"I don't want to put it on one player, but when [Avery [Bradley] comes back, we're going to be a completely different team," said Rondo. "He'll help us out a lot, especially on the defensive end. He's a physical guard and I think we need that type of effort, that type of energy that he brings to the game and it's kind of contagious."
Then in a brief moment of levity, Rondo stared into a television camera and declared, "So I'm putting all the pressure on you, Avery. No, I'm just playing."
I'm actually in agreeance with this, and I think we will start to play better as a team once he is back in the starting lineup.
1. Our defense last year was poor until we inserted Bradley into the starting lineup.\
2. our starting lineup has been 4/5 of the same guys but has been poor..the one guy they are missing: Avery Bradley.
if you have an Elite perimiter defender, and an elite defender as a Big, it is going to cover up for alot of the mistakes of others.
alot of these games we are losing we cant stop the other teams perimeter players...Bradley can bottle up those guys
