The Little Things

After yesterday's game, Paul Pierce was asked to explain their two-game skid at home.

His answer?

"The little things. The little things are what separate wins from losses against the elite teams."

I hear that, and I think Danny does, too. If Danny stands pat, which he very well could, it will be because the below games were winnable, and Ainge will conclude that the Celtics simply need to figure out a way to win them.
