Cheap shot artists are an affront to the Celtics Blog


Bleacher report [ aka Victor Cortez ] states that Paul Pierce is the most overrated player in the NBA, in his obviously not so humble opinion.

While there are any number of players who can be considered as overrated in the NBA, and a few who might reach the pinnacle that he extends to P.P.,  in this case, he's just blowing smoke, and is being downright insulting to a more than likely future hall of famer, who, in his career with the usally underachieving Cs [ until last season ] ranks around third in all time Cs scoring in his 10 year span with the team.

Without the triumvirate of Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, banner no.17 would not have been hoisted. It took the combined efforts of a very unselfish trio, backed up by a decent center and a young point guard, along with a fairly decent bench to do it, along with a coaching sytem that got the best out of the group- both offensively and defensively.  If any one of the trio had not been able to play, a la Garnett, the team wouldn't have gotten any further than it did this season, as all three stars had their role to play. Granted, Garnett was the driving force behind the defense, but take away either the fine shooting hand of Allen, or the key  plays of Pierce, along with thier defense, and the team would have foundered at some point.

Stay in the bleachers where you belong, or take your opinions to a Lakers blog, as it sounds as though you may have come from there.

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

It makes more sense to say that Ray Allen is the most overrated of the Big Three (even though i don’t agree) than to say Paul Pierce is. This guy is off his chain.
