NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Paul Pierce became a tough player last year and now wants to be even better.
This season, Pierce has picked up right where he left off. He scored 27 points against the Cavs in the Celtics’ opener and helped limit LeBron to 22 points on 21 shots. He was the game’s best player that night, attacking James from the start with a hard-charging dunk for his team’s first points of the season. And following that up with a change-of-pace, baseline-dribble attack, banging LeBron down and then hitting him with a reverse. It was an old man’s bucket, coming after a young man’s dunk.
It set the tone for who Pierce is going to be this season: Everyman. Points, boards, defense, intangibles. He no longer seems worried about style. Instead, he is locked in on the substance of his team’s performance, yet is still comfortable being the man when the matchup calls for it.
After years of watching Paul Pierce be a scorer and not much else you are now seeing Paul Pierce as a winner!
