if Pierce really does think he's as good as Lebron and Kobe, now is the time to show it.  If he gets hot, he's absolutely capable of carrying the team.

Not even, he just needs to come into the fourth quarter with fresh legs, hot or not.

This is a guy who has no problem drawing contact and getting to the line. And he can do that even during a cold streak, as long as the rest, keep us in the differential (2 to 4 possessions), coming into Q4, we win regardless.

When PP gets hot, however, the opponents get demoralized, that's the difference.

i remember a certain lebron james knocking out the pistons (who were unbeatable and huge favs to win the East)...that Cav team was not as good as this C's team...i think ALL the pressue is on the Cavs and IF boston can steal one...cleveland would be up against it

I'm not sure about that.  A cold-to-mediocre Pierce might get us by Chicago, but I don't think it will be enough to get past Cleveland.  Yes, Pierce gets to the line with regularity, but so does Lebron.  I wish it was as  simple as "stay within 4 possessions heading into the 4th and we'll win", but that's not the case, especially when going up against teams that get more love from the refs than we do.

Powe and BBD are going to take turns coming up huge at the pf spot. That's my prediction.

Hint... PP knows when he's cold and that's when he feeds Ray Ray, for the outside shot. You see, this is a different team now. PP doesn't simply have to hoist all the buckets in Q4 to win, ala 2002-2005. I suspect, however, that he'll heat up just fine for most playoff games. Paul Pierce is the last player I worry about.
