It would be nice to see a big game from Avery Bradley, but I don't think we'll be seeing one. He'll be matched up with Evan Turner for this series and Turner has 5 inches on him.
Hate to say it, but Bradley might qualify for my much talked about "11 Game Rule"... where a seemingly unknonw young player (Flip Murray, Brandon Jennings, DaJuan Wagner, Jeremy Lin) is able to "shock the world" for exactly 11 games before tailing off.
Bradley officially gained the starting position from Ray Allen on 4/5 against Chicago. He then rattled of the next 11 games: 9 points, 4 points, 18 points, 11 points, 7 points, 15 points, 18 points, 22 points, 17 points, 23 points, 28 points. Averaged 16 points during the stretch, but mOre impressively he shot 55% during that stretch and a ridiculous 69% from three.
Game 12: he was 2-10. 0-1 from three.
In the 8 games since his 11 game stretch... he's averaged 8 points on 36% shooting. He's 3-17 from three point land (18%). I might need to post a thread about this 11 game rule.
