Bradley killed us down the stretch. Bad pass by Courtney Lee and he didn't step towards it (it was on Lee too) but layup. Two back to back TO's. The PG experiment should end and hide him in a corner where he can drill the shot. I realize we need his D but he is not a PG.
Is Humphries hurt?
the celtics have a bad offense, but they have absolutely no fourth quarter offense. a number of posters predicted this before the season started. there is no go-to player during crunch time anymore.
when the other team buckles down defensively, the celtics cannot move well enough off the ball to generate space and they do not have a single player capable of consistently winning against his defender in an iso situation.
as for bradley, i confess i admire his attempt to carry the team. but he just doesnt have the offensive skills to pull it off. he is trying so hard. rebounding, defending, stepping up and shooting, but as a pg he just is miscast.
i dont blame bradley for his poor pg skills. he is being asked to do something he just cant do well.
at this stage neither bradley nor crawford are pg material. cripes, if i had to watch crawford play point for 30 minutes ago i would have a seizure.
by process of elimination we may see pressey walking through that door. i dont have faith in an undrafted rookie to lead this team, but it would be worth seeing him play 10-15 minutes a night.
maybe stevens wants him to get more practices and learn more plays before throwing pressey to the lions. but i hope to see pressey soon.
