Bradley and Green's defensive intensity and know how is why they should always start. They hound the opponent's guards and their rotations are usually on point.
A. Bradley right now is a beast on defense at his position. And can give larger players all they want to the point of distraction as well. Luka says Hi. The short time I was in Game Time I noticed it and said Luka's not enjoying Bradley defending him.
Plays taller than his height. I can’t believe he is listed at 6’2”. Very under controlled player, and mature, similar to Green in that way, even Derek Fisher.
I’d rather they rest him considering our injury history. Tell KCP to step up to the challenge. Well, at least suggest it to him.
I would give Bradley some rest if it needs to... unlike previous years, we have to think about the post-season...I would rather go to the playoffs fully healthy and a little rested as a 5th seed than an exhausted and hurt first seed. We should start strong just to make a point that this year, we are back and build the right habits. Also to take advantage of the easier part of the schedule. But not at the expense of players getting hurt.
i'm guessing Danny...if Vogel wanted to, he coulda went Alex...im sure he could keep up with Tomas Satoransky
this is why these advance analytics being used to be the end all of stats to judge a players impact is flawed, you can't tell me KCP is a top 3 defender on this team and impact (based on adv. stats) when you see him countless times getting abused by his opponents, bricking open shots and general mucking things up
I was really impressed with Bradley's defense right before he was hurt, however he seems pretty limited offensively and I think people forget that KCP is a streaky player who can light it up at any given time. I'm not saying I don't want Bradley playing ahead of him but KCP isn't total trash either. We overpaid for him, so I get that his presence is salt in the wound, but while we have him, I still root for him to get hot and scorch the opposing team on occasion. He just needs to minimize the bonehead plays, but Hart used to do the same thing on occasion.
Bradley may be a little streaky too while being consistently excellent on D this year. That game he got hurt he was on one of KCP's hot runs or even hotter. Probably not from 3 though when KCP is hot.
