There is a myth that Bradley is an all time great defender.

Brad's love affair with small ball is barf inducing.  The C's are -14 in 30 minutes so far in the series when they do not have 2 big men on the floor.

Butler ball

IT has to stop those dumb pull-up transition threes.

But we definitely look better small like this. Which isn't surprising since Al is clearly a 5 and has been one his entire career.

Bulls clearly out of sorts without Rondo.

That's the problem with having such a ball-dominant guard like Rondo - it's hard to play without him when he's out. That was always a really hard issue that we dealt with, especially toward the end of the Big 3 era.
