Paul Pierce: ‘The Celtics need a little more time’
Paul Pierce at his jersey retirement ceremony in February.Paul Pierce isn’t worried about the Celtics.
Despite a 6-4 record following the team’s second straight loss Monday night, the former Celtic thinks Boston will find its footing soon.
“Boston should be a lot better than they are right now, and they will be,” Pierce said on ESPN’s First Take. “They’re trying to figure out the chemistry issues with Kyrie [Irving], Gordon Hayward back. They’re so deep. … It’s not like you have a team where you’re like, ‘This is our leading scorer, you guys fall in line.’ They have so many guys that can score: [Jayson] Tatum, [Jaylen] Brown, Gordon [Hayward].”
