Nets... probably the most stacked team of our lifetime?

[chazzy]

Pierce looked pretty good on both ends last night. Def not done

[It's A VC3!!!]

Now that does go too far. He's only played 2 games and hasn't scored 20 in either.

And? He scored 17 and 19. By your logic, if he scored a few more points, I can use the word dominant? He's shooting 60% from the field and averaging 18 PPG on just nine field goal attempts per game. Imagine that. He's in a completely new system and I honestly thought he's struggle for the first half of the season but it's like he's been here forever. He's not "dominating" in terms of Kevin Durant, LeBron James, etc.. standards but considering he's playing with four-six other high scoring options, he's giving us much, much more than we asked of him. We love you Paul! Wish he and Kevin were younger so we could have them for more years.

08 Celtics? 05 Spurs? 07 Suns? 96 Bulls?

So in essence he's dominating under a new, much less dominant way that you made up.

You know if they were younger they'd be Celtics.

...am not a Heat fan...

I like Lebron, Ray Allen, Wade on that team......... but i like even more players on that Nets team... Shaun Livingston, Deron, Joe Johnson, KG, Teletovic (my country man).... hell im more of a Nets fan than a Heat fan lol...

In the role and situation he was put in just several months ago, he's dominating. Combine that with his age, and the numbers he's putting up are beyond remarkable.

This level of play you describe here is not dominant. That's the kind of game that you get from a good player. Pierce is smart enough to adjust to any system, basketball is not rocket science and he's got a high IQ for the game. "Dominant" is an adjective that is supposed to be reserved for elite basketball players. If a guy is not playing on the level of James, Durant, etc. he is not dominant.

You keep saying that word, i do not think it means what you think it means.

Pauk keeps rolling out gems. First the Lebron-old lion essay, now this.

LeBron is averaging 23 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists and he's playing nine more minutes per game than Paul AND he has nowhere near the options that the Nets have in the starting unit. And by "dominating in his role", I mean that he cannot play any better than he's playing right now given the current situation that he is in. Can you honestly say that Paul can play any better than he's playing right now? If the answer is no, than he is "dominating in the role he's in". Again, people like to assert the word "dominate" to people that only score 40 a night.

People are assuming dominate is used by the dictionary definition, not something you made up. Yes, that is true.

Pauk making the excuses early this year

This, obvious agenda is obvious

Kirk Hinrich is dominating in his role.
