“I told y’all, dawg! Y’all so delusional! Maybe next year… or, maybe never…” That was Paul Pierce, reveling in the Knicks’ Game 2 loss to the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics legend hasn’t let up on Jalen Brunson and company since they bounced his former team in six games. And let’s be real—if you can’t watch your squad win, the next best thing is watching the team that sent them packing fall flat. Now, with Game 3 underway, Pierce is back doing what he does best: throwing shade with no filter.
Having secured a 58-45 lead at halftime, it seems that the Indiana Pacers are headed for a 3rd consecutive win. Securing this win, along with another one, would make this squad the first Pacers one, since the 1999-2000 season, to qualify for the NBA Finals, and 2nd overall! Rejoicing in this fact, Paul Pierce once again trolled the Knicks crowd by writing, “Why everyone so quiet”. Yikes!

While Paul Pierce was having his fun, the same could not have been said for everyone. For Knicks fans, if their team was losing, then there was a pretty good reason behind it. A reason used by many fans, on both winning and losing instances, over the course of the tournament.
