The Miami Heat always find themselves at the mercy of opinionated discussion, one way or another. Paul Pierce has a special interest in them in recent days.
The Miami Heat always find a way to be a topic of conversation. This is no matter the circumstances.
Over the last few seasons, even when the team wasn’t doing so hot, they always found a way to come up. It was either that by some chance, or analyst going out of their way to say how bad the Miami Heat were, how far they were from contention again, or why no superstar would be headed there.
Now that most of that has proved to be relatively wrong, things still haven’t changed. Now though, instead of lamenting over how bad they are or were, it’s about why they can’t win a title. Again and no matter which way you go, there will always be something negative to say about the Miami Heat.
I wish I could say that the NBA hiatus provided a small break in the Miami Heat slander for no reason, but that would be false. In recent weeks with no live NBA action and even at random times in the past, one serial Miami Heat hater has made it his absolute business to trash LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and the Miami Heat on seemingly every opportunity.
This guy is Paul Pierce, but I am sure you already knew that. He not only has notoriously been known to say that he had a better career than Dwyane Wade, but he recently said that LeBron James wasn’t a top 5 NBA player of all time.
The Miami Heat’s Big 3 find themselves at the mercy of Paul Pierce’s opinion. He’s notoriously known for slandering both Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.
Yea, pretty insane stuff from a guy who’s job is to talk and analyze professional NBA basketball. In any event, The Truth didn’t stop there. He took it even further in the last day or so. Here is what he had to say on the Miami Heat’s Big 3 era on ESPN’s NBA Countdown, via the Twitter account of NBA Central.

While the entire monologue from Pierce in the above clip is laughably blasphemous, let’s focus here. Specifically note his final quote from the video above where he says “they should have been 1-4, they skated with two out of four, but they should have probably won three out of the four.”
Look, Pierce had a slight point inside of his overall point, which was wrong in totality to be clear. When he said that they should have probably won three of the four titles in their era, he was right on that one.
However, to say that winning one title and nevertheless two in any four year period is an underachievement, is simply false. That stands true, no matter who was on the team. There are players who go entire careers and fail to win one title and definitely those who fail to win a second one, such as Pierce for example, so how then could winning two in four years be an underachievement?
It just isn’t possible. That’s the answer.
While again, I can slightly agree with his point that they should have won three of the four, I can also say this of that notion. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Paul Pierce isn’t only a broken clock but a broken record, you know, the kind that keeps playing the same song over and over and over again. It would be nice to hear him finally change his tune and leave it alone, he’s starting to sound like what he truly seems to be, a hater. That’s just The Truth.
