What!!! That's...that's Paul Pierce's music!!!!

[Berry, Mark S]

He's on a strict minutes limitation -- no more than 15 minutes total and
no more than three minutes at a time. There is only one sane explanation
for doing this -- they're trying to show he's healthy enough to trade.
Isn't that the only thing that makes sense? I honestly can't come up
with another logical reason for rushing him back when they're still
concerned enough that they won't let him play more than three minutes at
a time.

The trade deadline is two weeks away.

>WEEI is reporting Paul Pierce to play tonight against the Nets.

Isn't this the Paul Pierce who spent two days in the hospital
within the past week for an infected elbow?  Hard to believe
the knock on Paul when he entered the league was he was
"soft."

Back when I heard he'd spent the summer after he was drafted
taking hundreds of shots a day while having the ball boy call
out the names of the players chosen ahead of him, I thought,
"Hm.  Maybe not so soft."

No one now can deny his toughness, or his will to win.  But
is he just a more-talented Toine?  Or will he finally "get it,"
and make everyone around him better?

Having seen Kobe, Lebron, and Dwyane, I don't think Paul
will ever play at that level.  But he could do some damage.
