Lol, i dont think any Celtics fan can have anything bad to say about Pierce after the way he played this season.

Curmudgeon wrote:Nope, and the fact that Pierce has improved so dramatically this year, particularly at the defensive end, absolutely justifies my criticism of his play in prior years.
Until this year, he was playing like crap compared to what he was capable of, and he deserved every bit of the criticism I gave him. This year he's turned himself into a basketball player instead of just a chucker, and it's a pleasure to watch.

2. Put Bibby on the bench. He can't control Rondo. Unfortunately, the Hawks don't have too many viable alternatives, but I'd try Stoudamire.
3. Joe Johnson has to stop trying to dribble into the teeth of the Celtics' defense.
4. Hit the offensive glass.
The Hawks could win a game or two in this series if they can do the things I've listed above, although I doubt that they will. The Celtics are too focused.

Will Curmudgeon ever make another appearance on the Boston Celtics forum?
