The Captain isn't sitting, period, unless he is injured. JG has not earned a starting nod and it would be an insult to Paul.
This is exactly the very reason why this team is going down the dandrums...why oh why are we so attached to Paul, he is freaking 35 yrs old and still some people on this board still thinks PP is 28, lets all pause for a minute and breath..I am not advocating PP sit but heck the guy needs help, he is struggling and is in a shooting funk.
The same was said of Ray Allen last year, he ain't effective starting anymre and it took an Allen injury before doc realized he had to make the adjustment.
Are we really waiting for a PP injury before we should see what Jeff can really affer as a starter.
This team needs a shot in the arm and people see PP, Rondo, Terry and Bass as the main culprits for this freefall, of those players Terry remains n the bench and Rondo should continue to start therefore PP with all his medals and accolades in the past seems to be the right guy that should adjust his game, for all we know PP might even have a better and improved shooting if he comes off the bench...we can never really know until we try.
Me also thinks the dynamics of Rondo would change once he is forced not to defer to Pierce in the starting line up, it forces Rondo to be more shoot first knowing he won't have to defer to Pierce which he always does...I love Pierce but he is 35 and its evident that his game is sliding off the cliff faster than he could realize it himself, lets admit it, he ain't young anymore, Heck even KG needs to sit but we just don't have someone to replace him so he still plays heavy minutes and still needs to start.
