Brad Stevens of Boston and Steve Kerr of Golden State are two of the best coaches in the NBA. Extending those reputations are records of consistent success. While Kerr wins with an embarrassment of riches Stevens has had to be more creative. Yet both bench bosses are considered top bet on NBA assets. For this reason, overlays have been a constant part of the handicapping equation for the Warriors. Three championships in four years tends to draw excessive public attention. By contrast Stevens is still on his quest for a first ever NBA championship.
