When it comes to figuring out what will decide the NBA Finals, Paul Pierce sees something in Tristan Thompson.

To Paul and the rest of the crew on The Jump, Thompson is a throwback to a time when players playing hard every night was a given, not a rarity.

Later, discussion turned to Steph Curry, and what kind of impact he would have in the Finals. Paul wanted to see the two-time MVP show up the way he does at his best.
