Rondo + Bradley backcourt could give teams nightmares

[kozlodoev]

This will be less efficient than you may think. Bradley is distinctly average off the ball, and Rondo gambles takes possessions off.

[Marcus13]

Wow.

Yeah, Im sure a backcourt without the ability to shoot the basketball is just terrifying teams

[wdleehi]

I see it as a great option when at the end of the quarter with the other team with the ball with just enough time to get off one shot. 



Outside of that, the lack of shooting really hurts the offense.

[Capricious]

Can everyone hop off the "rondo can't shoot" train?  He is a league average mid/long 2pt jump shooter.  The only starter hitting long 2s at a higher percentage is garnett.  He also leads the team in FG%.

3's are a different story, but thats what happens when you attempt less than 1 per game for your career and they are never in rhythm.

EFG% of .390 now somehow counts for league average?

League average is what 42%? 44%?

He's actually 41% eFG from 10 ft to 23 ft, what drags his eFG% down on 82games appears to be his floaters in the 3 to 9 foot range. They count those as jump shots at 82games, which they really aren't.

Teams sag off him still and pack it down.  Until he keeps his defender honest and that is not happening yet other teams will pack it down on us.  His FG is inflated by many fast break attempts.   I love the guy but it is what it is and other teams do not respect his shot.   Bradley's shot is much worse, he can't make two with a pencil.

He's quite pathetic.  75% of his mid-range jumpers are WIDE open.  He really has no excuse to be missing those shots.

If this ever became the C's starting backcourt, I think the C's would be in tough shape. They might struggle to score 80 points a game.

not saying this should be our starting lineup , but it could definitely wreak havoc in spot minutes here and there....

[SHAQATTACK]

I'm on the side that says at this point, we need to PLAY the rookies and play the mud out of them.  They aren't going to get confidence sitting on the bench.  

Any one should be able to see how much better Moore, AB and JJJ are all looking more comfortable all the time . And they bring so much NEEDED ENRGY , and energy for me as fan as well..... JO and the bluehairs put me to sleep.  

The more they play the better they get and the more value they have as a player for our team or as trade piece.

[xmuscularghandix]

I don't know about Avery and Rondo together, but i'm all for moving Ray out of the starting lineup and replacing him with a hard nosed defender whose capable of hitting an outside shot.

I would also suggest that Rondo gry to get a little bit more Avery Bradlley in him defensively. Stop reaching and just man your guy up.

[Swoopz]

Man, imagine if we still had Tony Allen and Perk. Rondo, Bradley,  TA, KG, and Perk would be crazy on the defensive end. Offense would be nonexistent, but still...

[ianboyextreme]

Rondo and Avery will certainly be nice but think about that 2nd unit backcourt... Dooling and Bradley are pests!
