I am not so much in favor of Bradley finishing the 4th unless its an offense/defense type substitution...but I am all in favor of Bradley STARTING the 4th. It looks like Nellie has decided that Dirk gets his last rest at the start of the 4th Q...so he winds up having Walker, Jamison, Finley on the floor as the front line which is brutal. We usually lose our leads in the first 4 minutes of the 4th. Having Bradley in the game at that time could help deter the opposition from going to the hoop and also allow the perimeter defenders to be more agressive on the outside at the 3 point line knowing Shawn is behind them. If Nellie would give Shawn 4-6 minutes in the beginning of the 4th Q then our propensity for giving away leads could become a thing of the past.
