Boston Herald - Paul Pierce will be the fifth Piston for a day.

“I’ll just try to blend in,” Pierce said after Eastern Conference coach Flip Saunders’ announced plans to send him out at the same time as the four Pistons on the roster - Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace. “It will be fun to be a Piston.”

More specifically, he’ll be Tayshaun Prince, the lone Piston starter not here.

“I like it because Paul is a (6-foot-7) forward, and I just thought that he’d play well with those guys,” said Saunders, Detroit’s coach. “I think he’ll really fit in with what we have.

“He’ll be the decoy. We’ll run our regular plays when we’re out there. That will be the most relaxing time of the game for me.”

Nice...

That'd be pretty sweet.

Run the regular plays for Prince? Awesome! Pierce can stand in the corner doing nothing, set screens, and overall do nothing but get garbage points out there!

The All Star Game wouldn't be so lame, if they did run plays and took it serious.

I just want to see our Pistons do some And1 shit we never see in games.

None of this play shit.

"2 CHEST!" "HAWK CUT!"

I'll fucking smack them.

I HATE Paul Pierce. Didn't he call out Prince earlier in the season?? I hope the Ben, Rasheed, Chauncey and Rip don't pass him the ball. I don't know who would have been my last pick to be the fifth "Piston" but I think VC and Pierce would have been the bottom two.

i wish Snaq was in the lineup.

then the Pistons went into full-out fastbreak mode and left Snaq in the dust, heaving.

I don't care about And1 shit, because that isn't us. I do want to see some good inside out shit. Into Sheed and back out to CBill for a long 3.

We are kinda like Zeke and JoeD of the old days, they'd get a steal and do a boring layup instead of the dunk. Kill the mofos with kindness.

I remember when Trip, Zeke and Laims were in the All Star game together and prolly won it for the East. If we help the team win would be bigger than the ESPN highlight reel, imo. Cause thats what we do.

Apparently, according to the West practice video on NBA.com Avery might run a Dirk Duncan Pau Yao KG lineup or something like that. And "post-up Chauncey" lol.

Other good videos as well on there.
