I think we're just asking for the seventh seed. We just don't know who's gonna win the 2-3 race yet... :\

We're asking for the 8th seed, if anything.

Wow. I don't even like complaining about refs, but they were terrible

I don't care about these games; wins provide hope for the future, losses show Pierce/KG/Rondo are important [duh?]

These games mean nothing for the playoffs.

Bradley and Bass aren't starters!!

So the best defensive guard in the NBA shouldn't start?

Not at PG.  Bradley is a terrible PG (offensively).
Defense is effort. Don't make an argument that he has any more natural ability to play defense that any of the top guards in the league, silly.

You're joking, right?

Now you're saying that Bradley is only a top defender because he gives effort?
Correct. More effort than most.

Lol, interesting.....

See, this is why we can't have good things.

Agree completely, thanks for making sense. Haven't seen a whole lot of it tonight

And a better draft pick.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Then why take the time to comment? Or to watch for that matter?

Meant to say, I don't care about the result of these games. Though tonight was certainly a lackluster performance, I can't see how it could possibly affect us down the stretch, in the playoffs.

Athletically speaking why is Bradley a better defender than Wade, Irving, Westbrook, Rose, Holiday, Jennings? To name a few

Though he certainly has much more natural aptitude for defense, he also spends much more effort. His counterparts could play defense close to Bradley's level, but they don't: they don't give the effort.

A lot of players don't give their all on defense, you've seen the quotes.

His anticipation on defense blows almost all of them away.

Defensive instinct, incredible lateral quickness to stay in front of the ball, quick hands.  Things that you really can't teach.
