After 3 games, Bradley is averaging 21 ppg, which would be 6 ppg more than his career high that he reached last year.
While it's great to see him hitting 67% from 3, this cannot, and will not last. The law of averages will even things out to it's normal levels.
But it has been fantastic to see Bradley doing so well. I don't see him averaging 21 ppg, but somewhere between 17 - 18 ppg is where I see him. He doesn't get to the line all that much, which would help bump up his average, and he'll still most often take long 2 pointers. But the extra couple of points will come from the addition of Horford, who makes really nice passes out to the perimeter, and from our offense passing the ball more at a higher clip.

I like Bradley, but not when he attempts 15 shots per game. |

Starters usually take the bulk of the shots, and that is partly why Bradley has taken the 2nd most shot attempts on the team (behind IT). But another reason is because we utilize a fast paced offense, and using Bradley on the hand off curl is a pretty good play that has become his bread and butter.

I like the different hero every night scenario... It makes the Celtics less predictable. If you have one guy or even 2 that are the focus every single game, teams can game plan for that. But you have one guy go off tonight and a different one tomorrow and a different one the next day, how can they plan for that kind of thing?

Well teams have to account for Isaiah because even if he is guarded , he still has that ability to score. He made a nice fadeaway shot last night in the first quarter.. That's pretty much indefensible..
The other guys need to step up..

He's still doing a good job of hitting his jumpers -- that's his bread and butter (he looks much smoother and confident with it). You can see that it's also his bail out option. But he's also taking it to the basket far more than I've ever seen him do in the past, even in traffic. This is a part of his game that he's developed as well. Where he will find challenges is when he's stuck in situations with the clock running down with the ball in his hands. He's not a 1 on 1 scorer. Avery has been one of the brightest spots on the team so far. |
