This Neggative "spin" isn't completely accurate.  As John Adams once said, "Facts are stubborn things."
   
   Pierce went injured after the loss to Golden Stateon 12/20.  If you count that loss, when it was obvious to anyone who knows basketball  that he wasn't quite right, the team was 10-14.  I'm not sure why 4 losses were tacked on by the poster.
   
  Right before that loss the team was gelling and had put together a 5 game winning streak.  If you furhter study the losses, you see that 6 of them came against what are currently the top 32 teams in every division in the East, plus losses against Phoenix and Utah.
   
  Without the injuries, this was a playoff team.  No doubt in my mind.

We were 10-18 when Pierce went down.
