Avery Bradley’s primary offensive skill, which is to handle the ball, wait for a screen, and then pick-and-pop into a fifteen-to-twenty-two-foot jumpshot, is not seeing much use now that he’s on the Lakers and always sharing the court with a player who can make a legitimate claim at being top five in the NBA (one…

Avery Bradley 21 Points Full Highlights (2/8/2020)
I want Avery Bradley to score the same amount of points (roughly 16 PPG per game) as he was scoring for the Grizzlies. Somehow, he needs to take control of the offense to the point that his unstoppable midrange jimbo becomes demonstrably unstoppable rather than theoretically unstoppable. Bradley will have to step on some toes…

When I saw that Avery Bradley has sixteen points in the first quarter of this game, my response was not one of hypeitude. Instead, I grimaced and braced myself for a thirty-burger from Bradley that would bring considerable amounts of joy and cockiness to Lakers fans who don’t require significant amounts of either of those…

There was a time where I clowned Avery Bradley for his overreliance on midrange jumpers. That time was before I started this channel, I think, because I can’t find any evidence of me dissing him for shooting too many of those things in my comprehensive description archive. That’s good. I wouldn’t want my old opinions…

How did the Grizzlies lose this game? They got tons of unexpected production from a ton of places. Chandler Parsons, who was clinically dead at points earlier this season, scored 16. Joakim Noah, who emerged from a grimy alley in Paris with nothing but the clothes on his back to play for the Grizzlies this…

Avery Bradley is playing so much better in Memphis than he was in LA (at least, he is on offense – DTB does not care about defense) that one has to wonder if the Clippers front office is feeling a little sore about the whole trade. Sure, they got Garrett Temple and JaMychal Green in…

I still haven’t quite figured out what the Grizzlies’ endgame was when they traded JaMychal Green and Garrett Temple for Avery Bradley. There’s three options: they did the trade for financial reasons, they did the trade for basketball reasons, or they did the trade for no reason at all. Money-wise, the Grizzlies saved roughly three…

Given how booty Avery Bradley was this season with the Clippers, it’s surprising to me how well he’s playing in Memphis. No one noticed because of the constant drama going on with the other LA team, but he was really not good for the Clippers. Way below his standards, and the standards of all of…

When I was making highlights for Avery Bradley during his Celtics days, I seem to remember that I would often go in HARD on him for what I deemed to be his poor shot selection. He was an old-school shooting guard stuck in the modern era. His reliance on the pull-up midrange jumper was a…

Avery Bradley was brought in to the Pistons to elevate them to some sort of new level. Maybe it worked: the Pistons are, indeed, better than last year. I don’t know how much of that minor improvement he is responsible for, but he at least has not tanked the entire operation. Or, thought of another…
