This was a very winnable game. All it would have taken would have been Pierce 
to get his average, not 40 as you suggest. Chipping paint off the rims at a 
31% clip over the first two games from the team's best scorer won't cut it, 
though. 

Toine has stepped up and is shooting close to 50% from the field despite 
going primarily against O'Neil who is three inches taller and can elevate. 
Walter has stepped up. It's time for Pierce to do likewise. He better improve 
his shot selection pronto. Game 1 was a performance for the ages but that's 
old news now. 

As Janet Jackson would say "What have you done for me lately?"
