Apparently DP had a bit of a come to Jesus after the nightcap  according to Dustin McComas on Twitter to the point that he forgot about the media waiting on him. If that’s true and Dustin is superb in his coverage that means Pierce really likes this team. You don’t chew in weekend 2 unless you think your team can really handle it.
