Brad Stevens is the perfect personality to be a head coach in today's NBA
I think the most important attribute you can have as an NBA coach is your personality. Most of these guys do understand X's and O's. But if the team doesn't listen to you, you have to do it in a way now where the guys don't totally shut you off.

The Raptors are the softest team I've ever watched. And having Fred VanVleet take the game-winning shot in overtime, how do you have DeRozan and Lowry and you have these guys... they shrink in every big moment. They're so soft that they made Kevin Love look like the tough guy.

The Knicks should be dangerously confident given how the Eastern Conference is looking
They should be. Because if you go back to the regular season games and you know, you try to figure out, okay, what really matters...
