Doc Rivers benches Pierce |
|
In the game tonight Rivers benched Pierce for awhile for not "running the floor". Pierce was,needless to say,not a happy camper.When he came back into the game he hit a big 3 pointer and then started yelling towards the bench.
The Boston sports pages should be even more interesting than usual come tomorrow :)

Pierce is a selfish player who needs to learn what team play is all about.

Good to see a coach with balls.
I just hope they dont compare it to when Steve Kasper benched Cam Neely during a Bruins game years ago.Kasper was lucky to leave town with his head still attached,and rightfully so.Neely was the ultimate team guy...Pierce has a way to go in that department.

3. hopefully Ainge will back him up |
|
That's the key, really; a coach can pull this sort of thing only if the GM is backing him.

But I think Ainge will definitely back him up.

Pierce today apologized for his actions and said he wants to be a better role model for the younger players on the team.
Maybe there's hope :)

6. So it was a real apology? |
|
An actual "I apologise for what I did" would be nice.
I get sick of non-apologies. "I apologise if I offended anyone."

just what was reported on the news.No clip or anything.They made it sound sincere anyways.
I agree about the half-assed apologies these days :)
