Paul Pierce blamed his sore left knee for a weak defensive effort on Saturday, just glad that he was able to play in the game. It was also mentioned in the Boston Herald that he might take a "few days" off in order to let the knee heal.
"I was able to make it through the game, but I obviously hurt us tonight," he said. "I was a step slow pretty much all night and it really hurt us. Dahntay Jones goes out and has one of his best nights, with me guarding him." They're off until Wednesday, which we hope are the days that Pierce is talking about taking off. Three full days should give Pierce's ego (oops, we mean knee) time to heal, but he is a little iffy for Wednesday's game. Our guess is he'll play.
