Heres my thing about paul pierce, i’ve watched him play many games and how his outlook on how his emotions play into things.But now i feel like he is getting out of hand, in this series he acts as though its still him and bench full of wack players. He will never be able to say he carried a team with him being the only superstar like some other great players because he can’t. I would rather watch him whine and cry and play a good game, than to watch him act like he’s the best when they now have about 11 other all star players sitting on the bench. So he gets no credit from me. Now i’m watching the championchip series and im just diappointed because i’m a celtic fan and i see all the good all stars like KG and Ra Taking in their victory peacefully and showing maturity because they are aware that they are a powerful team. But paul pierce still a bad basketball player, so whether he whines or crys about his ankle of all the fakeness he plays with to draw or get fouls its not going to matter. He has to step up and be an all star if he thinks hes a good bball player. Thats just my opinion.
`Peace

One does not come back after 1 minute and 45 seconds from any injury requiring you to be carried off the floor and going to the locker room in a wheel chair. Pierce faked or at least greatly over exaggerated the “injury” in order to give his team the momentum and emotion necessary to win the game. Pierce better watch out for karma or he might really be injured before this series is over.

Karan it’s not illegal. Nowhere in my post that I said it was illegal.. I said it was dramatic like a soap opera. Go to NBA.com and read their Pierce article.. if he came back then he didn’t have injury so why do they continue to write “Pierce heroically comes back with injured knee” It shows that he wasn’t injured just overreacted so why do they keep playing the “i’m injured but i got back to win the game”

Like I said, he’s a good actor. And I agree from the posts.. he’s a flopper too.

Plaske (spelling ?) is the most dislikeable sports writer I can think of. I am a Celtics fan, but also a LONGTIME Dodger fan. I couldnt bear to read Plaske’s Dodger articles in the LA Times. They were always extremely negative toward both the team and management. And not even particularly informative or humorous. Just negative. He was so bad I stopped getting my Dodger fix from the LA Times and went elsewhere.I’m not a fan of “Around the Horn” on TV in any case, but it’s at it’s worst when Plaske is part of it. I wonder if he has ever played a real sport. I can imagine him playing golf, frisbee and kick the hankee.

i dont see why this is being made into such a big deal.
firstly, to respond to ‘LakerWilWin’, i doubt that stern really wants celtics to win… stern has said it several times that lakers are the real crowd pullers.
secondly, i dont see anything wrong with getting the crowd pumped up. how is that, in any shape or form, illegal? it seems like laker fans do not want to admit they were outplayed, so they’re looking for different excuses to blame it on.

Also, I personally think it was a natural, albeit a little “over-the-top” reaction, but only because dude was probably scared/pissed & IN PAIN…

the return to the game was dramatic but why not? if it pumps up the crowd & gets youre teamates hype (Cassell was downright giddy!) than why the hell not! If its gonna help the team, I’m doing cartwheels out the tunnel!

he was hurt & then realized, “hey it aint so bad, so let me get back out there & bring Banner 17 to the Bean…”..would you rather he stay in the locker room so that dudes like Plaschke dont accuse him of faking?

There is a difference between “crybaby/whiny/ate a poop sandwich face” & being a flopper

I HATE that face P-double makes all the time & I’m a diehard fan…BUT he is NOT a flopper.

Make yourselves clear, there is a difference between crying/whining & flopping.

BTW – YOUNGFED YOURE A BITCH…I read this all the time and you have NEVER made an objective (or valuable) comment. I’m calling you out because you make me sick! LOL…for real dude, you can’t ever just be an unbiased fan of the game. Plus, personally I think its hilarious how you try to speak intelligently sometimes, yet misspell the most elementary of words.

You guys are probably stupid or blind. Of course he faked it. Stern wants Boston to win and Boston knows drama. This injury faking guy “faked” his injury and then suddenly comes back just to hype the audience. He probably saw that the audience were quiet or his teammates are not doing well. What an actor. He should be an actor and not a basketball player.
