I agree...seems like they're (everybody) tryin' to crown 'em...I felt some way when they called him the 3rd best forward...

Boy is a baller...but I gripped my armrest everytime he took a shot last year. Vernon Maxwell style.

PG has to be the most overrated player in the nba. You're right, they're crowning this kid already. Call me when he averages over 25ppg(hell, even 20) in a season before we start calling him the 3rd best SF in the league. Get his low ppg and shytty FG% the fukk outta here.

bill simmons is such a fukking homer

dis nikka really believes paul pierce is gonna have a monster years
avg 18pts in 28 minutes

:snoop:

Why is that far-fetched? Pierce averaged 19ppg on 50% FG shooting the second half of the season. Pierce isn't going to be drawing double teams anymore, and he's going to get a lot of open looks. Pierce averaging those kind numbers isnt far-fetched at all. Hs is Paul Pierce for peeks sake. :camby:

I'll leave it with this, If Pierce is driving to the lane the way he did against Mia the last pre-season game, it's a wrap for the league. Ain't nobody fukking with the Nets with Pierce driving to the hole like it's the mid 00s.

I agree. this nikka PG put up 17ppg on poor shooting. and especially poor given his size and athleticism. These cats are nuts talkin like dude is better than melo and shyt :camby:

I'm not even convinced roy hibbert is an elite center. dude sucked more than half of the year last year, and how u gonna be a legit 7'2" and only pull like 8 boards a game??? :aicmon:

There's always a new dude every season that people get behind... George was that dude last season. Paul George is the Indiana version of Luol Deng. I hate and despise Melo's game like the next person, but with Pierce being old, Melo is clearly that third SF.

Why would Pierce need 20 shots per game to average 18ppg?? You know nothing about basketball let alone Paul Pierce. GTFOH with your dumbass post. :camby:
And I never said Pierce is playing 28mins a game. I said Pierce averaging 18ppg and shooting a high FG % is possible on this team. Pierce should be playing over 30mins a game.

There were seasons where Pierce averaged 18ppg on just 12shots per game playing with Ray Allen and KG.. Like I said, you know nothing about Paul Pierce's game. Please stfu.

Before KG and Ray got to Boston, Pierce was averaging 25ppg and made 5 all-star teams, you moron.

The 2001 Celtics isn't even one of the top 5 teams Pierce has ever played on. In fact those early 00s Celtics teams had some of the worst collection of talent in the nba, yet Pierce still managed to carry them to an ECF appearance.:camby:
Stop speaking on shyt you know nothing about.
