Talk about basing this argument off of 3 plays, two plays of which aren't Bradley's fault. And no mention how Mudiay was limited to like 6 points for the rest of the game. He is 1st team all defense for a reason after all, and no need to discount him all for one play. I bet his DRPM numbers are off the charts (with Horford playing) with his new found rebounding ability.
tp
 bradley is rebounding at elite rate-this task takes away from defense it takes away focus and positioning
not having crowder is huge for a perimeter guard then add horford with his length and mobility
then getting judged on 2 questionable sets of defence

They went from AB, to Rozier to Smart on him.  He was on fire from the very start.  Brad was concerned about this game from the beginning.  I think interviewing AB before the game was a mistake in general.  I don't like that stuff in general.   Instead of staying focused the media does this when we are playing well instead of staying focused.  You can see it coming. It just gives other teams ammunition and Mudiay probably saw it.  Denver was all but counted out this game. 

We were way too slow in adjusting.   It should have been the other way around and the celtics should have been that motivated.  I think Brad Stevens was aware he just couldn't stop the bleeding fast enough.

We were chumps this game.  We got blowed out. If anything the one thing I've noticed with this team is we lack focus that way.  I think eventually we will be focused each and every game but a lot of the time we aren't.

Blame Scal, Draper and Abby Chin.  Denver basically did everything we were supposed to do and just outphysicalled us.  Scal wanted to play with speed and thought Denver would go small and play into our hands.  Tortoise and the hare.  We came out playing fast and rushing things and  fumbling passes.  Mudiay just stuck it down our throats and was on fire.

i remember warm ups where everything went in-then game time -back rim, front rim
or warmups where nothing went in and game time and shooting lights out
-certain gyms and lighting or rim tension-"always had good games there"
does anybody still remember being superstitious and having habits
amir had his moment mudiay had his

I was like that too Rollie.  Although some nights everything just felt right and went right.   I was probably the best player i ever was in my mid 30's though.  I just had the confidence at that point and k new what worked and what didn't where not much would bother me.

A lot of gyms were so different too. Now in the nba though they are all kind of similar.

so basically we're saying Bradley's not needed since we have smart.
