Paul Pierce Page 4 - Sports News, Headlines & Highlights
The Mavericks have time to figure out what a Luka-KP led contender looks like, or if one even can
When Googling the phrase “Dončić Porzingis,” the first hits all direct you to stories about their relationship, chemistry, and beef. [As of this writing, at least.] That’s not to say there’s friction between the current two Dallas Mavericks cornerstones, but rather, the outside hunger for there to b...
Marcus Smart passing Larry Bird on all-time Celts’ 3-pointer list is a wake-up call
It’s not a revelation that the NBA today is heavier on three-pointers than it’s ever been. Teams are taking more threes per game than ever before — 34.7 per game, per team, and with good reason: at 36.7 percent, this season’s success rate is the highest of all time....

Wizards and Beal should consider parting ways
Ray Allen didn’t ask to be traded when it was clear he probably should’ve done so if he wanted to win. Not when the Milwaukee Bucks sent him to the Seattle Sonics in season seven, and not when the Sonics shipped him to the Boston Celtics before season 12....
Paul Pierce Has Spent The Last Day Rotating Over The Flame Like A Rotisserie Chicken

Paul Pierce Is Getting Desperate
It’s been a rough time to be Paul Pierce as of late. Since boldly proclaiming that he was better than Dwyane Wade, he’s been the constant ridicule of seemingly anyone who could come up with a joke to make at his expense. Things started just moments after his claim when Jalen Rose read off a list of ...
Heat Fans Made Sure To Give Paul Pierce A Memorable Send-Off, Too
Dwyane Wade’s year-long retirement tour reached its climax last night, when Wade started and played 34 minutes in his final home game as a member of the Miami Heat (this thanks to the Detroit Pistons, whose comeback win against the Grizzlies eliminated the Heat from the playoffs). Wade said goodbye ...
I'm Tired Of Hearing About The 2008 Celtics!<em></em>
Many many years ago, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo were coworkers in Boston. Doc Rivers was their coach. They won the 2008 NBA championship together; then, later, some of them went on to work in other places. Some of them don’t really like each other. They don’t all come to ...

Jalen Rose Tells Paul Pierce He's Being Petty About The Isaiah Thomas Video Tribute Fracas
Paul Pierce has made a big stink about the Celtics having the audacity to briefly honor Isaiah Thomas with a short video tribute before the Cavs visit the Celtics next month, and now that Thomas has formally asked the Celtics not to thank him, Pierce looks like a selfish asshole. Rather, as Jalen Ro...
Paul Pierce Really Didn't Want Isaiah Thomas Anywhere Near Paul Pierce Night
On February 11, the Cavs will visit Boston for the second and final time this season, and a very brief tribute was planned for Isaiah Thomas, who was traded away in the Kyrie Irving deal last summer—it was to be a short video played before pregame introductions. That was beyond the pale for Paul Pie...

The 2008 Celtics Went On TV And Whined About Ray Allen [UPDATED]
The stars of the 2008 Boston Celtics are, somehow, still mad at former teammate Ray Allen for leaving Boston in 2012 and signing with the Miami Heat.

The Warriors And Clippers Still Don't Like Each Other Very Much
What was once an intense rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers has cooled some lately.
