they’ll have vlad on him.
1) vlad will crowd his jumper
2) pierce will take two dribbles and go to his favorite spin move
3) fish will slide over to take a charge

between paul pierce throwing his head back like he was getting stabbed back in 2000 during his spin move and fish getting knocked into the paint from a charge at the three-point line, this is the last time we’re going to see crazy flopping: enjoy it.

and yes, every team needs a reggie evans in case you’re getting out-rebounded and requires someone to pull the other guy’s balls. I call him reggie “the equalizer” evans.

I like Vlad. He’s definitely a cadet, but a harmless one. Sushi, I don’t think that Jerome James beat him out for time, and Reggie Evans is a pretty decent player – nothing wrong with that.

That having been said, he’s obviously not the one guy you want defending Pierce. Anyone have a better idea?

This is the same guy who was beat out by Reggie Evans and Jerome James for tick in Seattle. Sad panda for all LA fans. I can’t wait to see Odom and Vlad on the floor at the same time, both with the “deer in headlights” look. It’ll be fun.

When Vlad hit that clutch 3 to end it I hope he does the piss on your heart dance.

I don’t know if it’ll be that one-sided.
Vlad did a decent job guarding Melo in the Denver series.
What’s really going to be ugly is Ray and Posey trying to guard Kobe.

vlad is gonna get his minutes against the celtics 2nd unit. when posey comes in the game. he aint gonna have to guard pierce after the first 8 minutes.

I wouldn’t think Vlad is gonna get a ton of minutes this series. I think Kobe’s got to move over and guard Pierce and Sasha can chase Jesus.

“Vladimir Radmanovic must defend Paul Pierce.

With Lakers championship hopes perhaps riding on it.

Funny, huh?

“I don’t joke about things like that,” Radmanovic said after Tuesday’s practice. “People joke about things like that, I punch them.”"

Ha ha, Vlad is the fuckin man!
