How long before James Young replaces Bradley?

[BudweiserCeltic]

I say after the All Star break.

Same here! Maybe 3-4 years after that! If ever.

[Nerf DPOY]

all these rotation decisions are being based upon a 3-3 effort by young, in his first nba game ever? really?

geez, even by the standards here at CB this is one boatload of over reaction.

keep in mind the tone and expectations of many posters after the celtics won game 1 against brooklyn. the raves about the celtics offense, playoff bound, etc. all gone after game 2. what will game 3 bring?

one good game does not a season make, nor does one putrid game. rondo truly was poor last night in his passing and shooting and scoring and +/-. do i hear cries to replace him? or do we simply rack it up as a down game and place it within a larger history, and move on knowing that he will improve over this particular performance?

bradley has proven he is a starter in the nba and he knows the celtics plays already. stevens will keep him over young for a while yet.

let's calm down a tad here.

I think in this instance it's less reactionary and more about some posters wasting no time pouncing with their agendas.

I think you are way more likely to see Young starting at SF next to Bradley than to see him replace Bradley at SG.  And highly unlikely to see that this season.

That's right

making young a starter is definitely the wrong idea. but getting him more mins. isn't.

this was definitely an overreaction by Celtics nation. the Nets & Rockets games are perfect examples of why this team will be bad this yr.

the Nets game we took a lot of bad shots, but made 'em.

the Rockets we took a lot of bad shots, but missed 'em.

we're going to have more shooting games like the Rockets game because we're taking bad shots. we might not lose as bad but we will lose more often than not as long as we're encouraging bad shots to be taken.

Bradley had an off night shooting, and Harden is a heck of a player.  I can't believe I am reading this headline this morning. Panic.

What I saw last night from Harden: arguably best offensive player in the league.  He is scoring like a top SG and passing like a top PG.  He is getting the ball a lot but he makes great decisions.  He was the best actual PG on the Olympic team I thought and that skill is showing here.

He is about to have a huge season.

Can't happen soon enough in my eyes.

Harden is a heck of a player. but we were also told AB is a great defender. haven't seen that in 2 seasons now from Bradley.

seems to me Harden treated Bradley like any other player defending him.

and Bradley having an "off shooting" night happens more often than he has on shooting nights because he takes bad shots. he's useless fool's gold. his bad shot taking gets glossed over because he hits 'em some times.

5-14 shooting night for Harden, I'll take it. Too many free-throws though, but that's more of a ref thing than anything.

Dude has been getting to the line pretty much 10+ per game for the last couple of years, nothing out of the norm with Harden there.

Bradley was just hosed good .  He is too short to cover the 6 5" players.

Thank you.

Signing Bradley to a big contract was a huge mistake.

I think Young is already better than Bradley.

[Celtics18]

My guess is never. 

[greece66]

My guess is never.

[Celtics4ever]

DA just spent 9 million on AB it will be a while.

I think Young is already better than Bradley.

  Probably why your posting on Celticsblog and not working in scouting or the sports industry.

What was it that sold you on Young over Bradley? That runner he hit and got fouled on? The garbage time lay ups? Shooting 32% from the field in preseason? Going 2 for 9 from beyond the arc? His up and down freshman season? His you tube highlights? I'm curious.
