Who is more important to the Celtics RIGHT NOW. Pierce or Rondo?

[thestackshow]

The Celtics are unlike any other team in the league, they work like a machine, without one part the machine doesent work.

Rondo Pierce and KG are the 3 parts that make this team run.

KG the defense.

Rondo the quarterback.

Pierce the offense.


They all have equal importance and that what makes this team great.

[lightspeed5]

both equal.

[BASS_THUMPER]

yep
need them both

thunder and lightning

[nickagneta]

Pierce = Celtics heart

KG = Celtics soul

Rondo = Celtics mind

Have any of these things go and the Celtics body will die.

Pierce = Celtics heart

Ray Allen = Celtics Work Ethic

Avery Bradley = Celtics Determination

Doc Rivers = Celtics Engine/Glue

Ubuntu is the most important player on this team.

We are Borg.

I mean, come on, this is a team game. We have a big 4 for a reason. Bass slots in perfectly with 'm, as do Bradley, Stiemsma and perhaps a couple of others.

We're a unit. A squad. We thrive on having everyone contribute.

That's the thing with this team. Ask any Heat fan and they'd give you a definitive answer. Or any fan from any other team. This team has KG, Pierce and Rondo equivalent in importance.

Pierce.  And KG has never been the MVP of this team, it's always been Pierce.

[Celts Fan 92]

Pierce's impact is horribly slept on by the fans and media he's the closer nd go to guy in the 4th for a reason, he's been our leadin scorer for bout 13 years straight for a reason

[guava_wrench]

Doesn't matter because we are in the playoffs and we won't get far if either is missing.

[Celtics17]

I think it's real close as to who's more valuable right now. Without Rondo the ball movement slows down the already poor offense. Without Pierce though we really have no go to scorer. I'd almost have to flip a coin here. I'll have to say Rondo is more important because without team offense you don't need a 'go to scorer' because you are not going to be in enough close games that it will matter.

[Kuberski33]

Pierce is the only guy they have who can shoot off the dribble and create his own shot.  Take him out and they totally fall apart offensively.

Doesn't matter because we are in the playoffs and we won't get far if either is missing.

Probably the smartest thing said in this thread.
