So, now that he's officially retired, we can officially complete the 'Paul Pierce Emasculation Tour' by giving all his airtime to Dwyane Wade, right? Don't get me wrong, there's a time and a place for Boston-driven bullshit. I just think that time is late at night and that place is some Northeast regional affiliate that people primarily watch to bolster their bias ahead of big games. As much as I loved 'The Truth' throughout the entirety of his career, he's made a habit out of bending it in basically becoming living proof that not every former athlete is cut out to be a objective analyst. That has never been made more clear than it was in this particularly bad attempt at trying to inform a viewing audience. The winningest team in the league, led by the presumed MVP, whose range of talents are assumed to not be of this planet, is doomed after one single playoff loss to a team whose kryptonite has been their own consistency. You honestly couldn't take in a worse prognostication if you sniffed it straight from the ass Skip Bayless talks out of. Of course, the Bucks have more causes for concern now than they did 24 hours ago, as the Celtics looked to be firing on all cylinders offensively and Al Horford did a great job on Giannis defensively. However, if the question is "where do they go from here?" then I'd imagine the answer is back to their locker room to ready themselves for a long series of adjustments after an uncharacteristically piss-poor shooting performance. I don't even feel comfortable calling Paul Pierce a prisoner of the moment. Saying "styles make fights" as if styles can't be changed and fights don't last more than a round is so abjectly moronic that it better purely be a product of favoritism towards the franchise for which his number hangs in the rafters. If not, then it's a product of a clear and present stupidity towards the entirety of sports that can't be solely blamed on the circumstances of which he was asked to analyze.
