The way I see it Pierce was pretty tired by the 4th and didn't have the lift to be effective on the offensive end. I feel in order for us to have a chance this series we need to find a lineup that allows Pierce to not have to guard lebron for more than lets say 30 minutes a night. Right now I am having a hard time thinking of any effective lineup we could put out there that would allow Pierce to "rest" on the defensive end by not having to guard Lebron. What do you think is a good lineup to throw out there for 8-10 minutes a game to maximize offense, defense, and Pierces Legs? The best I can come up with at the moment would be if the Cavs are Playing big Z/ Hickson/ Andi at the 5  and Jamison have Pierce gaurd Jamison, KG as the center and either Daniels or Tony at the three. This makes some sense to me now but full disclosure, I've been drinking

I think Pierce needs to do something called PASS THE BALL... This team is best when they are moving without the ball and moving the ball and letting Rondo dribble in and out of the paint... NOT when Pierce tries to put the team on his shoulders calls for iso's and turns the ball over and forces shots. It is ridiculous.

At some point during his 1 - 12 stretch Doc didnt think, "Hey you know what was working? feeding to KG in the post." or "Heyy Ray allen is a pretty good offensive player, lets give him a couple plays rather than iso with Pierce." or even better "Hey you know what, Rondo scored 19 in the first half and was ruling this game, lets put the ball in his hands rather than Pierces".... Like, seriously, I just dont get it.
