Pierce: The Celtics have always had a waste of the lead in the score, the team s playing style is successful, three-pointers and three-pointers

September 12th News Recently, Celtics legend Pierce talked about the Celtics' playoffs last season in an interview.

Talking about the Celtics losing to the Knicks 2-4 in the Eastern Conference semi-finals last season, Pierce said: "They messed up this series. The first two games were at home. They were once at home, but they lost both games? That's right, they ruined the series themselves, which has nothing to do with the Knicks' talent."

"But this is also largely related to their playing style. In recent years, the Celtics have been squandering the big score lead. The root cause is that they are too obsessed with shooting three-pointers - this way of playing is success and three-pointers, and three-pointers are defeated. But the question is, they won the championship with this style of play last season. What can you say? Should they change their playing style and let them hit the basket more? But this way of winning the championship is that three-pointers have become their team trait."
