Bradley is an idiot.
Why?
Dribbled for about ten seconds with only 20 left, completely ignored an open Smart, and then took a terrible contested three.
Yep, tried to be a hero.
You were saying?
Bradley is waiting for your apology.
He won the game for us. Sweet!
Doesn't mean he's still not an idiot for his stupid hero ball a couple possessions earlier.
I disagree.
He may have had a defender contesting the shot, but AB has always been
very good at hitting contested jumpers (because he gets up so high high and has such a quick release). Also he actually had a pretty good look at that shot, and it was from a spot he likes, so it didn't really bother me at all.
Not the best shot selection in the world, but it was fine and IMHO was probably the best shot available at the time.
If he passed it up to Smart instead the result would have likely been no different...Smart probably misses the shot, and everybody probably criticising Bradley for not having the balls to take the shot (as everybody does when KO passes up shots).
If there are any guys on this team I trust taking a shot like that it's Bradley or Thomas (or Turner, if it's a two). Nobody else. Those guys excel at hitting tough contested jumpers, so when they take them I am OK with it.
I had no problem with his shot.
Sully's contested, fade-away 18 footer (which he takes almost every tame and often near-airballs) was IMHO infinitely more infuriating.
