that's a looooot of owning. You'd be hard pressed to find a more dominant run against a singular team in the playoffs in the modern era. I clarified that I'm talking about Bron v. Celtics w/ or without Pierce.

But in the head to head matchup - Bron owned Pierce in the games that mattered most. It's not even close.

5-0 after 2010. That ain't close.

But it's true: The Celtics made Bron tougher (just like the Pistons made Jordan tougher). And like Zeke (who still can't give Jordan his just due) - Pierce is bitter from that rivalry and having his legacy ended prematurely by Bron (just like Zeke's legacy ended a bit early by Jordan). So it ain't a mystery to why Pierce can't give Bron his just due.
