Celtics Title Town

January second is around the corner, and the Celtics await the defensive pressure of Bradley. Avery must be pumped right now, and so our all of us. Again guys, give Bradley some time, and don't expect him to takeover right away.

"It's up to, not only to me, but the doctors and [team trainer] Ed [Lacerte]," said Bradley. "We're just going to take it day by day. They're saying January -- around the first or second -- so we're just going to see how I feel."

Bradley also said this about his potential return.

"We're hoping for the next home game after the West Coast trip." Pressed on if it might be earlier, Bradley cautioned, "Knowing Ed, he sticks to his schedule and that's what he's been saying, around January. So, we'll see. We'll see how I feel."

Many fans label him as the savior, and some media guys ask the question as well. Bradley sets the record on the topic.

"Nobody's a savior for a team," said Bradley. "We're a team. All I can do is go out there and do my role and guard the other players as hard as I can."

What about the growing expecations.

"No, not at all," he said. "I'm going to go out there and play hard regardless. I'll play the way I know how to play."
