The fact that we ended up losing that series to the Nets somehow taints the comparison for me.

IT.

Hate to state the obvious, now at 2-2 vs Washington, but ................................

PP never had to HIDE on defense. He played BOTH ends.

John Wall was killing us that game and IT as our pg should have been all up on him....but we all know he is not capable of defense.

Personally I'm partial to Pierce's gane 7 against LeBron and the Cavs in the ECS of 2008.  Pierce dropped 41 in the 5 point victory and they needed every bit of it as James scored 45 and kept the Cavs in the game down to the wire.
