The Hoop Doctors
June 18th, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap
I know, I know, I know, none of the “Beantown Trio” (Garnett no longer wants to be called The Big Three) really care who wins the Finals MVP award, as each of their ultimate goals was to win the NBA Championship. These guys put their individual statistical tracking aside to put all their energy into team chemistry and playing “the right way” as Larry ...

The Painted Area asks the question: (http://thepaintedarea.blogspot.com/2008/06/make-room-for-no-34.html)
So, there's absolutely no debate now that Pierce's number will be
retired by the Celtics. The only question left is this: did Pierce
elevate himself to Hall of Fame status?
At age 30, the resume looks like this:
- 1 NBA Championship
- 1 Finals MVP
- 3 All-NBA Third ...

It has been done by all the other sports blogs (probably better), but I would like to say congratulations to the Boston Celtics.

20 Second Timeout
Depending on the outcome, Paul Pierce or Kobe Bryant will most likely win the 2008 Finals MVP. In my previous post I broke down Bryant's performance in the first five games of the Finals and compared his numbers to this series and the Western Conference Finals to the numbers that LeBron James posted against Boston in this year's playoffs and San Antonio in last year's Finals. The Celtics have ...
Paul Pierce: An MVP performance in a losing effort —
The Arbitrarian
Last night, Paul Pierce made a strong case to be finals MVP–unfortunately for him, the Celtics could not close the game out. You may be interested to find that Pau, not Paul, had the best game in terms of Model-estimated value. However, once team performance is accounted for Pierce comes out ahead, credited with 37.8 Points Created, and 0.376 wins. Nevertheless, this was Gasol’s ...
