RANT RANT RANT There is no way we are going to make any type of strong push in the playoffs if Pierce doesn't step it up. Don't get me wrong I believe he is out of shape, but that doesn't change the simple fact he needs to be more aggressive in taking shots. HE IS OUR "CAPTAIN" and the "TRUTH" is that if he doesn't look to put the ball in the basket at all cost and step up to the position we are in big trouble. I just believe Rondo cannot be taking the most shots on our team. The Celtic's seem to have become way too passive and rely on Rondo way to much to make things happen and get them good shots. (LAZY MAYBE) As much as i dislike the "Black Mamba" pierce needs to step up and get the same selfish mentality in shooting. If he doesn't step up someone needs to, Ray did a good job helping to fill the void when Pierce was out though, that I will admit. We are becoming way too unselfish and I realize that there are great scorers in C's uniforms, but the out of shape thing isn't cutting it with me. MAN UP OR GO HOME. P.S. 6th-8th seed SPELLS 1ST ROUND OUT FOR CELTICS UNLESS THEY SHOW ME A DIFFERENT TEAM ON THE COURT IN THE COMING WEEKS. THIS IS NOT TO EARLY TO PANIC THE PRESEASON IS OVER NOW. WE CANNOT EXPECT TO LIMP INTO THE PLAYOFFS AND TURN IT ON WHEN IT COUNTS!!!!!!
