NBA information man David Aldridge is reporting that Avery Bradley will not play in tonight’s game 5 against the Sixers. Ray Allen will start in his place.
Bradley dislocated his shoulder in game four of the Celtics-Sixers series and injured the same shoulder in the opening round against the Hawks.
76ers super fan “Old Man Knees” (the guy with courtside seats who sits on his knees instead of his seat) was ejected in the first quarter of game one against the Celtics for elbowing Avery Bradley.
Hopefully, Old Man Knees can keep it together for tonight’s game.
“The lineup data supports the idea that Boston has found itself a defensive lineup for the ages… When Bradley and Garnett play together, Boston gives up 88.8 points per 100 possessions, allows 38.8 percent shooting and forces nearly one turnover for every assist. This is scary stuff, and it’s not one of those small-minute flukes, either — they’ve played 658 minutes together.”
Advanced stats guru John Hollinger on why Avery Bradley really really matters. Math is so boring though you guys. Going to go hang out in a Taco Bell parking lot and watch this clip of Avery Bradley blocking Dwyane Wade’s dunk instead. Bye.
