I thought he's a pretty unselfish player before this season started. What happened to Bradley? I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with the fact that he'll become a RFA next summer.

It's because no one wants to shoot. Lol

He's been extremely selfish and awful this season. Almost to the point that I have to wonder if Ainge is instructing him to shoot us into the lottery, LOL

You must have missed last season.

This team has very little individual offensive talent.  The cupboards are bare.  Somebody has to take shots.

Against these teams that have huge, talented big men protecting the rim, we can't expect Jared Sullinger to be the number 1 offensive option, especially without a real point guard to get him the ball.

So until we have a real point guard and some talented size inside, Bradley is going to have to chuck it a bit just by default.  Especially if Jeff Green is going to disappear for 2-3 games at a time.

Yeah, bingo.  No point guard and hardly anybody on the team who is comfortable in a primary scoring role.

you're all missing the obvious explanation -- he's a "shooting" guard now.  he just hasn't learned that shooting is not all a shooting guard should do

I miss Bradley the defensive specialist who shot only when wide open.

Bradley is shooting his way out of a celtics uniform. Stevens isn't showing any emotions but must be pizzed off

5-22 is unreal bad

This is the Bradley that we used to know not Avery Bryant/Brooks

Bradley's always been very willing to shoot.  He's been like this at every level he's played.  I'm confused why he's getting so many more opportunities than Green.  It might be time to put Crawford back on the bench just so Green can get more shots.  With Crawford and Bradley firing away and Bass also getting his, Green mostly just stands on the weakside.

I hate that AB is missing the shots but he has the "word" that Green needs! I don't WANT AB shootin this much but Green will take 6 shots as our "best" player... someone has to shoot! Green is so sad it hurts me! Seriously, guys like PP, KoMe, and Broid shoot 20 shots no matter how they are shooting, you gotta be willing to miss to make!! Ticks me off!! UGH!!

Yeah, I've always thought so. Bradley hasn't really ever needed much daylight to decide to raise up. As far as Green's considered, his lack of attempts and touches continues to baffle me too. No Rondo, no Pierce, pretty much no guy who dominates the ball, and he still seems to rarely get looks some nights.
