His mid range shot was making me go crazy We have such a big guard problem imo besides Danny Green. Hope we can figure out a move or 2
His D has been really really good. He's been attached at the hip to his man every single game. Even though Luka had a career day and the box score doesn't show it, Bradley was making him work for it.
Avery Bradley hustles for every play. As bad as his shooting is right now, it's refreshing to know that he's going to give it his all. There's not a single loose ball Bradley doesn't try and hunt down.
i'd like to see him move the ball with more purpose. he seems to hunt those midrangers, even when it's not late in the clock. i don't expect him to be a facilitator (he's never been one), but that doesn't mean you have to shoot on the touch. this isn't houston.
I wouldn't take him off the starting lineup. His intensity on defense is infectious and it sets a tone for the entire game.
We need this guy - I love his intensity on defense and if he hits open shots, he's a HUGE plus for us. Also he had a sequence where he got switched onto Rudy Gay and he stood his ground and got a stop - that's the kind of plays I wanna see from him - he needs to be our Pat Beverley
This is good reason to stay off basketball social media or basically away from people who don’t watch games. Luka had a statistically “good” game. In the game I saw, he was hampered by Bradley for at least 3 quarters and he could not leave an imprint on the game until much later in the 4th and OT. Luka deserves credit for producing even when things aren’t going his way, a sign of a good player. But Bradley left a mark on the Mavs game by making life harder for Luka.
Surprisingly Bradley may have been the signing I was most skeptical about. But he has been amazing. He is a pest on defense, and despite him having a bad shooting night against Dallas, I actually feel very confident in his shot. As he proved tonight, he can hit the mid range shot efficiently. Hope the injury is minor and he doesn’t have to miss much time.
Glad the injury isn't serious. Had his best offensive outing of the season on 7-9 shooting. If he can string together some more of that efficiency, cause the looks are going to be there, then watch out.
His D is essential. As I've been saying, he's quietly become my favorite Laker. I like his demeanor and his toughness. He just gets after it. Hopefully he doesn't miss any time from this knee injury because I feel like we need him to compete every night. His crazy shooting percentage last night was cool, and offset the previous games woes. I figure he'll hover around 45% for the year - neither bad nor standout good. As long as it's respectable and he can knock down a decent amount of open looks.
just can't be so bad defenses ignore you. and if they do, kill them on offensive boards like rondo and westbrook sometimes/used to do.
Indeed. It was so apparent in that 4th quarter when Murray was going off and breaking KCP and Caruso off the dribble with ease just how important bradley is because he doesn't allow that to happen often and is great at getting deflections with his active hands. It was alarming to me how much of a difference he brings to on ball defense.
