Pierce, a cautionary tale
Paul Pierce has been there before. He knows a 2-1 season-series win against the Pistons guarantees the Celtics a tiebreaker. And nothing else.
“You don’t want to take anything away from the Pistons,” Pierce cautioned after the game. “You don’t want to get too overconfident against them. I remember in 2002 when we were I think like 3-1, or 4-0 against the New Jersey Nets and lost to them in the Eastern Conference Finals. It’s great to beat them in the regular season match up and win the series, but this is a team we are probably going to have to see in the playoffs. They’ll be a better team by then.”
