Steve Nash has higher playoff winning percentage as HC than Brad Stevens

Even if the Brooklyn Nets get swept out of the second round by the Milwaukee Bucks, head coach Steve Nash will still have a higher playoff winning percentage than former Celtics head coach and current head of basketball operations, Brad Stevens.

At 38-40 for a career playoff record, Stevens' teams were always knocking on the door of a finals berth, but were never able to knock it down and fulfill The lofty expectation set by the fan base.

Clearly, Nash has been bestowed with a trio of superstars that have helped him win four out of his first five playoff contests, but it's clear that the NBA is a player's league and perhaps Brad Stevens decision to move into the front office and away from coaching has to do with the fact that he couldn't win with the current roster that Danny Ainge built for him. Nash is still a neophyte head coach and will face a steep challenge in Milwaukee in the semi-final round, but for the time being, it looks like the Nets will get the last laugh over the Celtics.
