Heavens, you'd think the clubs was down 10. How can anyone expect a triumphant progress when the casualty list includes their starting PG, PF and Ctr, plus West. Paul and Ray are past the day when they take over on their on their own (besides working in a system that doesnt work that way). Everyone that's filling in (read: Davis) has to re-learn roles on the fly. If you are going to grouse, why not ask 'where's Quisi' ---he's slipped into the backcround when he needs to step up.
Probably because the team were facing's starting unit basically consists of 2nd and 3rd string players.
Were basically struggling against a bunch of Big Baby and Nate Robinsons.
So its a wash. But for Paul and Ray to take over, someone needs to get em shots. They dont have the goods to force the issue. Davis could make the extra pass but some of his misses have been in the flow of things. Pressing a bit. A lot of good teams fence for the first half before pulling away. Let's see how the wnd half goes.
Pierce has 23 points with a non-factor Rondo. What do you mean he doesent have the goods?
I think you underestimate Ray and Pauls game, they have the skills and the talent to force the issue, they just dont put fourth the effort on nights when they are facing the garbage of the league like tonight.
Rondo hasnt done a thing, Pierce has gotten everything on his own tonight.
Pierce and Ray arent 2nd string role-players, they are big time starting all-star caliber players, they know how to get it done when need be.
