Paul Pierce is a bet welcher

Maybe that wasn't a gang sign after all. Just a heads up on how much Pierce was planning on paying.

via cache.boston.com

Surprising absolutely no one outside of Beantown, Paul Pierce has many qualities that normal people do not like.

Today, on 790 the zone, Al Horford told a story that happened sometime during the first two games of 2008 playoff series with Boston. Pierce and Al were jawing at each other standing at the free throw line. Realizing talk is cheap, they made a 10,000 dollar wager over whether the Hawks would win a game in the series or not.

Well, the Hawks actually won three, and Horford has yet to receive any money. I don't think Paul can plead ignorance. If I recall correctly, Horford made it pretty clear the Hawks won that first one.

Sports radio is many things, most of them on the far end of the annoying, but interviews with athletes is a gold mine with large nuggets of Paul Pierce hating goodness.

Also, apparently Jamal Crawford is quite the Casanova on radio. On a related note, Al Horford can officially do no wrong in my book.

Pierce is a very unlikable player

Let’s look at the evidence:

-Flashed gang signs and acted like a baby against the Hawks in the playoffs.
-Is a notorious flop machine.
-“Gets to the line”…via cheap calls from flailing his arms on every drive.
-Has absolutely ZERO left. None. He goes right 99.9% of the time.
-Doesn’t pay bets.
-Pulled that garbage where he had to be carried to the locker room, only to come running out later. What a cheap pop maneuver.
-Is so unlikable that another human saw it fit to stab him multiple times.

I hate him. Please join me in my hatred.

from here on out

lets stick with talking about the fun hate and not the scary real life hate of stabbing. no one wants that, should want that, or is welcome on this blog if they do.

with that said, back to making fun of paul pierce.

Ouch.

Sad thing is I thought I worded it so as not to look like bad hate and more of a matter-of-fact, funny way. Thought the context was ok. I do tend to see the lighter side of any and all situations, and I guess in type can be taken the wrong way rather than verbally. I assure you it was meant as strictly humor.

So, at the risk of further looking like a boob and ruining everyone’s good time, i’ll say “my bad” and bow out of this one.

i knew you were joking

but just in case some boston fans stumble over here, i did not want to give them a reason to be distracted from the fact no one should really like Paul Pierce.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 20, 2009 12:38 PM EDT up reply actions

I got it Duff Man

Laughed really loud and called all the chessy Boston fans in my office over and made them read it. Hilarious! Of course, they all promptly went for the “yeah, but he scores and we have a championship” bit.

I thought Stern was tryin to clean up this league? If that were true, Pierce would have been bounced by now, along with Wade.

is this what you hate about paul pierce? or roughly 65 percent of players in the NBA

by Nick Fasulo on Oct 20, 2009 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions

i was unaware people kept stats on NBA bet welching.

Paul Pierce has 0 left?

Thats hilarious

by latin on Oct 20, 2009 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions

think he meant that he always drives right

by thirdfALCON on Oct 20, 2009 6:23 PM EDT up reply actions

That's exactly correct.

I noticed this last season. He really hates dribbing to his left.

by Duff_Man on Oct 20, 2009 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions

Thats not even true Duff Man
Pierce has always been and still is one of the best at going both left and right, going right and finishing with his left or going left finishing with his right…I dont know what you’re talking about, you sound rather dumb and bitter

by latin on Oct 20, 2009 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions

I love you, too.

It’s something I noticed. Maybe I was just watching games where he went right. I saw it in the playoffs as well. Maybe I am blind in my left eye and can only see half the court. But I am only commenting on what I saw when I watched him play, which is not 82 games by any stretch because I like to minimize my nausea.

And while we’re at it, Gorman and Heinsohn stink, too.

I may be dumb, but I am not bitter. I am sweet as fresh baked cookies.

by Duff_Man on Oct 20, 2009 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions

lol, just dont make things up My man….one of pierces biggest strengh in his game is his deceptiveness and being able to go right, go left, pull up, hit the 3 and go to the basket and finish with either hand, driving either way

some Highlights from last season…he goes left more then 50% of the time in the highlights….sorry but this is just not a weakness in pierces game

by latin on Oct 20, 2009 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions

He actually goes left more then he goes right….jus sayin’

by latin on Oct 20, 2009 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions

lets just have a "walk off" and be done with it

he either is an ambi turner or he is not.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 20, 2009 9:17 PM EDT up reply actions

Who Cares?

Personally i dont care if Paul goes left or right, as long as he gets it done {well not get it done cause i dont like the celtics} but if u do like the celts then u want him too!

by kaleigh on Oct 21, 2009 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions

WOW

wen i heard Al on 790 The Zone i was so amazed!! i thought Paul was a pretty cool guy until
1. he bet Al
2. Didnt even pay Al
if i was Al i would still be talkin shit

by kaleigh on Oct 20, 2009 2:45 PM EDT reply actions

Maybe

Al hasn’t bothered Pierce about paying since Pierce already got fined $25k for throwing the gang sign at Al.

I think Al should talk trash more often, as should the rest of the Hawks since our best player Joe is so quiet. The only instances I know of with smack talk are Bibby calling out Boston “fans”, Al in game 3, and Mo Evans on twitter to Dwayne and Kobe.

by coachkcastellon on Oct 20, 2009 3:57 PM EDT reply actions

he is a bet welcher....

but he is a great player. I don’t know what kind of “gang sign” he threw up cause i don’t know who he’s affliated with. But he is the kind of guy I would love to see leaving Philips arena pissed off in defeat.

Atlanta will win a championship....someday

by maxxj3 on Oct 20, 2009 4:18 PM EDT reply actions

he is a great player

and all good hate has shades of jealousy. Pierce is no exception.

but seriously, total bet welcher. even if it would be illegal for him to pay it. i like disliking paul too much to give him any kind of benefit of the doubt.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 20, 2009 4:26 PM EDT up reply actions

although no one seems to notice he has slipped a good bit

the last couple of years, but that is for a different post.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 20, 2009 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions

How has he slipped though, honestly? his numbers? thats directly related to having 2 other scorers/hall of famers and the even distrubition between the 3, and the entire team

He actually plays 2 ends of the floor now, is unselfish and trusts his teammates…2 things he never did before, hes a become a mature all around player…therefore better

by latin on Oct 20, 2009 4:49 PM EDT up reply actions

i would not argue with that

he is a much better teammate now. no doubt. and he is still very good, but he used to be incredibly good on the offensive end.

but his PER has dropped pretty significantly the last three years which is not all about how many points you get, etc. but efficiency.

plus he doesnt get to the line nearly as much which was a staple of his game.

if his per drops two points again he will be just above average.

just my opinion and i obviously don’t like him or watch him as much as you. but that is how i see it.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 20, 2009 4:56 PM EDT up reply actions

Above average really?

This is a future HOFer who won a title and Finals MVP. I’m surprised to see nobody wishing death on him and to get stabbed again.

by illestmcsgt on Oct 21, 2009 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions

God, let's hope not

Pierce in the Hall, might as well let West in while we’re at it.

Since you seemed to have not understood the context with which he said “just above average”, let me help you. If his PER drops another two points like it has recently, then by that metric at that time, he will indeed be just above the average PER in the NBA. No where in the comment is there any mention of his career status.
