Really missed him tonight. He just puts so much pressure on the other teams and the rest of the Celtics feed off of him.   Also it allows Pierce to run the show, which is much better than watching Rondo dribble the air out of the ball.  Also, Rondo seems lazy on defense half of the time.  He plays in spurts and lets his many get by him too much..

This man speaks the truth. Tonight, the Celtics clearly lost because the Lakers PGs tore our defense apart.

Its not that you miss Bradley on the floor, what we really miss is Rondo on the bench.

I think Rondo functions better when he plays 35 minutes rather than 40.  I think Doc trusts Bradley enough to give him sufficient minutes so that Rondo can be rested enough to allow him to play at his best.

Hurt his shoulder.  Doc said he couldn't lift it yesterday at all.

Fisher had zero points, I didn't miss him.  We got owned on the boards and blasted at the FTA and you missed Bradley?   Where do you want me to send the tissues?

defense is contagious. We missed him. One break away steal for a bucket and we win

  • It's all about the TEAM!
The most obvious thing everyone misses with Bradley being out is his defense which he excels at being a pest to other team's players. But what I've been missing is what he brings to the offense. The dude flies down the court pushing the ball forward and passes it to open players as fast as he can. We run more with Bradley. We're faster with Bradley. We get to the hoop quicker. We don't look old when Bradley is out there.

Rondo has been playing offense like everyone needs a rest lately so I'll give you 15 seconds to catch your breath before we start playing. 5 on 4 leaves us with guys not open sometimes and Rondo throwing up prayer shots that sometimes don't have a chance of going in but he shoots it like it's no big deal anyway.

I think what made Rondo special has been analyzed and defended. Teams know how to play him. He's peaked. He's not improving on his weaknesses. He's relying on the same old game and teams are clearly onto him.

Bradley is Fresh.

Not only is the sarcasm unnecessary, but you clearly have no understanding on the effect ball pressure has on offense.

Not to mention that Bradley is an energy guy. We could have used him last night.

I thought we missed him as well. I kinda wanted to see him on Kobe for a little. Ray Allen did a good job but AB...nothing would pester him more.
