Evilmav, once again your bringing these per 48 min. stats . . . its b.s. for the mere fact that Bradley sits against QUALITY INSIDE OPPONENTS!!! Its like saying Findawg is the bomb shit and totally irreplaceable and then sitting him against all the good 2 and 3 men in the league, and then saying yeah but he avg. 68 pts per 48 minutes and 13 rebounds blah blah blah ... that type of argument is flawed by nature. If we want a defensive presance, we need one that can actually be in most games to provide that presance when it matters ... so when was Bradley's last big game? against a quality opponent? When was he playing down the stretch when it mattered? Don't you find it odd that even when his shotblocking abilities seem to be needed most he dissapears? Did you see him play against the Spurs last time? The fact is he only gets numbers when it doesn't matter and the numbers he does get are not all that impressive, especially looking at the teams he posted 7 blocks 4 pts and 6 rebounds against. In the playoffs, he is a minus rather than a plus, thats what hurts. In the playoffs, he will be schooled by quality big men, thats what hurts. In the playoffs, he will be sitting the bench instead of "patrolling" the lanes, thats what hurts. Bradley even has a short fuse which he has let hurt the team on more than one occasion, that hurts too. Furethermore, he always gets into foul trouble, so he couldn't even play 48 minutes to get any of the numbers you are reffering too. Nelson was even an inch away from unloading him on his Airness, but since Booth was hurt, we wouldn't even have a center
