The Truth has been ridiculous.

[Celtics18]

Over the last 8 games the team has gone 7 and 1, and looking like we may be able to give it one last run.

The biggest reason for our success of late has been the play of the team's captain.

His numbers per game over the last eight games are as follows:

PPG: 23.4
RPG:  6.5
APG:  7.4
FG%: .477
FT%: .794
3P%: .450
FGA: 16.0
FTA:  7.9
3PA:  5.0
TOs:  3.9
Stls: 1.4
Blks: 0.6

Wow!!  I don't think Paul Pierce is quite washed up as an elite NBA player just yet.

The amazing thing here is that those numbers are approaching 2001-02 levels - which IMO were his very best.

He was playing SG at that time, too.

Besides Lebron, what other SF is playing at this level right now?

Good point - my Green glasses obstructed my view for a bit .

Barely, in the case of both of those players.

More like James is producing ridiculous numbers at the moment.

Seriously. I hate lebron, but the week where he won POTW, he had almost the same numbers as Pierce except he was scoring like 6 more points a game.
