    No KG this time though. The pressure is all on Paul.

    Did Pierce really think he was gonna get bailed out with 10 seconds left and the game on the line?

    No doubt. When B-Roy has the ball in his hands down 1 on a last-second possession, I'm pretty confident he'd win the game more times than not.

    That's what Paul Pierce thought too.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He's faced that basically every year of his career, though, prior to Allen and KG showing up. ;) And they won playoff games with him as the focal point.

    This word "awesome," I do not think it means what you think it means?

    I didn't say he is a choker, my friend. but that he choked in the clutch. Tough to tell if he did, but I think this is what I would consider choking.

    A mentally weak player who does that many times and has a reputation of it/makes habit of it is what i'd consider a choker. At least that is my opinion.

    What a dumbass question... "Were you aware of Kareem's scoring record for a playoff debut?"

    For the same reason they went to Glen Davis earlier in the game.


    They are stupid. Epic fail for not giving it to Pierce.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Right, I just don't think that makes sense. You can't MAKE shots go down. If you could, you'd hit every single one. Every player is limited by their abilities, and no one has the ability to hit every shot. I don't think it makes sense that an elite player "has to make every free throw in clutch situations." All they can do is shoot them at their best ability...which is like 80-85%.
