as an actor, I pray everday to be as good as paul pierce. his latest play, "my shot didn't fall and kobe was already gone so I needed an excuse and fell" was a fucking classic.

watch any NBA game and you see people begging for fouls all the time. The only reason you're targeting Pierce is because 1- He plays for Boston and you hate Boston since you joined the league and 2- because of his antics in Game 1. If it's the latter, then it was a BRILLIANT move to get the crowd pumped up and back in the game, and if he really was scared and thought he was hurt, then he's just a numskull. So you're either giving him too much credit, or not enough credit, and I'm not sure which it is

My wife works in television, specifically with the NBA. It's not a coincidence that the NBA advertises "DRAMA" as one of their selling points.
It's not an accident that the NBA has become what it has become.

I swore off the NBA after the brawl in Detroit, when it was decided that even though the Pistons started everything, and that their fans were on the court coming at Pacer players, that every Pacer should be suspended for most of the season. Best team in the NBA at the time, best shot at a title, and it was undermined by David Stern and Ben Wallace. I dealt with every single call going against the Pacers in every playoff series against the Bulls and Knicks in the 90s but that was the final straw. I'll always believe the NBA does everything in their power to make sure the big market teams advance in the playoffs
Didn't a Pacers player start it with a hard Foul? Didn't that same pacers player lie down on the corer's table like a douchebag? Didn't that same pacers player run into the stands to beat some guy up? Yeah, that's what I thought. The only team I hate more than the Lakers is the Pistons, maybe a little bit more some time, but that disaster was Indiana's fault. You cannot attack the paying customer. Period. End of Story. I'm sure you'll keep on crying though....
