Bc Pierce attacked Durant.

Durant pulled the same move Allen did

Green came to his defense

but seriously, i am Paul's biggest fan, he should have retired last year if he knew that he was going to sit on the bench all year long. i bet he feels the same right now...

During the offseason

Along the lines of Durant is "buying a championship", "joining the team that beat you in the playoffs ?? Etc"

Green spat something back at Pierce, and now this

I like it when players hate eachother.

a bit cheap going after a guy so far after his prime, but the more vitriol the better in my opinion.

I'd love to see Draymond try being the best player on a team just once in his career. He'd find his place real quick.

Great role player. Know your role, Draymond. Don't talk to hall of famers.
Amen.  TP.  PP is a made man!

Kerr should put a leash on Green

Popovich would never let a clown behave like this in public

Its just one thing after another

Easily one of the most hateable players in the league. Besides kicking people in the nuts, he talks bigger than his game. I hope he never wins another ring.

He is a terrific player

Heart of that warriors team

But this was uncalled for and disrespectful

Paul Pierce should have just responded "who the hell are you?" Instead of the response he fired back.... Bc the Celts also got burnt against the Lakers the 2nd time in the finals and there is no point of indirectly taking aim at, kerr, thompson, curry

I agree, draymond needs to grow up and try not to be such a jerk.  PP just said what almost everyone else who follows the NBA said about KD when he joined GS.

I don't like what Green said and maybe the tech he got later was bad karma or something for it, but Pierce's criticism of Durant was flawed. Here's part of it:
Quote
And Oklahoma, I felt like, was a contending team. They had Golden State on the ropes. I understand when you have great players on losing teams who are tired of losing, struggling in the playoffs every year. You’re the lone star. I’ve been in that position. I could have left Boston years ago, but I stuck it out. I just feel like when you’re that close, as a competitor, you don’t go join the team that just put you out.

The objective is to win the title and the Thunder hadn't beaten the Cavs once since Lebron's return. He didn't believe the Thunder could beat them. Further, Pierce was ready to leave the Celtics before the arrival of KG and Ray Allen.

Pierce is/was one of the most notorious trash talkers in the game.

I have a hard time believing Pierce was just sitting there quietly and Green just started yelling that stuff at him.  Personally, sounds closer to good natured ribbing to me.

What's more disrespectful, "you thought you was Kobe?" or "You're the ugliest brothers in the league by far!"  With the ugliest brothers comment, he not only trash talked the opponent but his own teammate ;)



This Scal quote from a couple of years ago seems appropriate now:

Quote
Paul Pierce is the greatest trash talker I’ve ever encountered in this league.

Draymond Green holds the crown now, but Paul Pierce was in a class of his own for many, many years.

Paul’s trash talk was devastating because he’s so witty and smart. I mean, the guy is off the charts smart. It’s one thing to say something outrageous or offensive to throw someone off, but I would hear Paul just cut through guys with his words. And the fact that he was so respected made his insults hurt even more. Nobody wants to get told they’re human garbage by The Truth.

You can see why Paul’s had so much success with poker. He understands how to employ psychological warfare to his advantage. To him, that’s all part of the game. He didn’t back down from any player, and there was never a time when he appeared rattled. Guys could try to talk smack back at him but it wouldn’t get through. He was too ice cold on the court.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class
