I doubt it was acting. I've hurt my knee seriously before (had to have surgery) and when it happened it didn't seem like much. On the other hand one time I was playing basketball I hurt myself, was in serious pain, thought I had really hurt myself and it didn't turn out to be much.

I don't know, I mean did it go through Pierce's head in the split second after he got hit by Perkins to fake an injury for sympathy or some kind of basketball advantage? LOL, definitely a quick thinker.

I do think he's kind of hanging on to it now cause he's embarrassed of his reaction but that's it.

Either way, as long as Pierce continues to be as good or better than Kobe the Lakers are in the shit. It could easily turn completely in LA though.
