“It think it gives him confidence to play,” Rivers said of Bradley. “And it’s something that we’ve talked about as a staff at the beginning of the year; we may have to go to a different offense for the second unit, which I don’t do very often.
“Because Avery’s not Rondo. He’s not going to be Rondo as far as running a team. But what he does defensively is so good for us it’s good to have him out on the floor. So if we have to have him out on the floor as a point, then we have to run a different set so that group can function offensively.”
It also means either Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett will have to be on the court with Bradley, “because we’ve run half our offense from the elbows of late.”

Avery Bradley developing strong confidence in defensive abilities
The game plan didn’t initially call for Avery Bradley to harass Jermaine O’Neal for 94 feet on every possession.“It really wasn’t (the plan), but I told Doc, ‘I’m going to pick him up for the whole game,’” Bradley said after spending his night repeatedly shutting a door on Jameer Nelson’s fingers. “He kinda looked at me...
Avery Bradley's Defense Pisses Jameer Nelson Off
In last night's 87-56 victory over Orlando, Avery Bradley's constant pressure on defense inspired the rest of the Celtics to turn in one of the team's best defensive performances this season.
However, Avery revealed in a post-game interview that his full-court pressure annoyed Magic point guard Jameer Nelson so badly that Nelson actually asked Bradley to ease up.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Bradley took the veteran former All-Star apart for 30 grueling minutes. He forced five turnovers, including an 8-second violation when Nelson couldn’t get the ball over halfcourt. After it was over...
With Strong Play of Late, Avery Bradley Making Case As A Future Starter, Making Rondo Tradeable?
With Rajon Rondo out to a wrist injury over the past three games, Avery Bradley has earned the nod as the starting point guard for the Boston Celtics over the last week. Prior to earning the temporary starting role, most fans either: A. had no clue who Avery Bradley was B. had no clue what [...]
Boston Celtics Avery Bradley Needs To Step Up Tonight
Once again the Boston Celtics will be without All Star point guard Rajon Rondo for the Thursday night rematch against the Magic. Today Doc Rivers ruled out Rajon Rondo due to the wrist ailment that has sidelined him for the past few games. Rondo’s absence is a major blow to the Celtics offense.

This shouldn't come as a huge surprise as the Celtics will make sure that Ray's as close to 100 percent as possible before bringing him back. We knew going into the season that, for the vast majority of the C's, it will take a little longer for them to recover from these types of bumps and bruises. In addition, A. Sherrod Blakely informed us that Ray and his...

Comments From the Other Side - Magic 1/26
Magic game threads were fun in this game. Talk about going from ecstasy to despair! I'll never understand fans wishing injury and death on players though. Talking about Pierce's stabbing goes way over the line. I've gotten down about a big loss or when the Celtics weren't playing well, but I've never hated on the Celts the way some of these fans are hating...
