Paul Pierce: hero, faker, wuss?
--Tony Massarotti: he made a heroic return from injury.
--Basketbawful: he got freaked out and then realized he was actually okay.
--Bill Simmons: maybe that, or maybe he was genuinely hurt, but whatever.
--Bill Plaschke: he's a shameless exaggerator.
--Jalen Rose: ditto (click "NBA Finals" and "Paul Pierce: Hurt or Injured?")
Have at it! (And before you answer, remember that weird
fake bandage from a few years back.)
