We know that he knows the game. We know that from that perspective he deserves the credibility that he has. But, there does come a point in time where you can look at an individual and say, they’re just not listening to you anymore.”
Still, Smith doesn’t believe the matter is necessarily Stevens’ fault, per se. He’s just simply suggesting the Celtics are done listening to Brad.
“Coaches are human beings too, with a job description and sometimes that job and your ability to do that job is compromised,” Smith said. “Not because of lack of knowledge; it’s because people are tired of hearing your voice and that’s entirely plausible when it comes to Brad Stevens.”

New Orleans:
“The bottom line is, you have a lot of people in New Orleans that have looked to Stan van Gundy and wondered if they’ve turned a deaf ear to what he’s saying,” Steven Smith said. “We know he knows what he’s talking about. We know that he knows the game. We know that from that perspective he deserves the credibility that he has. But, there does come a point in time where you can look at an individual and say, they’re just not listening to you anymore.”
Still, Smith doesn’t believe the matter is necessarily van Gundy's fault, per se. He’s just simply suggesting the Pelicans are done listening to Stan.
