Boston Celtics Daily Links 1/4

Herald Battle on at the point

The competition is equally tight, and maybe a little queasy, between Avery Bradley and E'Twaun Moore for backup guard minutes. Rivers poured gasoline on the embers last week when he said that the rookie Moore passed Bradley, who is in his second year. Moore, a four-year college player with a smooth, collected court presence and classic shooting style, is 21 months older at 22 than the raw but explosively athletic Bradley.

And yet Bradley was Rivers' first choice for that backup role in the last two games. Rivers said he simply went with his gut. But Bradley also needed some support, and Danny Ainge, a mentor to the young guard, provided it with a long courtside talk before last Friday's home opener against Detroit.
