Paul Pierce pulled off an upset in yesterday’s matchup to advance to the Final Four over John Havlicek. The upset of Havlicek means that both three seeds advanced, taking down the two-seeds – John Havlicek and Bob Cousy.
We started with 32 players and are now down to just four. Most people expected Bill Russell and Larry Bird to make the Final Four, however Kevin McHale and Paul Pierce have had their own versions of a cinderella run. It really proves how valuable bench players can be and the power of being a fan favorite for so many years.
