I would argue that the last few games have not instilled confidence in this Celtic team.  While they have won, it has not looked good.

That being said, PP has been fantastic.  The parade to the line the last 4 games (double digit free throw attempts) has reminded me the Pierce of old (circa 2002).

So the question is, can he keep this up?  Will he keep it up?  and finally, maybe most importantly, should he keep it up?

I'm not sure the celtics should count on Paul going to the line and carrying us for an entire season.  I'd rather see him save it for the playoffs like he did last year.  Let's hope the other C's get it going.

If PP's minutes are reduced to 36 mpg or lower, I think he can keep it up, but only if the C's need him to. I don't think he can keep it up if he's playing 40+ mpg though. PP is very good this year at picking his spots for the right time to take over or to force things, if that is what's needed.  He didn't do it as much last season because it was rarely needed when the C's were blowing teams out most games.

PP is on a mission this season. 8)  I just hope Ainge is able to fill the holes so that Paul's efforts this year are not for nothing.
