Biggest off-season signing in the East....

I vote for Pietrus. If Boston had signed him and not balked at the $, all 3 teams (orlando, boston, cavs) would have been impacted much differently. He made a huge impact against the Celts and now is giving the Cavs fits.

You are 110% correct Driver.
But I didn't know the Celtics had a shot at him? Knew they went after Corey Maggette and Posey but wasn't aware of Pietrus.

what about Mo Williams? You're talking about a t 6th man in Pietrus. Yes, he is a good player, but Williams was an all-star.

the Cavs had to lobby for Mo to be an All-Star replacement......... Pietrus played Boston tough and now is outscoring the entire Cavs bench while guarding Lebron

Mo has been shooting < 30% this series and may end up that way tonight.

From my recollection, Boston had the cap space to sign Pietrus and decided to go after Tony Allen and someone else instead of meet the higher salary range for P

Post-season > regular season, IMO

I will agree that Mo has played bad in this series, and usually a few games shouldnt be the deciding factor, but if ORL wins I would be stupid to not agree that Pietrus was the deciding factor, or Mo on the bad sad for that matter.
