Jackson calls out Pierce

It's not just Phil.

Jackson questions Pierce's injury -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

BOSTONCHICAGO - Paul Pierce's dramatic return was compelling theater, one of those defining, Willis Reed-type moments.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who had front-row seats at both events, wasn't so impressed.

"If I'm not mistaken," a cynic and sarcastic Jackson said Friday, "I think Willis Reed missed a whole half and three quarters almost of a game and literally had to have a shot, a horse shot, three or four of them in his thigh to come back out and play. Paul got carried off and was back on his feet in a minute."

Nate Thurmond and Sidney Moncrief were on TV and made the same observation. Both thought Pierce's injury was high drama. You get hurt, you go to the bench. When you go to the locker room, you'd better be out.
