Soild D and constantly moving the ball around on the offensive side of the ball. 

Bradley looks impressive.

Bradley looks impressive.

still a pretty ****** offensive player, but his defense looks good.  Of course he was a late first round pick and late first round picks have no value, so my eyes must be deceiving me and he is really just ******.

lol

avery bradley is one of the worst offensive players of all time.  it's great that he's rocking at pressing the ball, but he needs to improve offensively quite a bit to become a quality rotation player.  the fact that you think it would be worthwhile to trade Pierce for somebody like Bradley just indicates how terrible your opinions are.

I would have never drafted Bradley.  I thought he was far too undersized to play SG and couldn't play PG because of his ball handling ability.  

And when did I suggest trading Pierce for somebody like Bradley. 

Celtics are not a total wash out yet and are still, now I guess a "darkhorse" according to you ding-dongs, title contenders.

Garnett isn't completely washed up yet either.  deanod is a miserable little man.

Garnett isn't completely washed up, but he's too washed up to anchor the defense to a 'ship.  All things considered he's more washed up than not.

Even Wyc last night was saying that they perceive themselves as a potential spoiler moreso than a contender.

Moore raining 3's!

Welcome to the 2011-2012 season, PP and KG.

This team might be able to take a playoff series down after all.  Of course that presumes that the lockout schedule doesn't murder the Big 3 by April.

nice comeback there kids

not if they play the Heat in the first round, which is their current matchup.

ty captain obvious

They could very well move ahead of ORL, who is about as Jekyll and Hyde and you can get lately.  

We could move ahead of Atlanta, Orlando, Indiana, or Philly.  Just takes one of them to hit a skid and as long as we don't suck too hard, BAM! 6 seed is ours.

late 2nd rounder, 4 year player at purdue.  i like him as much as i can like a late 2nd rounder.  in his senior year he only averaged 1.8 TOV's a game even though he was scoring 18 ppg and not really cut out to be a high usage player, also did really well in PnRs, catch and shoot, and pull up jumpers.  he went late because he's pretty polished w/o much upside, is an off the ball player, and is a 6'4 combo guard without much in the way of PG skills.

he was really struggling to shoot before putting it together with a breakout performance vs orlando.  i think he has a shot of cutting it as a 12 mpg backup in the league, he fits really well as the 1 with Pierce running the offense so long as he can continue to make shots at a decent clip.

we prob won't be seeing too much of him once rondo and dooling are healthy, but it's nice to know that we have a 12th man who can be ok at times.  if he keeps it up he will prob continue to find spot minutes since he has a long enough wingspan to guard 2's and daniels + pavlovic really just don't cut it as 4th wing players.

in other news, ainge ******* rocked this offseason and pierce is back and balling his *** off.  pietrus and bass are just huge, huge upgrades over bbd and daniels, and it looks like wilcox could be upgrade #3 over JO.  getting those 3 + dooling for air was much needed to fortify the bench, which was in large part our undoing last year.  might be a bit too lil too late with KG still being a shell of last season's self even with his latest mini-resurgence, but it helps nevertheless.  early returns on pietrus have been better than anything jeff green ever did, and he came at just 1/8 the price.

this team is gonna be alright after all with a little bit of fortune wrt health.
