To be fair, it was a good shot that rimmed out. And nobody was draped all over him. Change those glasses Danny boy. But you are true to form as you have been for the last few years. Praise them when they win and diss someone when they lose.
It was better when you constantly wrote about the 5 minute game :-)

In OB's defense the Devil made him do it.....what do you think...OB has the
balls to call the play for Baker or whoever except Pierce.....r u
kidding....trouble was it was designed for PP and he wasn't going to look
for a 2nd option..... a mortar shot was the result...no ball
movement....11secs in the NBA is an eternity to get a decent shot off.......
I picked up early this season on the different Pierce....he ain't looking good....too many brain dead moments.....maybe, just maybe something else is wrong with him besides basketball ability.....
