Paul Pierce thinks the Heat team s a bunch of D'Leaguers

do you Celtics fans really have such an inferiority complex STILL that you have to come here and diss the worst team in the league. I don't remember the Tim Hardaway Heat teams ever having an issue with the Celtics, they had no beef, their games were irrelevant, they never even met in the playoffs, I don't think.

You remade your team into one of the best, congrats. No need to come here and try to rub our faces in anything. 1986 was a long time ago, we won a title 2 years ago. I doubt any Heat fan came on your board in 2006 and rubbed your noses in anything.

Good luck the rest of the season.

I do remember Tim Hardaway going back and forth with Antoine Walker back in the days but that was because they were boys from Chicago and always spent time over the summer competing against each other.

Other than that, that was a classy group of guys who would be up "on your face" with their play, not with their words.

While the team may be made up of people who used to be in the d-league, its still arrogant and disrespectful to refer to them as such, when, in fact, ALL of them are NBA players. It may not stay that way, but for now they are.

Pierce went out of his way to say that. I know that most Heat fans are fine with the tanking (which i think sucks too), but I think its ok to call him out on that.

Pierce didn't say the Heat was a dleague team. He said you had dleaguers on the team. Is that not true? Personally, I don't see anything wrong with someone saying we should beat a team that has a bunch of players from the dleague on it, especially in the starting lineup.

"They got D-Leaguers out there, so I think we just handled our business," the Boston forward said, listing some of the five Miami players who spent time in the NBA's developmental league this season. "We're supposed to do that. We knew this was a game we were supposed to win, and we just focused from the jump and went out and did it."

Why is this a thread?

because some guy who I doubt is a Celtics fan or a Heat fan decided he needed some attention
