Bradley Out For The Season

[thestackshow]

Time for E'Twaun to step up. Hope he gets a burn and produce.

You know that isnt going to happen. Doc wouldnt play Moore if his life was on the line.

Well, I'm not so sure we win Game 7 anymore. Even if we do, I see no chance we do anything in the ECF. Man...what an unlucky season re: injuries. This is just a punch to the gut.

Is Bosh out for the playoffs or is there a possibility of his return, even at less than 100%?

C's only have a very slim chance at beating the Heat now without Bradley on Wade. PP/RR/KG have to make every game IMPORTANT in their heads, coming out, playing hard/smart and hopefully well. This is assuming they are not depressed about their chances of beating the Heat and blow game 7 vs 76ers.

the 2 guard spot has been a pretty deep position for us this year actually. we have Pietrus, Pavlovic(who has played well for us this year) Ray allen and even marquis daniels.

someone else just has to step up...I vote for Pavlovic. he is a solid dfender, rebounder and can knock down the 3point shot

we beat miami 3 times last month, they are beatable, especially without bosh.

They did that with a healthy Avery Bradley, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce.

Wow...just wow.  This team hasn't caught a break in the last 4 years.

There goes Wade's defender... ugg seasons over, they either lose game 7 or lose in the ECF. I'll take the latter, but with the injuries I dont see them getting past either the heat or pacers

Big blow.

Avery Bradley played a fairly large role in the C's strong push after the All-Star break. Fourth best player on the team over that period. He is a sizable loss.

Pietrus should start.  Mix the old and young guys.  Start the game with defense.  Give the other team something to think about.  

I'm real down on loyalty right about now...Ray can finish if he gets hot.

I don't think Sasha has enough quickness to check Wade in the next round. I'd rather see them go with Pietrus now (Game Seven vs Philly) in preparation for Wade.

Use Sasha and Ray off the bench depending on matchups. Sasha for defense (Wade/LeBron). Ray for offense (Miller/Battier). Pietrus will need to give around 30mpg against Wade. Keyon Dooling might be able to give some minutes against Wade too.

All this talk about matching up with the Heat...we first need to beat Philly, which is no given, especially without Avery.

Agreed. Pietrus can play excellent defense, but so far in the playoffs his offense is AWOL. Also, pavlovic can play physical on wade, but the refereeing worries me.

Since bosh is out, Boston can still win against Miami, but doc will really have to coach well and mix and match at sg. Defense at the sg position is probably more important than offense since shutting down/limiting wade will tip the scales in Boston's favor.

Seriously smh

I start dooling and put on him williams/holiday, get him to harass them all day long, freeing up rondo to play the 2, only problem is if they run plays out of the post on rondo, which you may be able to counter act by play steamer abit and having guard the rim.

I fell rondo is a confidence player, as soon as they score on him, his confidence goes down and rest of his game suffers, game seven will say alot about rondo.
