He'll never win, but Brad Stevens should be the NBA Coach of the Year

How did he do it?
Seriously. How did he do it? How did Brad Stevens coach the Boston Celtics to the 7-seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs?
The Celtics clinched a playoff spot on Monday night when the Nets were beaten by the Chicago Bulls. This sets the Celtics up for a probable first-round matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. (Or perhaps a series against the Hawks if the Celtics lose last two and Pacers win last two.)
Will they lose in the first round of the playoffs? Undoubtedly. But the fact that Brad Stevens coached them here means he should win the NBA Coach of the Year.
他怎麼辦到的？
我說真的，他到底怎麼辦到的？
要怎麼教球才能把波士頓綠衫軍教進季後賽
而且還第七種子？
台北時間20150414公牛踏破籃網
同時也代表賽爾提克確定拿到季後賽席次
雖然他們第一輪就會碰上Lebron James率領的騎士
綠軍將止步第一輪嗎？毫無疑問，他們注定會
可是Brad Stevens居然能把這支青賽帶進季後賽的事實
說明他值得ＮＢＡ年度最佳教練
This isn’t to discredit Steve Kerr of the Warriors or Mike Budenholzer of the Atlanta Hawks. One of them will win the award, and no one could ever find anything wrong with what either did this year.
And sorry, Gregg Popovich. Actually, seriously, sorry Gregg Popovich. You deserve to win this award every year and we get tired of giving it to you. It’s dumb. Popovich should win every year until he retires.
But for my money, the most impressive non-Pop NBA coaching job this year belongs to Brad Stevens. He was able to drag this team to the playoffs while GM Danny Ainge and the rest of the Celtics front office did everything they could to land the Celtics a lottery spot.
The Celtics traded away Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green this year. They regularly put out a starting lineup of Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart, Evan Turner, Brandon Bass and Tyler Zeller. How many of those players would start for the Clippers or the Warriors? One? Zero? Turner wouldn’t make the Warriors top 10, and he starts for the Celtics.
我對勇士的Steve Kerr
或老鷹的Mike Budenholzer沒有絲毫不敬
我甚至敢說這季的年度最佳教練就是他們其中之一
他們今年成就驚人，任誰都挑不出毛病
還有，Gregg Popovich，對不起，真的對不起
我認為每季的COY都應該搬給你，直到你退休為止
可是這麼做實在太有事了
要我來說，這季執教最令人驚艷的非Pop教頭(Non-Pop)
無庸置疑就是Brad Stevens
在自家GM Danny Ainge還有整個制服組想盡辦法坦籤的情況下
他老兄還可以把這群生力軍拽進季後賽
青賽今年送走了Rajon Rondo和Jeff Green後
最常擺的先發陣容是
Avery Bradley
Marcus Smart
Evan Turner
Brandon Bass
Tyler Zeller
請問一下有幾個在快艇或勇士會是先發？
一個？一個都沒有？
Turner在勇士甚至進不了前十人輪替名單
在綠軍他卻是先發
This is a team that gives regular minutes to Jonas Jerebko. Kelly Olynyk is a key cog. Jae Crowder is huge off the bench. The team’s best player, Isaiah Thomas, is 5-foot-9 and can’t play defense.
The Celtics don’t have a rim protector. They don’t have anyone other than Thomas who can create his own shot.
This isn’t an NBA playoff team. It just isn’t. And they’re in the NBA playoffs.
在這支綠軍，Jonas Jerebko能有穩定的上場時間
Kelly Olynyk拌演關鍵角色
Jae Crowder是板登暴徒
而全隊最好球員，是五呎九吋沒防守的Isiah Thomas
這支綠軍沒有足以捍衛籃框的長人
也沒有第二個有Thomas單打能力的人
說穿了這不是季後賽的隊伍，真的不是
然而他們進了季後賽
Stevens has gotten his team to buy in completely to the system. They defend well (somehow) and score the ball by moving it smartly. Stevens buys the team a few buckets a game with creative and wonderful inbound plays, and those points can come up huge at the end of a game.
Listen, either Mike Budenholzer or Steve Kerr is going to win Coach of the Year. Flip a coin, one will get it. But I hope Stevens gets some votes, because by getting this Celtics team to the playoffs, he deserves plenty of recognition.
Stevens漸漸讓子弟兵相信了他的系統
他們的防守不賴（怎麼辦到的）
靠聰明的輪轉球來得分
Stevens每場球總能靠戰術在發邊線球時
為青賽多進幾球
而這幾球在關鍵時刻尤其重要
聽著，這季的最佳教練不是Mike Budenholzer就是Steve Kerr
你大可擲個銅板，看看是哪一個
但我希望Stevens也能有些票
因為光是他能率領這支青賽前進季後
就值得給他肯定
