Last night was a treat. I got to camp out in front of the TV and watch the whole game with the house all to myself. I was really impressed with the game that Bradley played. I know that he petered out after a hot shooting start (and fouled out) but Curry was 9 for 27 and basically kept under control for the whole game. Defense is a team endeavor but Bradley was great. Curry got one 3 on a moving pick that wasn't called where Bradley had no chance and there were a least a couple of cheap star calls that went against Bradley. Overall, I thought he was outstanding.
My thought about this is I wonder if some of the contending teams will take notice of Bradley and think that he might help them get past the Warriors. Bradley is no star but how many players can put up 19 points while playing that kind of defense on the best player in the league (Curry plays pretty good defense too). Teams like CLE (JR Smith starting SG) and OKC (Jared Cunningham starting SG) come to mind as teams who might be trying to find the X Factor to beat the Warriors.
I am not looking to trade Bradley and it would be tough for either team to make this a good trade for Boston (especially CLE) but I am more speculating on how this one game may raised Bradley's profile as a unique player with potentially a valuable role as someone who can slow down Curry some while still giving you some decent offense.
