More proof Bradley will stay a Celtic

[greentouch]

I would like to ask a question that is just a little off topic, "Why is it that when Avery is performing his all out pressure and bumps the offensive player the refs always will call a foul and rightfully so.  But when Avery is pushed away by the offensive player the referee never calls that a foul and in my opinion it is clearly an equal foul.  If the refs honestly would call this, Avery would be by far the best on ball defender in the NBA, no question what so ever in my mind.  Opposing point guard would constantly be turning the ball over.

Oh, yes.  Why is it that Tommy (who complains about every other call a referee makes, never complains about this push off, as well)?

I would rather pay Humphries and then use our 2nd pick on Gary Harris or Stauskas.

I would rather have Humphries play shooting guard than Avery Bradley.

Avery does such a great job getting everybody involved in the offense with his pin point passing.

Because your opinion is wrong.

I think the OP meant 'evidence' Bradley will stay a Celtic, not 'proof'. You can't have proof of something where the outcome isn't even determined yet.

Again to the people who are agianst his signing hes a 23 year old lockdown guard who can score..

No, he isn't. Particularly where the second part of this statement is concerned. He can chuck a lot of long jumpers, and may have big scoring nights when those go down. Ultimately, however, they're still long jumpers -- that is, one of the less efficient shots in the game.

How many times will people call him a chucker? Stevens tells him to shoot! He's a SG. He shoots. And he's a good shooter. Get over it.

Well this page has been comic gold so far

For the reason that AB is injury prone (one of the worse in the league) , Danny can't be bringing AB back for even 5 million a year.

Don't even think he is going to get much interest around the league (unless its a cheap offer). Danny shouldn't offer more than the qualifying offer.  Poor AB should of taken the offer Danny made earlier the year when he had the chance

His defensive rating is at an all time low at 108, while his fg% is at an all time high. His defense is worse but he's scoring more efficiently this season.

Completely unreliable in terms of his health.  Every year he misses boku games.

If you toss out Bradley's rookie season, Bradley has missed about the same percentage of games in his career as Jared Sullinger has.

yea but if you toss out Bradley's rookie season then you have to toss out Sullinger's rookie season, in which case Sullinger looks like an iron man

I tossed out Bradley's rookie season because of time in the D-League and healthy DNPs.  Feel free to do the math if you can figure out how many games were actually lost due to injury.
