Yes Paul, that is why Washington signed you. Paul Pierce was signed for the specific purpose of bringing the Wizards as far as they could go in the playoffs. Through clutch shots and leadership, Pierce has already led the Wizards to a 3-0 series lead over Toronto, and will look to help the team pull off the sweep on Sunday night.
After hitting a three-pointer that sealed the game for Washington, Paul Pierce was pumped up and yelled his famous phrase “that’s why they brought me here” to the crowd. The fans loved it, and the Verizon Center was rocking with all of the fans being as pumped up as Pierce was making them.
If Toronto continues to let Pierce walk all over them, the series will easily end with the first sweep in a best-of-7 series in Washington franchise history. By his actions and words, Pierce is doing exactly what is needed of him to lead the Wizards to team history.
