    this is in a league where a point is awarded for every asist, rebound steal block and point, and a point is taken off for every tech and turnover,

    this mtie seem like a obvious pick for pierce, but since brent left seatle maybe allen mite emerge to be the betetr pick, and now boston has lots of pplayers who can step up and play (and possibly payton)

    Same here, Allan has got a better shot and he is playing under his new contract [​IMG]

    Allen, he'll hit a higher FG%, he's a better shooter all around, and will get like 0.5 less assists, so it's not biggie.

    Also Pierce's 3PT shooting has been horrible the last three years, and I'd take Ray.

That's why I would pick Pierce. He will score more, rebound more, steal more, and block more. He does get alot of TOs but he'll still rack up more fantasy points for you than Allen.

    I'd take Allen over Pierce any day.

    If shooting clips aren't a category, you've got to go with Pierce. He will put up better numbers, and his TOs will go down if Ricky can get back to his best, Raef healthy and GP doing a lot of ball-handing.

    Given they take points off for turnovers, i'd take Ray Allen.

    Obviously Pierce is more productive across the board, but when you factor in Pierce's turnovers, you'd put Allen ahead of him.
