Paul Pierce throwin up Gang Sign?

In Game 3 on Sat, Horford and Paul Pierce got into a verbal altercation. During a timeout, Pierce began walking towards the Hawks bench but was restrained by teammates. Before he turned around however he threw up a hand sign. From what I know it could only mean 3 things

1. He is a Blood
2. He is a Kappa (Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity)
3. He has been awarded a 3 point shot (Ala Boobie Gibson)

Now in the context of the situation it would seem to me that he was throwing up a gang sign to show how "bad he is". What do you think. The still pic is below along with a link to the video.

I took it to be a gang sign at the time and extremely stupid of him. He's better than that.

No matter how s[B]h[/B]it Al Horford talked (like Pierce hasn't done the same), there is absolutely no excuse for that. It reflects badly on the league and the image they are trying to clean up.

And what's up with everyone getting butt-hurt over Horford taunting Pierce? You people love that s[B]h[/B]it when someone taunts someone after dunking on them. If it had been Darko or Yao taunted, everyone would think it was funny.

Especially since Pierce has never won anything in his life. You would have thought that getting stabbed one million times would teach him about trying to be a bad azz. Horford is from the Dominican, PP doesn't know anything about that man.

Horford is an idiot for doing that **** though, thats complete disrespect jumping and pointing at the guy when he is on the ground.

He's calling him an A$sh0le which is accurate.

I like the way how Horford disrespected Pierce like that. You don't see that too much in today's NBA.

yeah, in some games it's like lovefest 08. i'm all for more heated rivalries.

Horford is a young stud who's grunting and stamping his feet to show the old bull that there's a new power around and he won't be pushed around. You can see this kinda thing on the Discovery Channel too.

But seriously. Horford is really good and he's like 21. I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy get a ring as the man several years from now, if he's lucky.

Might just be his way of calling for a new point guard?

Horford would do Pierce like he did TJ ford. And he [I]wouldnt [/I]visit him in the hospital afterward either, unless it was to finish the job.

Not only that but he broke Kedrick Perkins' nose in the 1st qtr.

Yes, Paul Pierce is a well-known gangland executioner. Just last week he shot my neighbors. Also, he occasionally likes to rape Rondo, 'though that may have just been a rookie hazing thing. He's had an arrest warrant out for the last 3 years, but no one is sure exactly what this "TD Banknorth Garden" is supposed to be, so it's been hard finding him. Two prominent investigators have been assigned to the case:

:roll: I cant wait to see Horford's face when he is down 20 tonight.Stupid rookie.

He was telling Horford it's only game 3. When has Pierce ever been known to be, or even claim, to be a gangsta? :oldlol: at the idea of throwing up your set in a basketball game because a guy hit a shot over you.

Please don't interrupt a perfectly idiotic thread with common sense.

As if that hasn't happened before. You can't threaten someone with doing something that you have done already. The Hawks are playing with house money at this point. And if PP was such a great player then the Celtics didn't need to mortgage their future by bringing in two other players who have been so disappointing that they were essentially dumped by their former teams. In the case of Allen, it has been done twice.

At least the series is more interesting now. 4 straight blowouts would have been pretty dull.

This has what to do with the stabbing? Please don't post on subjects that you know nothing about...which, in your case, would mean, "Shut up, forever."

Yeah you are right. It had nothing to do with Pierce trying to be a bad ass. They stabbed him 8 times because they were disgruntled Celtics fans that were tired of of him chucking 3's.

stop being so damn offended by what Horford did. He taunted him. Same with Pierce...oooh, he showed him a questionable sign that could mean he needs to win 3 more games, he is an *******, or a stupid gang sign....who cares...

It creates more passion in a playoff game. The people that are all offended, should have witnessed NBA games in the 80's and even the 90's. Playoffs were one hell of a ride back then....

this year we are finally getting some on the court drama in the playoffs which is more fun. Stop crying about it. Garnett is known smack talker during games and I havent seen people cry over that. People actually like Garnett's passion.

and yea, boston is coming back now to annihilate atlanta....40 point win?

:roll: You are such an idiot..you think Pierce getting stabbed 10 years ago had something to do with Al Horford taunting him? Please he was clearly sayings its Game 3 dont pop the champagne too early..Pierce just had a baby and is married he has nothing to do with gang related activities anymore.Too grown up for that stupid ****.

Look......none of us know what he meant. None of us.

People saying "he only meant it's just game 3" aren't anymore right than those that think it was a gang sign.

I am not saying he is an active gangbanger. All I was asking was whether or not that was indeed a gang sign he was throwing at Horford during a nationally televised NBA game and the implications for the league if it is true. Besides there are plenty of 30 year old gangbangers with wives and children.

Why would pierce say it is just game 3? They were up 2-0 at the time. If anything that would be what Horford would say. The point is that given the circumstances of how it happened logic says that it was probably a gang sign thrown up out of anger. Pierce was basically sayin. "F*ck u Horford, Piru's punk! West siiide N**ga! That is bascially what Pierce did.

maybe he meant.. "Al, i fcuked your girl 3 times.."

I don't know about that. Wasn't he in a gay bar when he got stabbed?:roll:

Wow I've read some pretty dumb comments on ISH
but this one takes the cake.


I guess you deserve some credit for trying to rep your home team.

Your on dumb dude


That club has Gay nites its not a gay club.
Its got 18plus nites for college students, its got 21 plus nites for adults.
Its got spanish nites Etc.
and that club is notorious for having grimey sht happen there.
its had its name and ownership changed like ten times in the last 10yrs
and right now its shut down.
Its not somewhere any professional athlete or entertainer should be.
Nor you'd ever expect them to be because the spot is not staffed nor equipted to handle celebrities. Its crazy hood and its located in the near what call the combat zone in downtown Boston. He was a rookie and didn't know boston like that cuz someone would have told him that wasn't the spot for him. He got into it wit some hood cats and got knifed up.

and your a btch for trying to use that against em

I guess Paul Pierce thinks he deserves some kind of respect or something? :confusedshrug:

IMO the Hawks already got the best of the Celtics by beating them once. Trust me the Celts wanted everybody to fear them. That fear dwindled a little with a lose to the Hawks.

horford is a GREAT young rookie. but that said,he is still a rookie,and doesnt have a right to do that for another couple years.he'll learn tonight when the hawks get stomped. don't talk trash about winning 1 game when you need 3 more

I don't care if Horford is a rookie, If Pierce got stabbed a million times by Jesus Christ and Moses or any of that crap.

I'm gonna think it's a gang sign so that I can look forward to more beef in the next game!

Stevenson finally got LeBron good, with balling skills then a slap in the head.
Spurs and Suns been beating eachother up
Kidd put it on Pargo

And now this whole Horford thing! I love it. Now we just need Bosh and Howard to get into an altercation and D. Williams to punch Tracy's eye back into place and we got the best playoffs in history!

heres another video of it, its clearer, [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnq1T5A5R3k&NR=1[/url]

Pierce telling Horford "Its just game 3" doesn't make sense in the context of the game. He is charging towards the Hawks bench. The Celtics were up 2-0. It doesn't make sense for Pierce to demean his own teams lead in the series by saying its only game 3. It would make sense for Horford to say something like "This series isn't over its only game 3" I swear you 12 year olds need to develop some logic.

That being said, the clip of Horford dusting off the ball was hilarious as well
