Bradley is an awful starting SG

[rondohondo]

Did you see the shots he was taking tonight? just throwing up complete garbage jumpers that had no chance of going in . He acts like he is a go to player on offense, and for some reasons Stevens just keeps running plays for him . He can't guard anymore because he spends so much energy running around picks on offense . Doesn't cut anymore , doesn't defend anymore , not a playmaker . He is a 3rd guard at best .

Can't wait to see Smart back, hopefully in a month or so  . 

KO is 6-9 on the night and actually a skilled offensive player,Sully 7-13  , but Bradley is taking 19 shots and shooting the C's out of the game for a big chunk of the game ......

felt that way about him for a couple of seasons.  he's not starter material.  he'd be better as a change-of-pace guard off the bench to harass a tired starter or inferior bench PG.  his offense is better suited to being opportunistic -- backdoor cuts, open jumpers as a 3rd/4th option.

Bradley has no ability off the dribble. Which is the number one thing you need your SG to have.

Avery is the player with the highest +/- (+6) on this team tonight.

He can only catch and shoot on the offensive end. Can't dribble or pass and lacks the ability to make plays for others....

Yeah, I was there last season with Avery. He's an asset when he plays to his strengths (tough defense and cuts to the basket) but it's been a long time since we've seen that.

And then there's the lack of evolution in the other aspects of his game. He still can't dribble or handle the ball for an extended period of time, his court vision and offensive awareness still sucks, and his defense has regressed.

The Celts are a pretty bad team when they take Bradley out.

Always felt that his best role would be coming off the bench and focusing on the defensive end of the ball while taking a reduced role in the offense.  He's a limited player and needs a more limited role that matches his natural skill set.

My thoughts exactly.

The Celts are a pretty bad team when they take Bradley out.

And also just as bad when they keep him in.

Avery was one of the best players on the court tonight, strictly because of his defense.  The C's  needed a stopper to deal with Reggie Jackson, and Bradley was very strong in the first half.  After that Joey Crawford took over.  I'm so sick of NBA officiating.  if the game doesn't fit a narrative the refs are allowed to do whatever they want.  When Pierce, Garnett and Allen were here, we got the benefit of the doubt more often than not.  We were known as a good defensive team.  When AB busts his ass, he doesn't get the same call.  It's disgusting.  College refs are better.

I gotta watch this game again, it usually helps.


My first watching it, if not for fouls most of this game AB had lock on RJ... then in the 3rd RR was switched onto him and he hit a 3. I said from there, he will get hot and he did, it was no stopping him.

Now, I guess we are going to also blame AB for Morrow?

You people are funny. Blamed AB for Brooks getting hot in the Bulls game too.


I wanna see how many of RJ's 28pts were with AB on him b/c it better be at least 20 of them. Then I want to see Morrow's points on AB too. I want to know b/c I could easily be wrong about this game. I will gladly admit to being wrong too. I just need to know either way.

He is what he is, which is a role player on a good team. He shouldn't be a go-to guy but nobody else on the team fits that bill either. It's not his fault that on this team he's expected to score consistently.

His lack of size/length and strength is also an impediment to being a more complete defender.

Thank you. Bradley also has no help behind him. That makes a huge difference. If we had better help D or a rim protector, his aggressive style would work better.
