1. How good was Paul Pierce yesterday afternoon? P-square just put the Boston franchise on his back and had a game for the ages in a wonderfully played Game 7 against Cleveland. This was the best Celtics clutch performance since Larry Legend roamed the parquet floor. I suppose this puts to rest the debate on whom the man is in crunch time for the Celtics. With that said, I would still like to see Kevin Garnett assert himself more in key…

Thanks for the comment on the blog. we have four shooters: Raja, Barbosa, Giricek, and Nash. Don't think needing a shooter is the problem. I agree about needing a versatile defender on the wing, but it def wont be Josh Smith...unless he wants to play for about 2 million per year. It's stupid at this point to keep Nash and Shaq, because with the cap situation we cant add any high impact players and its a VERY unlikely scenerio that the team how it is now will win a championship...So get what you can out of Nash and Shaq because their value and abilities are only gonna go down from now on.
