Paul Pierce will have a great game tonight

[Drucci]

I'm predicting it, after two disappointing games, especially the end of game 2, Paul will bounce back tonight. His postgame comments are going in the same way :

"We feel very confident because we feel like we haven't even played good basketball yet,'' Boston's Paul Pierce said. "Our best is yet to come.''

Can't wait to see him perform tonight.

this worked for Ray Allen, so i'll agree.

I hope this is a case of everyone was playing kind of uptight at home (especially with the last minute Garnett news before the series started) and they will be more relaxed on the road. 

Defense is key.  Hear me now...if we hold them to only scoring in the 90's, we win easily. 

Plus, Chicago's defense has been blocked shots and that's it.  If we don't serve up soft stuff at the rim and we don't turn the ball over, hopefully no transition for them and we score around 110 again.

No one on the Bulls can come close to stopping him, I expect a monster game.

Paul Pierce's stats from game 3 : 24 points, 9/15, 4/8 beyond the arc in 27 minutes and now he's getting a well deserved rest.

We should start these kind of threads more often, it worked for Ray and now it has worked for Paul too!

Drucci you must be some kind of prophet.  Who's next?  Perk?

This is awesome for Pierce that he played so little. Keep him fresh. Good job by Doc from sitting him early in the first quarter, bringing in Marbury to play some SG, and simply extend Rondo's minutes (hopefully his ankle will hold up through the series).

i dunno. he may be disinterested.  way to show the naysayers,Truth.

Wake up at about 6:45 tomorrow and start a post "Redz is going to have a spectacular day today"

Bill Simmons says he is out of gas having played in so many playoff games last year.

I think he is saving his energy for when we need him the most (Cleveland).

Kobe and LeBron would be even more out of gas playing all summer.

Nicely done Drucci, TP!
