I don't know if I give sully a grade since he really didn't play as much and at all in the second half also sucks he had to guard bosh who was getting his shots over both sully and bass because of the height difference

I honestly don't know what Doc is thinking with that Bass/Sully 4/5 lineup. Bass is an excellent defender but they are both so short it leaves no room for error. You need someone who can block shots when the defense breaks down
Agreed... He looked to score a couple of times on the baseline which was good considering he got stuffed, but he'll learn... Most true 5's have a hard time guarding Bosh on the perimeter... That's the most I've seen Doc leave a rook out there especially in a big game during tight times...Quote:

And that leaves Battier as the roamer to toss up 3's...Quote:

That's true about bradley but there is a lot of new guys who gave to learn the defensive schemes and it could take a while for guys to really work well togeth
The season is all a building block for the post-season. It's probably not a terrible that Bradley is out and we have to implement the new guys into the rotation right away. It will give them the experience and confidence for when they are called upon. Bradley chasing around Dwade and Lee chasing around Allen is a lot different than Lee chasing down Wade and Terry/Barbosa chasing around Allen.
I was disappointed with Green in the opener but its one night and he had a great preseason and if he can get back to attacking the rim, going after offensive rebounds, I think he will be alright. This team is going to go on a roll fairly quickly I sense and we are going to be spreading some minutes around.
