He just looked worse because guys like Mike Gminski didn't complain, whereas that caliber of player today does.
And, as much as a Celtics fan as I am, even I can admit that Pierce is near the top of that list. But, someone mentioned him making faces? He's really just ugly - don't hold it against him.
Anyway, that was just a horrid game all around for the Celtics. I'm sure all the talk around here today will be people trying to convince themselves that since the Celtics have bounced back from ass-kickings so far in the playoffs, they'll do it again. They just have to do it on the road, without Perk. The fact that it's Game 7 won't affect either of these teams, which is great.
I'm 99% sure the Celtics are done. If you look at the games they won, I'm pretty sure they won games 2 and 5 that were both sunday games with the extra day of rest. They also won game three, on a tuesday and without the extra day of rest, but this game was won by the bench and not the starters. Unless Pierce, KG, and Allen realize this is their last shot at a title in their careers and elevate to more than what we've seen this series, they are done. Otherwise, they are just too old to be playing with only one off day this late into the season.
