Bradley looks like he has zero confidence at all on offense.

He's plenty confident.  Just not accurate!  I'm sure the C's will be patient with his shot though.  He has very little trade value: much better to stay the course.

Bradley is playing himself into a permanent seat on the bench.

exactly,  I predict he'll be out of the league in 2 years if he doesn't improve quick, I hope he has his passport up to date, I hear Finland is a great place to play basketball

That lineup out there will be good defensively against anybody, but they'll struggle to score against anybody.  Anybody.

NBA TV isn't covering this...I'm stuck with Heat vs Magic. :(

Orlando looks terrible, btw. The halftime score does not fully reflect how bad they are.

let me take an unpopular view.

i like bradley so far in this game. yes, none of his shots have gone in, but he shoots with confidence and is not hesitant. he proved in college he can make shots, i think the shots will fall if he keeps shooting.

i did not like his first short or two. they were rushed. but after that a good shoot selection.

next, his man to man defense is good, but most of all i saw him play good team defense.

lots of hustle.

i was about to give up on him, but now i want to see if he can develop.

by the way, dooling plays good defense and really hustles. good pick up.

ok, back to the game.  :)

Someone who can lockdown on defense will always have a job in this league.

Let's also consider that he is 21 years old.

Ridiculous statement, to think he will be out of the league in 2 years. Absolutely ridiculous. People do realize there are two portions of the game right? Keeping points off the board is just as important as scoring, even if it isn't as glamorous.

Raptors have hit maybe 2 jumpers so far.  At least they have their defense.

I cut that garbage off and found a stream of this game. I couldn't bare anymore. Also if this is how the Magic are going to be this year, they won't make the playoffs.

A little better than his first game. I have a feeling Orlando fans will hate him with a passion in 2-3 months.

Bradley's shot has been totally off but what I like about him is that he is shooting with a LOT of confidence. Nothing like last year, you can definitely tell the difference. Of course it doesn't matter if he is shooting with confidence if he doesn't make them but... it will come.

As fas ar his defense... it's really impressive.
