Pierce

Next thing you know it's half time, and the Orlando is up by 12 and Ray Ray can't hit a shot. Pierce and Rondo look extremely tired -- not good for the Celtics. This bad news and bad start would continue as the Magic would have a 20 point lead in the 3rd quarter and this time they keep it, ending up with an ugly final score of 117-96!  As the Professor always says, if Rondo is on, we win; if not we lose!!! And last night the Professor said, "I believe Rondo is off tonight [which he was] and it looks like

Pierce got his 20 points, 9 rebounds; Ray Ray 23 and 7; Rondo 7 and 3 and 11 assists; and Per

We want Pierce being the captain that he is and taking control like he does in crucial moments. We want Ray Ray hitting his jumper (huge!) and Perkins and Big Baby Davis just doing what they do. And of course, we want to see KG back on the court working his magic.

 They had a chance with Pierce's wing and a prayer three point attempt, but Solomon's' block shut it down.  So it is over and the final score in the game 121 - 118. So now it's time to move past this, and get ready for Tuesday.   This is the perfect time to go up 3 -2 and keep the Bulls on their toes.  (Keep in mind the longer we string this out, the longer KG will have to heal).

Paul Pierce v. Kobe Bryant. Period. These two will be lighting up the scoreboard the whole series. Expect to see a couple of 40 point games. However this series is not just about the scorers

Paul Pierce, who defended like he did in his early years, is sometimes just not athletic enough to defend against the Joe Johnsons and LeBron James's. Thus this leads to KG stepping into the lane to get

They have all the ingredients to be a championship team, minus road records. If ?Allen, Pierce, and Garnett play close to their potential, not even a ludicrously amazing LeBroon-dunk could stop stop them. And they should be able to. But, this past few games showed that, only Garnett seems to be doing that and Allen and

Garnett and Allen, and a couple of cagey vets, House and Posey.  Add the Hungry Man, Paul Pierce to the mix, and Danny's got a pretty tasty TV dinner on the table.

But winning an NBA Championship this year still seemed like it would take a minor miracle for the Boston Celtics. Compete?  Obviously. Win 50 plus games?  Highly likely. Win the Eastern Conference?  Very possible.  But knock off a powerful Western team and bring the Title back to Boston?  Hmmm.  If we had a leprechaun on our side, I'd say maybe?

Since the last of the Big Three retired back in the 80's up until this year, Paul Pierce has been the only Celtic on a team of guys wearing Celtics uniforms. He is a Celtic with so much talent and heart that at times it got in his way. He often tried too hard. He took the loses personally. He's a great player. His personal stats get better with each passing year. For a lot of guys that's enough. Not for

I call myself the Sports Sage so that should give you a clue as to just how dumb I really am when it comes to actual sports knowledge. I watch sports because they are exciting, inspirational and free on TV. They happen in real time and have predictable commercials. Often we get to ooh and Ahhh at things that we will almost never be able to do while watching grown up people like us at play. Its a lot more fun than watching regular people like us work.
