Still really worried he won't be the same. He put a lot of torque and abuse on his body with quick cuts.
Starting to think AB makes more sense long term, though he has had some injury concerns too....
I think the same. IT will have to take a less than Max to stay a celtic IMO. Bradley is on the rise and he works hard on his game.
Bradley is also maddiningly inconsitent and very easily thrown off his game. I dont want to give him upwards of 25 mil a year.
Sorry, but this is simply not true. He's averaged 16 and 6 this year with good %.
Im well aware of his numbers. Good Bradley is an absolute stud. The problem is that Bradley often really struggles to play through injuries. He has missed at least 20 games in 3 of the last 5 seasons. On top of that, he missed 11 games last year (including 5 in the playoffs), and even back in 2012, he suffered an injury causing him to miss the entire Miami Heat series.
Also, anyone who has watched him knows he is incredibly streaky. I mean in games 5 and 6 vs the Wizards hes absolutely unstoppable, 22/37, 7/13 from deep for 56 points, but then where is he the next 3 games?
4/17 from 3?
he scored a lot against Cleveland in game 1 and ended up with OK shooting percentages, but you saw the games. His jumper was trash. He basically shot us out of the game in the first half.
where was he in games 3 and 4 in Washington? 5/17 shooting, 2/9 from deep.
I stand by the bolded. The fact that he scored 16 points a game, does nothing to prove his consistency or ability to be effective when made uncomfortable.
