Winning When One Is Off

Just a random thought.  Remember when the Celtics lived and died with Paul Pierce?  Remember when he had an off night and he would just have to keep shooting so he would eventually have a decent point total and a horrible shooting percentage (not to mention a loss)?

Yeah, that's not much a problem anymore.

Pierce managed just 6 points against the Sixers but only took 6 shots and the team won handily.  KG looked off against the Bobcats (just 10 points) but Pierce was able to pick him up.  Sometimes Ray's shot isn't falling, but the other two (or sometimes someone else) pick him up.

Not much of a point here.  Obviously several stars is better than one.  We knew that was the plan from the beginning.  I'm just saying that it is nice.

Oh yeah, and for a little perspective, when they are all on?  Watch out league.

CSL talked about this last night, but I didn’t listen to that podcast till this morning – I guess great minds think alike

it’s very rare that they’re all “on” though

True but...

I think it is a testament to the maturity and unselfishness of the Big Three. If one guy isn’t on they usually do a good job to get the ball in the hands of the guy that is playing well. Pierce only scored 6 points but at the same time he only took 6 shots. In the past he would have kept shooting until he found his shot. Now that he has two premier scorers, and some very talented young guys, he doesn’t have to shoot the majority of the shots when his shot isn’t on.

pp has played within his game and is the c’s ultimate weapon. when they need him he’s there. he is hustling on defense and the pounds he’s lost have made him better on d.
