What has happened to our captain? He has no lift in his shots and can't even rebound anymore. Can he even turn it around this season? Thoughts?

I dont think he expected there to be a season and he's incredibly out of shape.

However, with him aging, theres definitely no guarantee he'll get it all the way back

He's terribly out of shape....I'm really believing that he was planning on the season being cancelled.

In his favor, I'll say that the foot injury probably didn't help him, too.

It is inexcusable for guys making $15 million to $20 million a year to be out of shape. That is all.

I'll be shocked if he is playing this bad in a month or two. It will probably be too late by then though.

Yes. The lockout is only affecting the Celtics.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Pierce was at a lot of the players' meetings during the lockout (so was KG) then had a foot injury for the ridiculously short training camp.  He's out of shape and out of rhythm. 

We've seen enough out of Paul over the years to not give up on him this fast, I hope.

yeah, this.

by the time Pierce is back in shape it wouldn't shock me if one or two of the Big 3 were gone.

i think it is bc he is banged up, which has impacted his game and conditioning

If he is banged up he should not be playing. He is a HUGE negative on this team right now. HUGE

One rebound in 35 minutes is just simply unbelievable for him.

He has to be still injured, and he was such an important force , the team can't fuction the same without him at all. 

If his foot hurts m then he can't work out and get back in shape
