PP named player of the week
Quote:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Paul Pierce was named the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week yesterday, but both he and Doc Rivers were hailing it as more of a Celtics accomplishment.
``It just shows how good the team is,'' said Pierce before going for 15 points and nine assists in a 119-110 win over the Bobcats last night. ``Any time awards come along, it means your team is doing good.''
The Celts were 3-0 for the week in question, with Pierce averaging 28.3 points (on 48.1 percent shooting), 8.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
This was Pierce's second such honor of the season. He also took it home for the first week of February. The Celtics were on a three-game winning streak then, too.
``That's awesome,'' said Rivers of Pierce's selection. ``I've always thought player of the week awards are really team awards more than All-Star things. Usually you don't get a player of the week award unless your team's playing well. That's really nice for everyone.'' ]CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Paul Pierce was named the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week yesterday, but both he and Doc Rivers were hailing it as more of a Celtics accomplishment.
