I have noticed that he has a solid 15-20 minutes in most games and then that is it. After that it's turnovers, bad shots and poor defense. With Pietrus coming on, why not play him a lot more and PP a lot less? It can't hurt.

PP can still work out and not hurt his foot. He can do other exercises,  maybe pedaling, ............hea sat on his bunns belly aching about how terrible it is to play in the NBA , and got fat , forgetting his resposibility to the team to stay in shape.....

Ray was the only one of the BIG three to see the inside of a GYM.

KG and PP were out a Burger KIng with BBD

Spring will be here before those bums get back in playing shape...so they tossed another seaon down the drain

Pietrus needs to start for Ray Allen

he provides good shooting and good 3point shooting but with a much better defensive presense

Let ray come in for Pietrus and Pierce(keep his minutes around 30 until in basketball shape) and let ray allen take shots when hes in

This needs to happen with Garnett not pierce... Sad but true, Garnett is no longer an NBA caliber starting PF. 20 minutes off the bench from him would be perfect.

As long as Doc keeps him just under 39, he'll be fine.

Agreed. About 20-25 minutes should do. Pietrus is looking pretty good and could get some of those minutes until Pierce is in game shape.

KG is not out of shape. He is old and his best shape is beneath what it once was. He was in elite physical conditioning in his prime and his game required that.
