Celtics (10-17) at Wizards (20-8) Game #28 12/27/14

[Who]

The two games before this Bradley was 14-27 from the field, including 7-11 from 3. He starts out 0-5 tonight so by all means, pop your heads back up groundhogs and tell everyone how he can't shoot.

At this point, he may be more of streak shooter than some would like to admit.

Oh, he's absolutely streaky. I'll admit that. I'm not sure how streaky he is compared to the rest though, and don't feel like attempting to do any comprehensive study that'd require effort. I will predict his numbers in the end will be fine shooting-wise amongst 2 guards.

Main problem is when his long jump shots are not falling ...

Bradley does not get to the basket often enough (1) to get easier shots at the rim, or (2) trips to the foul line. Nor does he provide enough secondary ball-handling or playmaking ability from the SG position.

So if that long jump-shot is not falling, he has little to no value on offense anymore.

So it really stands out -- like an eye-sore -- when Bradley's long jumper is not falling.

Olynyk's making some silly mistakes out there but he's clearly our best player tonight. He needs to be a bit more used to driving, but his passing ability is so valuable. I'm thinking his skill set is more unique than Sully's the more I watch them play.

Don't forget about how bad he is on defense.

I am still not seeing any decent offensive big man that Olynyk is capable of defending.

Which big on our team has been capable? Every big we face scores easily on us, no matter who is defending them. It's just ugly.

What kind of offense is this team running?

Run and shoot miss

I think that is more accurate. 

[notthebowler]

Does anyone else watch Nelson and think back to the glory days of John Bagly?

[Chief]

Who comes off the bench first in the second half?

Bass or Wright?

The answer is Bass.

He also has some of the worst tunnel vision in the league, especially when he puts the ball on the floor.  Remind me of myself.  Just an overall subpar offensive player.

I'd prefer wright. I want to see what he can add to this team. But CBS will probably run out bass and Nelson to provide veteran experience....or something.

[Chief]

Watch Bass. He just watches. Both ends.

[vinnie]

We need to take a few more threes.

Bag's was the best.

[Vox_Populi]

Jeff looks like he's going for that contract.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

wright has some inside skills.....crowder is a real rebounder.....

[rondohondo]

last out of bounds plays 4 celtics stand within 3 ft of each other , turner is actually standing out of bounds , pass goes to pressey to drive and try and beat the shot clock on the opposite side of the floor 

hahahahaa

this is too funny

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Watch Bass. He just watches. Both ends.

LOL..you always hated bass....

[MBunge]

If KO had played the entire 4th quarter, he would have only played 37 minutes.  That's not exactly the Bataan Death March.  Why not leave him in, at least until garbage time?
