Re: Pierce is a benafactor

[Mister Ghost <mister_ghost@yahoo.com>]

What you say may be true from an offensive perspective,
but the results Pierce achieves on the defensive end are the
byproduct of his own latent ability. An ability so vastly superior
to anyone else on the C's except Bruce Bowen.  Offenisvely,
Pierce may be benefactor of Anotine's presence, but defensively
Pierce is on his own.  I also think one could argue that
Antoine also benefits from Pierce's presence, especially those
nice feeds Pope Paul dishes off to Toine as he drives to the 
hoop.
