1. And New England collectively says, "Who?"

2. Good move...

This will work. Give Stevens some time, and it will work.

3. Well, he doesn't have to worry about high expectations for a couple of seasons.

So he's got that going for him. Let's hope he (and Ainge) are geniuses.

4. Meanwhile in Indiana

The reaction is a mix of pride and worry (mostly the former from folks at his alma mater, where I work). Not many college coaches have ever walked into an NBA head coaching job and met success their first time in the pros.

I do know he'll be approaching this eyes wide open and with a good investment plan for his newly-elevated salary...

5. I watched a short clip -

bright guy and I agree w/your assessment. He'll do what he can with this opportunity but he seemed as surprised as anyone that he was selected.

6. Rondo trade countdown is a go.
