The only guys in the league who Bradley never gets significant minutes against are Shaq, Olajuwon, and a few other of the very best big men in the league... of course those are nightmare matchups for Bradley, but it's not only unfair to say he doesn't contribute against heavy-duty frontcourts- it's blatantly incorrect. If y'all recall, in the late third and early fourth quarter in that last game against the Spurs, Bradley logged a block against Duncan (on the fastbreak, it was a thing of beauty) and two against Robinson on one play. Also notable is that in Bradley's time in that game, we outscored the Spurs 20-7. And some of y'all may disagree, but I would say the Spurs frontcourt is about as heavy-duty as it gets... Consistently, Bradley spurs huge Maverick comebacks by playing on the defensive end, and while less tangible than the contributions of Finley, Dirk, and Nash, they are probably just as important. THAT'S what Bradley brings to the table, night-in, night-out when he gets significant minutes, even against serious contenders, and that's what you'll see more of in the playoffs this year... If Bradley hadn't gotten himself ejected in right when we caught about even on the scoreboard in that game, I'll give you five to one we would have won that game, and Bradley would have been the reason...
