Is Felton going off on Bradley?

Felton is a career 41% shooter. In the past three games against the celtics he is shooting at 50%. For his career against Boston Felton shoots at 39%. It is not like the celtics can't defend this guy. Quite the opposite,  they have made him into a poor shooter in the past.

It looks to me to be a case of him simply having the hot hand. That happens in the playoffs sometimes. He is making shots he normally misses right now.

we normally had rondo on felton, hence why he is normally averaged 39% against us. rondo's underrated D strikes again

Felton's career shooting percentage is 41.4 percent.  He hasn't been much of a shooter against most teams.  There have been a lot of "Rondos" guarding him then.  Felton's just been making a lot of shots, whether it's been blowing by an assortment of guys, bigs and smalls, nailing shots off the dribble and the catch.  It hasn't been one guy and if Rondo was guarding him, I'm not sure what would've been different.  It's not like Rondo's pick and roll defense is all that good or he contains penetration.

Playoff samples are small.  Felton's just been hot.  He could easily have a horrible shooting game getting the exact same shots he's taken.

Smith, is the guy I worry about tonight not Felton.

  Funny, after all of the comments by so many people about how we should ignore Rondo's entire career and focus solely on a small stretch of games this year, everyone is suddenly rediscovering the term "small sample size".
