top.
This is proof that a crap team with a great coach can perform better than a great team with a crap coach (Thunder)
I like your conversations.
FINALLY SOME CELTICS! MORE CELTICS! thank you
Thank you! Things are looking up!
Coach you have never mentioned Jonas Jerebko, he is a candidate for most improved player and maybe a 6th man.
In pistons he scored 5 points a game but in Celtics he scored 20!
celtics continue to be one of my favorite teams in the nba
can't wait for the season
Wow, two years later he has an even bigger advantage.
On Jae Crowder's game winning 3, Zeller was actually wide open on a cut to the basket
Stevens is one hell of a coach ain't he?
Very good analysis!
i knew Brad Stevens was good but my GOD! he's one of the best coaches in the league...easily top 5
Brad Stevens for president!!!
Now the next step is to get better players. Ainge said Love was a priority this summer and we got a bunch of draft picks and a incredibly tasty expiring contract in Wallace to make trades! And it's not like the C's don't have good young players anyway, so everything from now is a plus!
The Celtics have a very good young roster with Smart, Zeller, Crowder, and Sullinger. Most people forgot about James Young from Kentucky who was a 1st round pick last year and has lots of potential to be a very good player
Coach k successor for team USA. Time to go young once he hangs it up. Brad is that dude.
Yes, for sure!
Great video!
Great video. I'm not a Boston fan but I really like their coach.
Thanks. I'm the same way, I'm a big fan of Coach Stevens.
Brad Stevens is a freaking basketball genius
Also, forgot to add, can you do a defensive analysis on the Celtics. I think after the all-star break, the Celtics improved on their defense and we do not have a legit rim protector. It would be interesting in seeing how or what Stevens did to improve our defense.
Thanks in advance!
Really well made video. Great video selection! #ImIn
Dont forget Bradley leading the team like a veteran even doe he is 25 i think
Brad Stevens is god
Tiffany Hwang Brad Stevens is life.
and has fan girls apparently
Anime hentia
No, he's not "god", he's just some white guy in a suit.
Danny Ainge is one of the best GM's in the game right now. I believe they had something like 16 possible picks in this years draft...thats freaking nuts!
Plague Doc the draft is a gift and a curse sometimes. I think Ainge tries to work his magic deals again in draft day and try climb up if he can. Doesn't help too if the draft isnt deep.
BludAardvark Well its a hell of a way to get a hold on youngsters. And alot of teams would value going down maybe 5 picks to get two picks in that range. Ainge can pull some big time stuff this summer.
Thanks for highlighting this coach. It will be interesting to see if he ends up being ranked as one of the top coaches in the near future. What do you think of Derek Fisher as a head coach?
Are you going to do top 10 horns plays of the season?
Brad Stevens will be the longest tenured coach in Celtics history.
Brad Stevens used to be a college coach, so he's used to training and helping young players.
Beautiful beautiful video.
Great video. I think Brad Steven is the second best coach besides pop.
Finally some Celtics love!
a vedio that is being proved incredibly correct after this playoff
Even in NBA 2K15 you can get easy points in baseline out of bounds plays ! Free points just like in NBA. I guess concentration of the defense decreases in out of bounds plays, that's why it is relatively easier to score. Also it's like a guy coming out of screen in a set play, one pass, one shot, score. Easy.
Yes!
after-TO / SOB plays are really crucial for any good nba coach because usually you can't playcall out loud too often as you're walking the ball up, or defenses will hear the play and know how to defend it later in the game, no matter how brilliant the play. however, after-TO / SOB plays give you a chance to draw up any play you want without the defense hearing it (they can only guess based on your initial formation).
can you make a video about your playoffs prediction?
As a Raptors fan, I am upset about this. But definitely agreed Brad is a good coach! Respect!
Thanks
Rebuilding done right, in a few seasons they'll be top 3 in the east.
VaultEscapist98 good coaching can only go so much. If Brad Stevens was in the West, you can see the good coaching but damn the top 8 teams are killers.
brad stevens will have this team in the finals 2-3 years max
The LeBron James Advantage for the Cavaliers
Aaron Smith * Kendrick "9-steps" Perkins
+ReCharredSigh He's a shaqtin legend!
Another great breakdown! Quick question, Coach: How many games do you think the Celtics take the Cavs to?
7
7
2
As in 2 wins.
Wow you guys really? I'll give it the benefit of the doubt with 5 but 7?
BRAD STEVENS IS OUR MVP! #Celtics
I have no doubt that next season we will be back with a vengeance
Need a breakdown on how the Jazz went from one of the worst defenses in the League to one of the best.
How's his defensive coaching though?
All be it I wasn't watching the Celtics earlier in the season while Rajon Rondo was still playing for them, were the celtics still doing baseline out of bounds plays just as well? If not better?
So coach what do you think Celtics vs Cavs series going to be like?
I'm sorry but I had to say this because nobody seems to say it. Brad Steven looks really good. No homo.
Coach the link for draftkings is not working for me
It was for tonight's games, so if u click on it now, you will have missed all the games..
Go Celtics.
The celtics are going to shock the world
Coach, why are the Blazers in the 4th seed while the Rockets and Grizzlies both have a better record?
The blazers won they're division so they're guaranteed 4th seed or higher
KirPikaTendo Ooooh, that explains a lot, that's why teams find it so important to win their division. I never knew why, thanks!
Jay Jay they won their division
The same question I wanted to ask ! Even though they won their division , shouldn't it be decisive when two or more teams have a tie ? Cuz it is meaningless to be ahead of a team which won 3 more games than you .
KirPikaTendo Toronto won their division too , but they are behind the bulls , which is second in central division . Could you explain why ?
"isaiah thomas vs kyrie irving part III" coach? lol
coach you sound sick
Why does no NBA team take a chance at hiring coach Nick as a assistant coach?
3 years ago lol. Wow
It's a pity Boston had to go against the Cavs first round. If they went against Washington or Toronto I wouldn't be surprised if they took it to 7 games or even win the series.
COACH OF THE YEAR 15-16
Brad gets credit for a shot Crouder hits with two people in face lol
You know this guy is the truth because he saw in bead Stevens what we saw a year or two later
Monty Williams brad Stevens mike bud Greg popovich and Steve Kerr best coaches in the league this season and people who say no to pop he has kept a team that has won everything to win motivated
adam riordan Monty Williams??? He's about to fired for being a horrible coach lmao
adam riordan switch monty with rick carlisle lol
I feel month is a great coach he's gonna lead that team to a good future if kept in the job
adam riordan hes trash anthony davis covers up so much bad stuff. switch out monty with doc
Let's not forget Jason Kidd..
I wonder if Kevin Love would consider going to Boston in the off season? I think that they can afford to pay him, he would be the main man of the team, and he would be in the easiest division in the NBA, the Atlantic.
Celtics are so clutch XD
Caoch of the year
The Celtics are doing a far better rebuild job than their arch rivals, the Lakers.
Ok, I have a genuine question.
I've watched the first 3 minutes or so of the video so far, and the commentator is talking about how great the plays are that Stevens has his team implementing. But, it seems like 90% of the plays shown, show players working really hard to run a play to get a mid range jump shot. That is the worst shot in the game. Why would you run plays to get shots that the defense will gladly give you all day? At the start of the vid it even says that the Celtics aren't good from an efficiency standpoint on BLOBs. It's live the clips/facts they picked, don't highlight the praise they are giving him.
Thanks so much by doing this, Celtics might upset the Cavs lol
I smell 50 wins! ;)
+Street walker Reviews They're in the playoffs again for the 2nd straight year.
Lol Isaiah Thomas averaging 15 points. That’s funny
