I like seeing the team do well with him, but it seems stupid to have your star play 40 minutes a night when the season is already lost.
Yeah, but do you think Doc is that stupid? Surely Ainge has his mind made up by now, and a few late season wins are not going to change his mind.
That's probably true, but you never know with Doc. The only other reason I can think of is Pierce just being stubborn/determined.
