Sure, they miss Avery Bradley. But Courtney Lee and Jason Terry should have been able to fill in more than adequately.
Neither player can replace what Bradley did for the team last year.
Replace? Absolutely not. But adequately approximate the role and production that Bradley gave them? I don't think that's asking too much.
I didn't necessarily expect this team to play .700 ball to start the season like they did at the end of last season. But barely staying afloat above .500? I'm completely at a loss.
offensively, maybe. But defensively neither Lee or Terry are on Bradleys level of impacting a game.
BUT
Bradley is an ELITE defensive player...like KG, he helps cover up for alot of other guys deficiencies..
I dont know why people are so hesitant to give him credit for helping to turn our season/defense around last year.
think about it, KG was calling bradley our "defensive leader"
