Wow, isn't it funny how each individual sees things.. I see things as Pierce
just playing poorly. In fact in a couple games he has contributed to losses
and crunch time..Am I down on Pierce, no. Is he playing poorly, yessss..ball
handling:poor...shooting:poor...rebounding:good...passing:less than
fair...court awareness:poor..defense:good..
