Paul Pierce is gettin old

[Humble G]

I chose Let Paul Pierce double-team and force a fade away. Next time you make a poll try to make it look less bias against a certain player. What your poll should really say is Rondo Iso, Pierce Iso, and AB Iso. Personally I pick the Pierce, our best triple threat player, Iso every time. Other than running an actual play it's the best option.

Thanks this was my first poll, wanted to try something different. It prly would have been better to have listed as you suggested and then defined their Iso's (in my mind) in which pierce is not looking for anyone and rarely passes whil I think Rondo could get and find somebody open.

Don't get me wrong I love Paul Pierce and happy is is still playing great, and no he is not old yet but his heroic iso move is getting old. In my opinion you play the whole game with 5 teammates on the court, why when it comes to the last shot must it become 1on 1 or 2 or even 3?

Finally, I'm startin to think that maybe next year we see what bradley can do in iso. I'm curious to see how much this kid continues to improve

I wish we'd either immediately attacked the basket, or called a timeout with 14 seconds left.  Instead, we got the ball up court, didn't call timeout, and just ran around for about 6 seconds.  We then ran the last play with 8 seconds on the clock.  After we had trouble in-bounding twice, I don't think we had our ideal play set up.

Paul's made that iso-jumper too many times for me to hate the play, although I would have preferred something attacking the basket.  (If only Rondo was a better FT shooter, he'd get the ball in those situations.)

Yes.  The biggest mistake on the final possession was letting the clock get all the way down to 7 seconds before calling a timeout.

PP is guy I would want to take that shot.   But if you saw it, and I am not questioning anyone on that, you'd note he missed right.   Usually he will drain it or miss long or short.   This leads me to believe that Duncan's height got to him.   Rarely does PP miss a shot left or right.
