Taking Stock: Celtics - Suns

Found January 21, 2012 on Red's Army: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Paul Pierce,  Ray Allen,  Kevin Garnett,  Brandon Bass,  Mickael Pietrus,  Marquis Daniels,  Sasha Pavlovic,  Doc Rivers
TEAMS: Boston Celtics

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Avery Bradley: More good than bad for Avery last night.  The D on Nash was solid, he finished at the rim and he was 3-6 from 16-23 feet.  As much as I get on the guy for his long range inaccuracy, 50% from that distance is pretty good.  Here's hoping this spurs some confidence in the kid, which might be just what he needs. Paul Pierce:  He was asked to facilitate, which he did with 6 assists.  And early on, it looked like he was going to carry the team.  But he cooled significantly.  He started 3 for his first 5, then went 2 for his next 9.   Ray Allen:  8 shots for Ray.  Not good enough.  He passed up a few looks that he should have taken.

Time is truly no man’s friend. This is especially true for the Boston Celtics. The early struggles combined with their age has allowed the flood gates of rumors to open up.

Comments From the Other Side - Suns 1/20

Via Celtics Life  |  January 21, 2012
Well, that wasn't fun. It's pretty funny though how a team with a 37 year old point guard and a 39 year old power forward can talk so much about the Celtics being old. I don't think it's age as much as it is the pieces not fitting and no strong presence in the paint. Here's today's Comments from the Other Side... Rondo supposedly is out. Paul Pierce...

Various trade purposals

Beasley for McGee Any chance we could get in on a Paul Pierce or Ray Allen deal? Supposedly Ainge is interested in creating cap space to retool next season. Randolph, Pekovic, Johnson, Malcolm Lee. I'm curious to see what happens at the trade deadline this year. I feels like their could be quite a bit of movement with Dwight, Celtics, Rockets, whoever.
