Wow, I can't believe that not a single coach in the league gave a vote to Brad Stevens for coach of the year. His fellow peers did not think he was deserving, even though his best players missed significant playing time.

It's like Vince Carter not getting a single vote for best dunker.

The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

Philly is 2 - 8 beyond the arc. And they've only attempted 7 free throws (to our 13).

We can live with Philly shooting a high percentage, and Embiid going off for 30 -- as long as we're neutralizing their 3s and not giving them chances at the charity stripe. But of course, we need to score on our end, which we did beautifully late in the 2nd.

I think he coaches circles around every other coach in the league

I bet if they voted tomorrow Brad would win it. I can't remember a team that lost what would have been its two leading scorers going to the conference championship round. Not to mention all the other guys who are out or injured. Amazing season regardless of what happens in the ECF.

Isaiah Thomas, vocal as ever, said Brad is the best coach in the NBA.
