"We’re going to be a completely different team, just with one player coming back," said Rondo, whose frustration and desire for a change in the Celtics’ 13-13 start couldn’t be more feverish. And then there’s this corollary to the last comment: "I think (Bradley is) the X Factor. He’s going to be the key to why we win the championship. He brings a lot to the team in terms of intangibles, the way he cuts offensively. His pressure defensively is going to raise everyone else’s pressure. His defense is going to make us a lot better."
a new quote from Rondo...he's really putting alot on Bradley..hopefully he takes the pressure to heart and performs
Rondo is putting way too much pressure on Bradley. Can anyone explain to me how exactly Avery is going to improve our paint defense, rebounding, and shot-blocking woes?
Look, I love Bradley, and I think he is going to help us in many ways. But he is definitely not our key to winning a championship.
