Isn't it time to put Paul Pierce among the top 3 players in the NBA?

Without Allen or Garnett, he single-handedly carry the team on his back, scoring 36 and 37 points in his last two games, something even Kobe or LeBron has never done. Pierce showed that he can carry a team, and doesn't need help from players such as Mo Williams and Pau Gasol, nor Michael Beasley. Do I hear underrated?
