Well we won the game, so hard to get down on him too much, but....
1) If Pierce doesn't miss a FT then we lose this game because VDN again left us without a timeout in a crucial situation where we need one. Seriously, someone needs to smack this man around and tell him to stop using all our damn timeouts so early.
2) In OT they kept getting switches over and over where Pierce was iso'd on Rose at the FT line while Rose had 5 fouls. It's a miracle that he didn't get a foul call on Rose and that he didn't score every single possession in this situation as well. You have to get the team to get the ball out of Pierce's hands there when Rose can't even defend him strong and would be at a tremendous disadvantage even if he could, and pierce is in range where he's money on a fadeaway with a guy 5 inches shorter than him guarding him.
We did win the game, but VDN put us in a position to lose, and we got some luck.
