Shots Fired: Is Insulting of KG & Pierce a Good Idea?

ESPN thought this headline was certainly news worthy.

Is insulting former MVPs KG and Pierce a good idea? Vets have a way of showing up when they get insulted and while the Raptors have the better record, the Nets are the hotter team. Or is Toronto's attitude good for the game?

Eh. KG's way of responding with a big game nowadays means dropping 8/8.

Pierce just answered that in the interview. They were brought to Brooklyn because of the veteran experience, they are not supposed to put 25/20 pts each to win a Series.

Whenever Pierce/Kg have an off game it's because they're old, whenever Pierce/Kg have great games it's because they're experienced. They're just great hall of fame players who shouldn't be taken lightly in the playoffs and can still school today's all stars like Derozan in big games.
