I'm in full agreement. I think, though, that the lack of a
back-up handler may cause some problems against the press. But
with Pierce and Allen's open court skills, pressing the Celtics,
even without Rondo, should prove an often fatal mistake.

Hehe. Pay no attention to the man behind the plate of hot wings!

Seriously, Pierce has looked like the third banana so far. But
it's the preseason. I feel he'll find it very easy to become a
facilitator, rather than instigator. His shot selection has so
far been shaky.
