What they say? You ain’t nothin’ but a soldier. Yeah, straight hard truth soldier. Believe. You ain’t nothin’ but a soldier. Yeah, hard truth soldier. -Public Enemy
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. I’ve said Paul Pierce is the most underrated player in the world.
That’s what happens. That’s what happens when you don’t play in big games on the big stage. When you don’t play in big games on the big stage, you become underrated.
Well, the Truth is, Paul Pierce ain’t underrated no more. He just played his biggest game on the biggest stage against the biggest star in the league and he came on top. Like my main Winston Curchill always says, “A lie gets halfway around the world before the Truth has a chance to get its pants on.” The Truth got its pants on last night.
The Truth got its pants on and scored forty-one points. Scored forty-one big points to lead the Celtics to victory. The smell, you know that gasoline smell. The whole hill. Smelled like… victory. Someday this war’s gonna end. It ain’t gonna end ’till Paul Pierce says it’s gonna end. And yesterday afternoon, he said no such thing.
Yesterday afternoon, Paul Pierce put the Celtics in the Conference Finals for the first time since 2002. Yesterday afternoon, Paul Pierce did his best Cornbread Maxwell imitation. Did his best Cornbread Maxwell imitation and said, “Climb on my back, boys.”
Before Game Seven of the 1984 Finals against the Showtime Lakers, Maxwell told his teammates to climb on his back and then proceeded to torch Big Game James Worthy as the Celtics won their 15th title. Yesterday, the Truth proceeded to torch LeBron James as the Celtics won another Game Seven.
KG: “Tonight was basically get the ball to Paul Pierce and everyone else just get out the way.” Get out the way while the Truth scores twenty-six points during the first half. Get out the way while the Truth nails down pull-up Js. Get out the way while the Truth knocks down killer threes. And finally, get out the way while the Truth dives to the floor to get the loose ball, call a time out, and put this one in the bank.
Now Paul Pierce and the Celtics must go against the Deetroit Pistons. The Deetroit Pistons have been here before. I came in the door. I said it before. I never let the mic magnetize me no more. The Deetroit Pistons are in the Conference Finals for the sixth straight season. The mic ain’t magnetizing them. Paul Pierce might.
He might mageitize them. Hypnotize them. Mesmerize them. Tantalize them. Captivate them. Devastate them. If Paul Pierce keeps this play up, the Celtics are headed for title number seventeen. And that’s the double-truth, Ruth!
