3. Mike D'Antoni, Houston – 7%
Steve Kerr, Golden State – 7%
Also receiving votes: Rick Carlisle, Dallas; Quin Snyder, Utah; Terry Stotts, Portland

While Golden State was picked as the team likely to win the NBA title (87%), Boston and Houston were next, tied with 7% of the votes.
Other Celtics included in the GM poll...
> Jason Tatum was tied for #2 among players picked to have a breakout season with 10% of the votes. Jamal Murray of Denver was tops.
> Kyrie Irving was picked as third best point guard (10%) behind Steph Curry and Russell Westbrook.
> The Celtics were picked as the best defensive team, behind only Utah.
After last night's preseason loss to Cleveland, Stevens was in no mood to talk good defense or anything else about his team...
