[JohnnyTheBone]

Paul Pierce needs a wheelbarrow for his testicles.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Vinny D lol.

[shawnrbu]

Vinny Del Negro.

[hikeeba]

So...the Pierce iso only works when we're...in the lead?

[DannyDarwinism]

Haha, why the fuck don't you foul?

[Ed Hillel]

Not fouling there was horrible managing.

[radsoxfan]

Vinny Del Negro ladies and gentlemen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

2 second difference!!!!!!!!!

 

Even if he misses that shot, by the time they could get the rebound, there is less than a second left!!!!!!!

 

Unreal....

[Rudy Pemberton]

Truth! Suck it haters!

Phew.

I've finally figured out my love/hate relationship with Paul Pierce. 

 

I hate it when he does something stupid. And I love it when he does something good.

[BigSoxFan]

I think the Clippers should trade us Bledsoe for Doc

[bball831]

That was the dumbest sequence I've ever seen. Clippers going nowhere.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Best case scenario for the Clippers there was the shot missing, wasting another second or two as the ball bounces off the rim and comes down, then calling a timeout with about half a second left, assuming LAC grabbed the rebound cleanly. Just scary bad game management.

[Boston Brawler]

We should use our foul to give to clothesline Barnes.

I hate it when he does something stupid. And I love it when he does something good.

And over 15 years, the good holds a commanding lead over the stupid.

I look forward to beating Lamar Odom in the NBA Finals

C's win the 8-on-5 battle.

[Brickowski]

Poor 4th quarter.  Too many bad passes.  But I'll take the win.

Yup.  Need minimum 4-5 second difference to have time for a rebound an a timeout to have a couple seconds to run a play.

 

Were they just hoping the Celts would be confused and shoot early?  Thats the only way that strategy works.

[Mloaf71]

Are the Celtics really better with Bradley and without Rondo?  I think they may be.

[mikeot]

Sweet win, albeit too close for comfort.

[dhellers]

On the bright side, vs Miami and today PP and JT showed us some end-of-game-do-or-die clutch. 

[Stu Nahan]

They are better than with Rondo and everyone else watching. With Rondo and everyone involved... sigh, won't know this year.

[radsoxfan]

As a side note, Bledsoe was the best player on the floor for either team today.

regular season probably, in the playoffs no chance

[stp130]

Over .500, btw.

[radsoxfan]

Pierce shocked by VDN also....  Just brutal brutal coaching there.

Not in the first half.

About 30 seconds in, there is the worst travel I have ever seen. I think he took 7 steps. 

[Koufax]

On the +/- :  Starters -26; bench, + 36.   Quite a turnaround from earlier in the year.

For this team, it is kind of pointless to divide the players between "starters" and "bench. Bass is not one of the best 5 players. The "2nd unit" guards are more offensive minded. Jeff Green should, for age reasons, get at least as many minutes as Pierce.

Not in the first half.

 

You really can't admit when you're wrong, can you?

[Brickowski]

Sure I can, but no, I don't think Bledsoe played well in the first half, in which the Clips scored 40 points and gave up nearly 60.

Bledsoe's a fine player.  You seem to be making a judgement about him based on one half of one game played at what is usually 10 AM for him.  I don't love him, but he's not some slouch.  His PER is 18.77 this year, better than Pierce, Deron, Ibaka, Horford, Rondo, Love, Wall, Landry, and more.  You get the point.   PER isn't a be-all end-all stat, but it's pretty silly to do what you are apparently doing: making a judgement on the tiniest of sample sizes.
