Boston Celtics Paul Pierce Has A Block Party In Cleveland
[picappgallerysingle id="9948249"]
One of the most under rated aspects of Paul Pierce’s game is his defense. When one scores over 20,000 career points, your defense often is an afterthought. Paul Pierce has always been a great help defender, but it seems like every year he gets a little better as a one on one defender or defending in transition. Other than the final moments of his game against LeBron James in 08, he does not get much respect at the defensive end.
Tuesday in Cleveland Pierce showed off some of his solid defensive skills with three blocked shots and 2 steals. The third quarter showed a three minute stretch where Pierce was a difference maker on the defensive end. Pierce blocked Mo Williams twice beautifully to stop the Cavs in transition. These blocks set up easy buckets by his teammates. The blocks also snuffed out any hope of a Cleveland rally.
Pierce is one of the greatest scorers of all time. However, do not forget he buys into Doc’s defensive system 100 percent. The result is Paul Pierce is a great becoming a great defender. Try to remember this despite the fact Pierce is pouring in the points on the offensive end. Remember Go green Or Go Home!!!!!!!!
