He's one of the reasons, combined with our paint protection - of why I want to see Portland in the playoffs. I'd like to avoid one of Hou, Den, Clippers for one round |

| His shot is looking decent. Still a bit over aggressive physically on defense and picking up fouls, but maybe the refs adjust and start giving him some more leeway. |

Avery's game is coming around. His defense was very good and last night he hit a few jumpers. Good game overall 9 pts, 5 rebs, 2 steals, 1 blk..
AB seems to be playing his way back into basketball shape. Hopefully the best is yet to come. |

| I was watching his defense on Conley in the 1st quarter and it was a thing of beauty. He was Conley's shadow. |

| He looks like he's playing Celtics Bradley defense again. Just a straight up hound on that end of the floor and it's contagious to the other guys imo. If his shot can hit he will be massive for us going forward |

| If he can shoot around 37-38% from 3, a lineup of Bradley-Green-LBJ-Kuz-Davis could do some damage in the playoffs... |

Loving his motor on defense. Glad we picked him up.

Bradley so far is such a blessing - love to watch him play D & so glad we got him. Old Lebron means we need him and Green BADLY.
Dare I hope for, please please please Iguodala? End of game lineup James, AD, Green, Bradley, Iguodala is our only hope of containing the threat across town. IMHO. |

Refs made a few weird calls on the defensive end last night. Danny Green fighting around a screen was another one that the replay showed was BS. I'm fine with guys picking up fouls as long as they adjust depending on how the refs are calling the game. Last night they were allowing contact for the most part but then randomly called ticky tack stuff. |

Honestly I don't want Kuz with the starters unless he shows a huge improvement on the defensive end. We need his scoring off the bench. |

Props to AB for annoying the (bleep) out of Morant.
Disrupting Morant’s game shouldn’t be overlooked. |

Bradley is an "old-school-type of player" & he fits this team's defensive mind-set perfectly. I love his hustle and effort.
AB had a nice game last night on both ends of the court, he finished w/12 points, 3 rbs & solid defense. |

Agreed. I prefer Bradley, Green, LBJ, AD, Dwight. Kuz is a turnstile on defense, so it's better to have him matched up against opposing teams' second unit players, who he will torch. |

| He is a good fit for this team. This is why exhibition games mean nothing. He has been consistent on both sides of the floor (good enough offensively and very good defensively). |

I prefer Dudley starting with Kuzma, Howard, and Cook competing for Dudley's finishing minutes.

Zubac is a starter in name only. He will never finish over Harrell.
The same paradigm can exist with Dudley starting over Kuzma and Howard.

Nah, it depends on matchup. On certain nights like if we play against teams like Portland, we need a rabbit chaser to close out games. Bradley is the most suited to play that role |

| Great pick up. I remember the Lakers wanted to trade Randle for Bradley a few seasons ago, but the Celtics wanted Nance instead. Bradley went to Detroit, we got KCP, and the rest was history. Glad he came over now though, because apparently he was crap as a Clipper. |

One more reason to love him! The anti-leonard.

| Bradley = Mini Ron Artest in terms of being a elite defensive player once his offense comes around he’s gonna be a all star for us. |

He was hurt with clippers and Rivers was still playing him. Just a bad situation for Bradley there |

We'll walk Denver imo.
