I believe Stevens deserves it based on coaching merit. His team is simply not as good as he makes them perform. Their best player is out, and a nice rotational piece in Hayward, and he has two rookies and a seldom used pg going to the conf finals with a decent chance of advancing despite what has been quite possibly Lebrons greatest playoff performance to date. After Anthony Davis joins them, they will be in the Finals for about five straight years. But Golden State cant be beaten for at least this year and next, so there's that.....and then Utah will win three which eats up the prime Celtic years.
