per Paul Pierce twitter: "It's been a pleasure to bring my talents to south beach now on to Memphis"

Awesome.  I bet LeBron is wondering "what he should do" in response...

And that is exactly how Pierce gets in his head.

LeBron is weak minded.

I found this interesting, from Wojo's article:

Quote
“For myself, 44 minutes is too much,” James declared. “I think Coach Spo knows that. Forty minutes for D-Wade is too much. We have to have as much energy as we can to finish games out.”
I actually agree with LeBron's assessment, he was gassed by the last few minutes of the game.

But whining about playing too many minutes when you were the only thing keeping the Heat in the game? Its not like the C's starters weren't playing big minutes.

Nice quote by Paul.  BTW, what's nice about this win is we've already clinched at least a tie in the season series.  Could be very useful if we're neck and neck in April.

With their bench, what is spoel supposed to do?

LeBron's statement sure won't help chemistry - I guess he thinks it's time to shop for a new coach...

All this means is that Lebron will come out with another commercial.....
I'm looking forward to the "How should I respond" commercial and then the Cleveland response

"How should you respond? Admit what you are and don't come back"

I think he should have stolen a few minutes of rest for LeBron in the second half somewhere. (when Pierce sat to start the 4th quarter)

I don't blame spols for playing him the whole half, he was keeping them a float. But just as Doc has to give Rondo rest, so does spols with LeBron.

1. When is the last time you heard a Celtics player complaining about having to play too many minutes?

2. Pierce is so much smarter than Lebron it is painful. It takes him less than 140 words to diss Lebron, while Lebron requires an ad agency and millions of dollars to produce a ridiculous commercial to try and make us feel bad for him.

3. I dislike Lebron so much and love Paul Pierce. Class versus the Ass.

This is the problem:  Spoelstra doesn't have enough balls to coach Lebron.  

Nobody has since Paul Silas, who got lots of TP's from me for saying (in response to a reporter's question "what more can Lebron do?") that Lebron could perhaps play some defense.  And Silas got sacked.

If someone with Pat Riley's temperament and reputation were coaching, he could "rest" Lebron right next to him on the bench next game.

I remember a game early in Doc's tenure when Paul didn't get out on the break fast enough.  Doc "rested" him for a few minutes in the 4th, and Paul was livid at being taken out.  It sent a clear message, though, and the team was better for it.

Just another reason to add to the list of why I love Paul Pierce.



On a side note, has anyone ever heard of a big time superstar complaining about playing toooo many minutes?? Seriously? Unreal!

+1.

Also liked Bill Simmons tweet: "Note to ESPN.com: can we add a ".500 Line" graphic to our Heat Index that shows users if they're above or below .500?"
