The playoffs have not been kind to Brad Stevens: Worst win percentage by a head coach in playoff history (minimum 10 games).

His regular season coaching redeems him.

It'll go up if the C's win the next 4 games.  ;)

I guess ESPN didn't do their homework.

Don Chaney and Bob Weiss have 2-9 records.

And Monty Williams also has the same 2-8 record as Stevens.

It's really a very simple sort here.  But without looking, can you name the 3 winningest coaches by playoff W%?

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

He's mostly had a team with less talent in three playoff series so far.

That said, great coaches find a way to get their teams wins when they are expected to lose.

Brad hasn't done that.

Not sure what Brad can do when this team can't hit open looks and the front court is soft and can't box out and rebound..

Could rotations be better and more consistent? Sure.

At the end of the day though, you aren't winning games missing open looks and not rebounding.

Wow, from 2-10 to 7-10.

What a turnaround feat by Brad Stevens!

The whole "Brad is on the hotseat" narrative has to rank up there with the dumbest of dumb hotsportstakes.

He has a better win percentage than every head coach who has NEVER BEEN to the playoffs in playoff history.

This is one time I wish they would allow 100 TP.

 Only thing I care about is a 5-2 record this year.
