I am really questioning Pierce. 

Was last year a fluke, or is this year a fluke?

I am really questioning Pierce. 

Was last year a fluke, or is this year a fluke?

Earlier today, in the wee hours of the night, you said you’d wait and see what he does next year. And now one game has changed your stance?  Is that a fair take?

Hell no that’s an unfair take. I’ve been questioning Pierce for a while now. And I do want to give him more time. But questioning him means I’m not certain he can get it done.
