Just like everyone else in New England, I wanted Pierce out of Boston after last years antics after the game 7 loss to Indiana. However, this year, he is shooting a high percentage, is the best rebounding guard in the league, teaching the younger players to be professionals, and getting a ton of assists. Not to mention he has no problem shutting down the other teams top wing player. He held Tmac to 14 tonight, and when he plays HU against the likes of kobe, mcgrady, lebron, etc. he consistently outperforms them.

You heard it here first, Paul Pierce is a professional who is going to take these "rebuilding" Celtics to the top of the Atlantic Division with 47 wins. And oh yea, pick up the league's most valuable player award.
