Pump you up article from Tania about Bradley and Vogel and the team's defense. https://www.pressreader.com/usa/los-angeles-times/20191208/282205127763802 Some key words: The Avery Challenge and this whole paragraph: Vogel, "Avery Bradley has really a one-of-a-kind ability to just set a tone defensively with his tenacity in picking the ball up full court. And just everybody understands you can't dribble the basketball around the guy." (What abeer and I have been saying about his pretty amazing lateral speed) ..... "So I think that just impacts the overall energy of the group , and I think our guys have worked hard to overcome that."
I would like to see Bradley back vs the Hawks. No sense in rushing him now and we wouldn't have an issue clearing out the Hawks regardless of Bradley's status so it would be a great way for him to get some run in. We will need him vs the Bucks and Clippers so let's hope he will be 100% game ready by then.
First few games we really struggled with our defense when he got hurt, but it was nice to see us recover from that. Really happy to have him back though.
He's still not 100% but damn he was huge in that 3rd quarter. Good sign he's nearly there. We need him, especially with Green's slump.
He’s still not back to pre-injury form when he was very effective. Hope he’s back to norm in a couple weeks.
AB is a much better fit with the starters - I don't like him next to Rondo AND Caruso - those 3 guard lineups...yikes
