Prediction
In the year 2008 I predict that Paul Pierces Points per Game (Career Season Avg.) will be around 24. The way I made this prediction was charting Paul Pierces averages over the past 5 years, my chart looked like this:
The chart represented the points that he gained or lost between the years. The minus sign meaning a loss of that number and the addition sign meaning the gain of that number. Paul Pierce seems to have a history of losses and I think that it is more likely that he has another loss than gain. However there is always a possibility that he could earn more points.
