Was a good team win in the end, but Pierce was the catalyst. I hope this serves as a teaching lesson. Helped keep everyone engaged in a professional manner.

Pierce hands-down, he did what Randy has failed to do in similar situations. Randy did later make adjustments however.

It's always Wall or someone else. Usually when I vote for the other player, it's because it gets a bit boring to vote Wall 40+ times per year .
This time, though, the other is the truth... Double P is player of the game, and Exculpatory is one happy man.

Truth was simply brilliant. Told ya there would still be occasional TRUTH MONSTER games - even at age 37. On the second night of a back to back, in only 28 freaking minutes, 25 on 8-16 & 4-5 from 3 & 10Rs qualifies as a " mini-monster game."
Anyone still worried about his 3-4 game slump shooting from 3? LOL.
PS Paul needs 5 points VS Atlanta on Tuesday to pass Jerry West & become the 17th leading scorer in freaking NBA history!

SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

I was watching the Bucks feed and I heard the muffled expletives. Then the Bucks announcers were like "Wow, Pierce is getting really heated." He was literally taking role call at the FT line, I heard "Butler who ya got!, John who the f*ck is your man!"
So glad he chewed them out, that was the turning point in the game.

Im interested to see will the league change the box score because they actually gave one of Wall's fg's to Beal so Wall really had 21 and Beal 15

How did that happen? Just a pure statistician error? (Haven't watch the game yet.)

Easy call for Pierce. He closed it out like vintage Pierce.

Yeah, it was bizarre. After Wall's first 3, he scored a pretty easy layup/dunk and was awarded no points. I'm not sure if it went to Beal or someone else, but it surprised me that no one (other than dlts20) caught it.

I looked at the play by play and it happened at like the 3:29 mark in the 2nd quarter. Wall made that layup but it says Beal on the play by play
