Our new go to guy

[CelticConcourse]

Pierce is no longer a viable solution every time.

Who should it be?

[Change]

Jason Terry

[CelticConcourse]

Lee, maybe?

Terry... Slumping. Rondo, KG....?

Bass, Green, Bradley... Nah

[esel1000]

no one... thats our problem.

rondo isnt the go to guy on a team. he needs to play with a go to guy, his game is designed around setting up others for easy shots (i.e the big 3 in their prime).

pp and kg can't be expected to carry a team on a nightly basis anymore. as much as I hate to say it, we need a carmelo anthony

[Who]

Rondo is the best creator on the team. He has been for quite a long time now.

[GreenFaith1819]

I still like Pierce in this role, but he needs help.

This team needs help, or just more time to gel.

I'm going to go with the former, here.

Rondo pretty much carry this team. Pierce is done.  I think making him come from the bench won't hurt at this point or dramatically decrease his PT.

[Atzar]

Rondo.  When he's invested, he's this team's best scorer now.

Pierce had one blistering stretch this year where he was lighting everybody up and scoring from all over the court, but in general he's been inefficient at best and ineffective at worst.

Jared Sullenger or Jeff Green

[CelticConcourse]

I wonder why KG never gives us go-ahead game winners, ever. He's never been given the chance and likely does not want to take blame if he misses.

Coming into the season, Rondo was expected to be this guy.  Unfortunately, his jumper, while improved, isn't respectable enough to the point where teams are going to fight over screens for him.

Until Rondo can get a good, solid jumper, he won't be an ideal option for a crunch-time bucket.  If he can, though, he'll be deadly.  That mixture of jump-shooting, driving ability, and passing is scary.

Lol, nice baseless conjecture.

I do agree with the first part of that sentence though - I think a KG jumper is much better than what Pierce normally comes up with in the clutch these days.

[GreenFaith1819]

At this point, I'd be rather shocked if Danny doesn't do an about face and make a trade.

I'm starting to get convinced that this team needs more than what we have right now.

The funny thing with this team is that - unlike the Lakers - we've actually beaten some good - even elite - teams...with AB and without.

Just don't know what is wrong.

To be honest, Paul Pierce not making the ASG is a GOOD thing...stay home, Paul. Get some rest.

The man will more than likely still have to do more of the same heavy lifting for this team after the ASG.

I hope he has some help by then.

In all his years, he mostly has taken jumpers when already tied, with not much to lose. With his personality and skill, it's almost guaranteed he doesn't want the shot. He rarely takes game winners when down 1. I think he just doesn't want to, whether it be to save face or he just isn't clutch, which is doubtful.

We get it.  You don't like Rondo and you would blame him no matter how good he is or how sensational he is such as tonight's game.  It's getting old
