The C’s are struggling out there. Chicago leads 53-44 at the break, Paul Pierce has been nonexistent so far. The 2008 NBA finals MVP has four points on 1 of 4 from the floor. Ray Allen has four points on 1 of 7 from the floor.
Pierce, obviously shouldn’t be counted out. Maybe he’s just pacing himself. Boston needs a heavy dose of him in the second half. And Rajon Rondo must do a better job on Derrick Rose, who has looked every bit like a No. 1 overall pick. The up-and-coming point guard has a game-high 13 points.
Boston is only at 39.1 percent from the floor. The C’s need offense, fast. Pierce is the man to deliver it.
Let’s see what he can do.
