Was this addressed to me? I didn't say anything about Pierce... I was  
simply agreeing with Ryan's sentiment, at least in one sense; I want  
somebody on the team to get a "I'm mad about this and we're not going  
to take it anymore!" type of attitude. Something along the lines of  
the speech Antoine gave Pierce in that game against the Nets back  
when. Certainly some or all of the Celts have been angry, but it's not  
been in beneficial, we're-going-to-lay-the-smack-down kinda way; it's  
been a "How dare you talk trash to me! How dare you show me up!" etc.  
sort of thing -- which is leading to the "me-first" type of offense. I  
don't think Pierce is the only offender in this.

Regarding the +10pts run, and the loss of it... I noticed more that we  
got it with Rondo, and gave it away with Eddie House.

I'm hoping the change of venue, and the seriousness of the situation  
will get the C's back on track, but I think there's a very real danger  
of them losing this series because they've been so unnerved by the  
last 2 games. Well, that and some of Doc's curious decisions.
