I'm sorry, had you not seen an NBA game prior to last night?
I mean really?
While I wasn't proud of the manufactured heroics, it's not like this hasn't happened before... As far as the "faked" foul against Kobe, cry me a fuckin' river. We had to go through Lebron, who wins the award for drawing the most phantom fouls in the LEAGUE. And don't tell me Kobe doesn't also get his fair share.
Be happy there's some good basketball being played in the finals and enjoy it instead of calling out PP, who isn't doing anything different than every other overpaid athlete out on the court.
He said he heard it pop and couldn't move it. I wonder how sore his knee will be for the rest of the series. Will it pop again later in the series. Who knows maybe he won't start or even be on the bench for game 2. Than after 3 minutes he'll come running out of locker room, rip off his superman outfit and enter the game. How dramatic would that be.
The idiots theory that he wasn't dinged now. Wow, the conspiracies are getting out of control. Let me as you this Zee? How many times did pierce drive to the hoop after getting hurt? Yeah, that is correct. That would be zero. Obviously was not playing like himself. He just happened to hit some big threes.
How the hell can you get carried off the court and then put into a wheelchair and then five minutes later be running out of the tunnel and finish the game appearing to be totally fine. It was over dramatic to say the least. I don't think it was a league wide conspiracy or anything like that but I do think it was a case of Paul Pierce being a bitch. You could tell before this happened he was really frustrated during the game.
Yeah he just scored 8 quick points to start the 2nd half and was on a roll, bringing his team back in the game single handedly, but yep, he wanted to get hurt.
The carrying off was obviously precautionary. Why walk on it, or put weight on it, until you have a better idea what it is. He obviously was not moving that well the rest of the way. Not attacking the rim at all.
It's all part of the game. Everybody at the bar was laughing their asses off when he came back after 2 minutes. But it worked. I saw James doing the same thing in a game last month. Paul wasn't driving to the basket but when he was out of the game, they showed him jumping up and down while cheering for his team.
after three knee surgerys, i can almost promise you that if it is hurt, he will have swelling and it will be very sore. if he had heard a pop, it may be a little more serious than he thinks.
i heard a pop six weeks ago and knew i tore something immediately[it was my calf].
being carried off the way they did was a little over done.
