I don't want Pierce on a Knicks uniform, I really hate him.

I'll pass on Paul Pierce. For the people that hate Marbury and want Pierce, you'd be saying the same exact things you say about Marbury about Paul Pierce. The guy is a selfish ego-maniac who is way to mentally soft to play in New York.

How do you know Pierce is soft mentally and can't handle NY? Boston is a tough town too and he has done alright with a mediocre team. Plus, Pierce would finally give us a go-to scorer down the stretch in games. So many NBA games are won and lost in the last few minutes.

you and nalod must buy from the same dealer

Rather that than to think along the same lines as you. Thats like asking for a hole in the head the size of a half a doller.

I've had the chance to watch Pierce everygame the Celtics played for the past 2 years and was never OVERLY impressed with him. The guy's a baby night in and night out.

how when the knicks usually play at that same time?

but I've watched a good number of Celtics games the last 3 years (Pierce has more wins, more winning shots, more explosive nights than Marbury) and have followed his career since KU and everything in the parenthesis holds true career wise as well.

btw,
Steph cries just as much as the next man. Often times NY s 4-5 while he sits there complaining to a ref about a non-call. He gets back on D only b/c the ref has crossed half-court but his focus isn't on the play at thand, its on getting his chance to talk more to the refs.

and for alll your he's a baby non-sense Pierce REBOUNDS and GETS TO THE LINE at a rate better than most big men in the league. I know those types of things are considered overrated on Knick boards, especially when you've got the "Best PG in the NBA" Steph doesn't believe in going to the stripe by throwing the head fake to get someone off their feet . Gets no "street cred" for making savvy plays. I know thats crybaby ball!

Uhh, I went to college in Rhode Island and was forced to watch Celtics games for 4 years up until this year since I've graduated....

but I've watched a good number of Celtics games the last 3 years (Pierce has more wins, more winning shots, more explosive nights than Marbury) and have followed his career since KU and everything in the parenthesis holds true career wise as well.

I agree about the big shots, disagree about everything else. Thats great for Pierce that he's had more explosive nights, winning shots and more wins than Marbury is someone who you think is not a good player at all. You want to say that theres something about Marbury that you don't like ie, how he runs a team on the court, thats fine. I'm saying the same thing about Pierce.

Don't know why your talking about Marbury in your defense of Paul Pierce, it doesn't make sense to me. The ONLY reason I mentioned Marbury was because I knew someone like you was going to compare Marbury to him in your efforts to make Pierce look better. Marbury has no business being in this post when your trying to tell me how GOOD Paul Pierce is NOT how much you hate Marbury.

Who cares how you get to the line? As long as you get there and make them. Your REALLY stretching if your going to argue that Stephon gets to the line in a manner which you dont like. I mean comeon man, we know you hate them man but please. Your trying to make points about Paul Pierce by detesting Stephon Marbury when your posts should have just been about Mr. Pierce

b/c the trade suggestion was Marbury for Pierce.

Steph would probably get to the line 200 more times a season if he used a simple headfake. If he's not going to consistently rebound or play defense or hustle, better max out his offensive potential.

ps
if you couldn't see Knicks games, how can you argue about the merits of Steph with those watching him damn near every night for the last 2 years?
