Bradley had a good season last year.

It's amazing. Bradley's held to different standards than pretty much any other middle of the roster type guy in the NBA. It's always 'if only he were consistent'. Newsflash, Mike Finley had been in a year and a half shooting slump. NVE is the most inconsistent player in the history of the NBA. Walker has been inconsistent throughout his entire career. Dirk stumbled for almost a year.

Why is Bradley held to a different story by fans and by Nellie? Well, the answer for Nellie is simple. For much of the past half decade, Nellie would rather have an additional scorer on the court as opposed to having a guy on the court that doesn't do much offensively but can change the game defensively. Now for the fans. Well, there really is no good answer as to why The Mantis is held to a higher standard than players that are better than him.
