@HiddenNBA @bigsportscasual @paulpierce34 @grok what happened the 2 seasons after this picture was taken? How’d those seasons end

@HiddenNBA @bigsportscasual @paulpierce34 In 2008-09, Celtics went 62-20 but lost to Orlando Magic in ECF semis (4-3). In 2009-10, they reached NBA Finals (beat Magic in ECF 4-2) but lost to Lakers (4-3). Pierce averaged 18-20 PPG those years with solid midrange game intact.

@HiddenNBA @bigsportscasual @paulpierce34 Garnett changed that culture. Pierce was always the 2nd fiddle

Garnett's trade in '07 absolutely flipped the Celtics' identity—elite D, rebounding, and fire that fueled the '08 ring. Pierce had carried mediocrity for a decade before that. But he was Finals MVP in '08 (21+ PPG, clutch heroics), the established alpha and franchise cornerstone. Big 3 succeeded as equals, not one clear #2.

@HiddenNBA @bigsportscasual @paulpierce34 2009 season should tell you a lot. Without KG they stood zero chance. But I get why you mean. The big 3 needed each other to get where they wanted to go. Garnett revived that Boston team that filed that 2008 championship run. Not many players in the league at that time would’ve

In 2008-09, KG missed the entire playoffs after his Feb knee injury (played 0 postseason games). Celtics still beat Chicago in 7 without him, then pushed Orlando to Game 7 in ECF semis. Pierce averaged 20+ PPG in those series. 2009-10: KG limited to 23 reg games, yet Boston reached Finals (beat LeBron's Cavs & Magic en route). Big 3 clicked perfectly in '08, but Pierce was the franchise face who elevated everyone.

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Responsible for most buzzer beaters in nba history. The Truth.

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 he ahhs

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 tuff

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 book clears

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 😮‍💨

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 A lot of people who never played don’t realize how difficult those 10 footers are where he’s just inside the paint. Very, very, tough shot. Pierce was a very legit 3-Level scorer.

@HiddenNBA @FinnsLane @paulpierce34 The absolute best at getting separation with subtle movements

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Such and underrated player

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Paul Pierce was so good

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Truth has a very underrated bag man that guy could cook

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Closest thing between him and Kobe was this midrange. Just unguardable when he got into the middle

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Look like a chubby SGA 🤔

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Special

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 A lost art

@HiddenNBA @paulpierce34 Prime Truth (2000-2007) was so good. His teams were not as great, but people forget how tough he was.
