What the fukk are you taking about here?
This was an irrational post... Phil doenst hate a coach like brad stevens wtf? Phil is the best coah of all time at utilizing line ups that maximize his teams talent... Look at the Laker years. He also got the best out of every player he coached.
Okay, so, didn't know how to phrase it, it was late as fukk and I was high off that win. To me, I picture Stevens brain looking like an advanced stats excel pivot table, and it looks like the game slows down for his brain like players talk about when they are in the zone. Look at the plays he draws up out of time outs. He is the anti Phil, where Phil got along with the very best players, tons of ego, and playing guys against each other in the locker room, Stevens gets by with some serviceable players, no ego, complete buy in and the players acting like band of brothers, and his beautiful mind. He is the next wave. People comparing him to Pop, but I think that comparison is only made because he is a great coach, and he doesn't need to be one of the "stars" like Phil does. Pop almost got fired before Duncan fell into their laps. He is one of the greatest of all time, but Stevens is just different. I think this kid is a new breed, if people want to keep the Pop comparison, which is a huge honor no doubt, just imagine if Brad gets the Duncan impact type player with the lottery pick.
