Clippers' Paul Pierce: Will start again Thursday

Pierce will draw another start at power forward in Thursday's game against the Clippers, Dan Woike of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Pierce got the starting nod in Blake Griffin's first game being sidelined, and produced seven points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) to go along with one rebound accross 18 minutes. Given that the Clippers are sticking with Pierce against the Spurs' tough frontcourt, it appears they intend on keeping him as a starter going forward. That certainly can be subject to change, but look for him to notch a similar workload to his previous outing as a starter.
