why does avery bradley suck so much?

[incoherent]

I strongly disagree with the premise of this thread.

Avery embodies everything that is Celtics basketball.

Everything that was Celtics basketball

I wish Rondo played with half as much heart as Avery does.

He use to but he doesn't care anymore, all he does on defense is bark at the ref for not getting a call on offense.

in my opinion, theres a lot of optimism from this game even the loss.

I'm starting to go from liking to LOVE watching Bradley, his defense is great and he's starting to feel more confident in his offense, 3 dunks a jump shot and a few FTs, When hes in there Westbrook struggled a bit

Dooling just made it easier for Westbrook but w/e

the team crawled from 27 down to 6...thats good enough for me, problem: not age, not injuries (but with 1 or 2 extra big will help), its the TOs. That 2nd quarter turnovers by us is why we had to fight back in the first place...

Pierce was aggressive

from what i see...the Celtics still got it, theyre not just a jumpshooting team, they can drive and create contact. Pierce got to the line to shoot 15 times so thats good, coming out of this game, you implement more of the "pros" and work to improve your "cons"

LETS GO CELTICS

I said this during chat but when we first started our run AB was in D'n Westbrooke up, then Doc put in Dooling and Westbrooke went on a mini tear (like 8 quick points)... when Doc FINALLY put AB back in, Westbrooke made NO MORE BUCKETS, and his only 2 pts were at the line!!! We win this game if Doc learns how to do rotations!! How do you put Ray out with four other bench players (none of which can get their own offense) and we get hammered really bad and he calls NO TIMEOUT, even though it was like a run of 23-0!!! AB played great tonight and every time he has started he has played well!!

He's a defensive stopper.  He's not a point guard or a shooting guard. 

he's a guard tho

Sorry the language, but why does this guy blow so much. Why does he suck so bad?

Why does he dribble like a moron?

Why does he build brick houses every game?

Why do people overrate his worth?

This guy stinks and I doubt he would even average more than 10 a game in college today

He faced one of the most garbage point guards in the game who has all but quit in jameer nelson and people thought this guy was something

Just a silly silly post.

TP for you.  I absolutely agree with your reply.  Avery has done a decent job filling in for RR even though he isn't a very seasoned point guard.  I like his heart and guts.  Doesn't back down from anyone on D.  Is getting better taking it to the hoop.  I am not sure if the original poster has even watched AB play in the last few weeks.  It doesn't seem like it.

That has always been.

It's a leap year

imo, bradley = marcus banks

Still?

I think you gotta give him more credit than that. Banks was a 4 year player entering the league, Bradley would be a junior right now. I think Bradley has improved a lot since last year. You could say it only has to do with PT but even in limit time this year he has been pretty good.

I also think he will end up being pretty good offensively. He has potential to be a pretty strong slasher (quick, athletic, strong) and I think his jump shot will come as that was his game in college.

Also not to mention Bradley seems like he cares a little bit about bettering himself where Banks seemed like he was Mark Blounts protege

lol of all the nights to make this thread. I figured this had to be an old thread that someone just brought back up

This is the internet, where sports fans show that Stan Van Gundy is in no way close to being the true master of panic.

I like that he brought it up though. Better than people only trashing when someone has a bad game, or waiting till after the game to post a reactionary thread

How good do people think Bradley will end up being? He really showed me something tonight, his athleticism allowed him to keep up with russell westbrook. He looked so lost at times this year that it was hard to envision him as an nba player. Now he is showing signs that he will in fact be a very good player. How good do you guys think he'll be?

[LooseCannon]

I'd say that there is at least a 50% chance that Bradley will be an above-average guard when he is 25.  If he gets there, he might not look like he is within hailing distance of that level until he is 24.
