    In my opinion already had more different ways to score than any other 2 or 3 in the league, with the step back, all of his post up moves, and his great 3 point stroke. But now that toine is gone, Paul Pierce WILL lead the league in scoring,
    With the lineup theyll start, ( My guess, Banks - Brown or Jones - Pierce - Baker - Lafrentz) I think paul is going to be able to put up a lot of shots, Im guessing he averages 29 or 30 a game [​IMG]

    Last year he took most of the shots too. Teams will put more of their Defensive focus on him now that Walker is gone. So who knows what will happen. I think with his talent, he'll average atleast 25.

    If the Magic want to win more, T-Mac needs to drop his scoring a tad.

    PP will score 30 in my opinion.

    The Eastern Conference Frontcourts are weaker than the West. So if you can get someone going in the paint, a la Gooden or Howard from the Magic, good things will happen as most teams wont be able to counter it as well.

    So yes, if TMac wants to win, he'll have to share the ball more.

    Pierce will average around 28-29 ppg this season(my guess).

    But the Celtics will also be worse than last year. They could potentially slip out of the playoffs if Brown, Bell, and LaFrentz don't make good contributions night in, night out, to pick up for Walker's removal.

    Why doesnt my post make sense??
    tmac might get easier shots now, but he will take less.. so i think his ppg will def. drop.
    Anyways weve seen whats happened to orlando when tracy is the only guy shooting, if they want to make it out of the first round or even make the playoffs, the team will need more balance
