Pierce (and Rondo of course) are not in the game in the 4th quarter - what happens ? the ball movement is outstanding, the team is running and attacking the basket.
re-insert Pierce and what happens then ? the defense quiets down, the running stops and most of all, the ball stops moving because it is in Paul-iso-Pierce's hands. he & KG play a bunch of 2-man inside/out all by themselves for what, four possessions while Green, Terry, Bradley, Bass, etc stand in the corner and watch. the lead is lost and we barely hold on at the end.
when are we going to stop having one guy dribbling the clock down while the other players stop moving.
that 4th quarter run was so much fun to watch !!
