Why is Bradley starting?

[celtics2030]

Really?

Why is he starting.

Getting tired of these 0 , 0 , 0 game

He has 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks.

1:30 left in the 4th. To me that is almost unheard of.

Realistically because green doesn't have a good enough handle for a sg, Wallace has no outside shot, thorton mmmm I guess isn't a good enough all around player, smart can't hit enough shots, turner too inconsistent turnovers horrible defense ie we have no one else

However zeller starting and ok off bench helps team.  So why not rondo thorton green sully zeller start.  Thorton spreads the floor, green can hit threes as well.  More spacing more lanes.  Good defense good rebounding

this is the lineup that i've always been waiting this season, since we're experimenting i hope CBS at least can try this.

I would prefer Smart, Bradley, Green, Sullinger, and Zeller.

That is the lineup I am waiting for.

He is one of Ainge's   scrub creations

He is our only real option I guess, IMO this is our most important position to upgrade. AB is a decent player but he is not starter quality on a playoff team. He can't dribble, pass or drive add to that his defense has dropped off big time.

[Evantime34]

Because he is the best option

[BitterJim]

He's the best available defender and is one of our top offensive options.

Now, if you want to argue that Smart should be starting, I'd be tempted to agree, but he needs to get more experience before it'll be a real option

Bc when he is on , he is good.   Good defender. 

I'm ok with him starting and then riding the bench if he has an off game. Like he did tonight

Isn't a good defender suppossed to help the team be a good defense?

Garnett was a very good defender , and it showed

Bradley is a good defender, and we are terrible


This means that Stephens either does not care , or he plays the players that don't need to be on the court for long times in the game.

Zeller will probably be long gone before Smart gets the starting gig at point.

and with smart being injured for much of the season, i assume you are suggesting that turner, thornton, or pressey will provide superior defense.

I can give you $32million reasons why he is starting.
