And putting up 14 shots per game to average 14.8pts at a .441 FG% is really not a negative factor. Especially when he had an even better FG% before his shooting slump in the month of January.
Not only is it a negative factor, it's also pretty much a guarantee that he's not really a viable scoring option on a team that has any sort of ambitions.
Oh yeah, and by the way -- in his last 2 full seasons with the Celtics, a 35-year-old Ray Allen was scoring 16 points on 12 shots.
He's not really a viable scoring option on a team that has any sort of ambitions? That's a stretch. He's just not a Top scoring option is more like it. But that doesn't matter, cause he's not on a team fighting for a high seed right now. And he is only the 2nd scorer on the Celts this yr, for lack of any consistent scorers to defer to besides Green.
Oh yeah, and by the way-- I never once posted in this thread that Bradley is better than Allen. That argument is just silly, assuming the comparison is based on Bradley now vs Prime Allen, rather than 38yr old Judas. I've just been posting to defend Bradley from all the haters who give him no credit & think he's a chucker.
