Cup of Joe. Coaching never stops for Brad Stevens


Grit, Grind N' Coach

"Late, we were a little bit off in what we were trying to do on the high pick just because we haven't been there together," Stevens said. "And so we literally walked into the locker room, drew it up and talked about it right after the game because we have a bunch of new guys. We're not practicing, so we've got to get better on the fly as we're thinking about it."

Basically, he's Mark Wahlberg in the movie 'Fear,' but for coaching instead of Reese Witherspoon.

Start Your Morning off Wit... Better late than never, RIP Anthony Mason

There's a better chance of Kendrick Perkins making two consecutive free throws five straight times then of this record still being held.
