I really don't think Pierce has changed a whole lot since the Garnett/Allen addition. We saw this before when more talent is added to the roster, Pierce fits in well. When Walker/Payton/Davis was on the squad, Pierce took less shots and played more efficient basketball, fitting into the changes that were made to the team. Now he's doing pretty much that same thing, and I think this is how he actually prefers to play the game. With such bad talent around him most of the time, he never really had the opportunity to play this way. Everything now is more amplified because of the spotlight he's in, with the winning record and championship glory on the line... but to us--or at least to me--he's still the same Pierce; he's not doing anything outside of what we've known he's capable of.
