Pierce will win NBA player of the Week.

[TheTruthFot18]

i was thinking this.. he deserves it. this has been his best stretch of games in a long time, near triple doubles every night, i don't ever remember him putting those numbers up.

I remember a stretch in '05-'06 when he was tearing it up. He went over 30 in a franchise-record 8 straight and passed Bird with an exclamation point, a triple-double.

This stretch reminds me of that one. He's doing everything out there - scoring from everywhere on the court, defending, rebounding, and o yeah, running the point.

Our Captain is officially back!

Was thatthe stretch of games that got him his nickname from Shaq. After dropping 30+for like the fifth straight game and doing it on the Lakers, didn't Shaq determine Pierce was "The Truth"? Or was that the 2001-02 season? Yeah maybe that was earlier in his career.

Correct, Shaq gave him his nickname back in '01-'02 (can anyone believe that was a decade ago?).

This stretch I remember vividly, and can only imagine the stretches KG and Ray put up in their primes. Although it is a shame they couldn't team up earlier, better late than never.

Holy moly, if it wasn't for that one 20 point 'mishap' he would have had 14 consecutive games over 30 points.  I remember that streak but I didn't remember it as being that crazy.  That's crazy.

That is crazy. Gotta love The Truth!

It's ugly and boring and I would say that even if I didn't detest the Heat and all the hype surrounding that team.

Lebron deserved it. Jerseys are irrelevant. Pierce played great but the two were very similar statistically except Lebron averaged 7 more points and won all his games.

Perhaps if Pierce played as many minutes as Lebron he could have surpassed him statistically.

But with LeBron's numbers, shouldn't he be Player of the Week every week?

I think he's won it 4 of the first 5 weeks so far...so yeh

Paul needed to lead his team to an undefeated week in order to snatch it from Lebron.

But bottomline is, I don't care about the award so as much as Paul getting back to form.
