Was at the game yesterday. Fans love the truth here in dc

I called game is one of my favorite sports quotes ever.

He's a throwback, it's beautiful. The league has a lot of hot air but him, DRose, Durant and Davis to name a few are breaths of fresh air.

Instant classic

He also said you get The Truth in that postion with the game on the line and you know what happens. He certainly doesn't lack for confidence.

Wall was an enthusiastic cheerleader on the bench yesterday as well.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I wonder how many people here know what og stands for

 

[James]

the wizards are toast without Wall. maybe they aren't, im' just really angry about his freakin hand injury. such an exciting . competitive force on the floor. reminds me of westbrook

 

[James]

btw lebron's game winner pwns pierce+roses by far

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Yeah but Wall danced once a few years ago so he's a bad kid and will never win anything.

 

[superjohn]

Interesting stat, Pierce is 2-13 in the playoffs in those final 5 second game winner situations but was still tied with Lebron before today as the only guy with 2 last second game winners in the past 15 years. Lebron just had his third today.

 

[TasteofUConn]

Pierce is awesome. Rose was awesome and is still excellent. Wall is a next level talent that is getting better every year. LeBron is an alien, and is already in the top 5 ever, with another chit in his legacy-bucket today. Guy was asked immediately after the game about the O-foul that he got on Dunleavy with under a minute. Says, "I shouldn't have put myself in a position to allow the refs to make that call." Gets fouled on the game winning drive, no call. Responds with a shot with 1 second left that not only won the game, but may have prevented a Bulls series win. Will be the first man since Russel to go to the finals 5 years in a row, if he can make it happen. Great pleasure to watch him, and the best part is that he knows it's just a game, and he doesn't take himself too seriously - he's just a good man.

DRose? What about him is a breath of fresh air? He's unbelievable when he's healthy but I wouldn't sign those knees, not for the max contract he wants. The brow and KD are perennial all-stars and relatively intelligent from what I've heard-no Briscoe here. That is a strange group of people you have lumped together there. With that said, Truth has been stabbed enough to call him OG.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

Missed the open shot tonight.

I've never been a Pierce fan, but yeah, that's pretty huge.

I'm going strictly from attitude. The no nonsense attitude. He does his job when healthy and doesn't bask in the spotlight. Case in point how he reacted to his game winner.

What does it stand for anybody?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

 

[superjohn]

What does it stand for anybody?

A guy like Fred "The Hammer" Williamson is an OG, even made a movie about being an OG.

Being a Knicks fan probably explains partially why i hate PP so much. Other than that I think he is one of the biggest babies in the NBA. touch him, he hits the ground rolls around like his life is over and 2 minutes later he's himself again. No denying he has been a very good player over the course of his career obviously. I just strongly dislike PP.

 

[nomar]

Being an OG makes you an older statesmen with street cred, basically. No 22-year-old rookie is going to roll his eyes when Paul Pierce is talking.

And yeah, NVa, being a Knicks fan does explain why you hate Pierce so much.

Love Ray?!? lol. cant stand KG, but never could before the C's. He just seems to cry and whine more than any other player in the league. I've even watched with Celtic fans and they dont even try to deny that he is a big baby.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Well I suppose that settles it, then.

Hard to tell if you're talking about Pierce or KG but you'd be hard pressed to find a Cs fan with something bad to say about either one.
