Paul Pierce Enters “Hero Mode” Comes Out The Goat
A lot of people like to talk about Doc Rivers as a coach who “lucked into” the big three and his championship. They also like to call him a poor Xs and Os coach, and I totally disagree. Sure he has one of the best shooters in the history of the NBA, in Ray Allen, on his team. Other teams know about Ray Allen too though, and Doc Rivers is still able to come up with creative ways to get him the basketball with space to shoot late in important playoffs games.
That was the case here with Game 4 tied, however Paul Pierce tried to win the game himself. Instead, Pierce ended up losing the basketball, and eventually the game.
After bringing the ball upcourt, Rajon Rondo hands the ball off to Paul Pierce. As soon as Pierce secures the basketball, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen switch spots on the court.
