    Where "Bitter Celtics Fans" Happens

    You guys will win in six games, so what? I agree what Horford did was unnecessary but he didn't throw up any gang signs. Plus it's not like Pierce is suspended, just pay up and go win the series.

        I agree it's kind of silly if they fine him now for the gesture, if he does in fact do it before all games. Also, you should appeal even if your guilty. Finally though, the commish does have to fine him because so many people say the NBA is full of thugs and hoodlums (I don't, but other people do) and if you don't discipline that, than those thoughts will continue.

    Why the samdiggity would he do that?
    I love Paul Pierce - but really!? Why?
    He just cost himself a bunch of money and probably causing potential endorsments to think twice.

        I think it looks like his is doing the "3 point" sign.

      DATS W@tZ UP!!!!
  • I think he lost it for a moment , but I think he's entitled to that at least once. The guy is an all-star so he's not going to let that young guy talk all that mess and get away with it . The big picture is I think there's a uncle tom guy who knows the streets and told the NBA commitee that it was a gang sign , anyway!!! No one in the commitee knows what that mean so I think they need to shut guys like Josh Howard down before we're all exposed !!!

    For the record I am not a Boston fan nor am I a fan of Paul Pierce but I must say he does look like he is doing the 3point sign. But hey if Sheed can get a tech for saying "the ball don't lie" anything can happen. I say if you are going to call it on one call it on all no matter who it is!!! All this taunting and trash talking is really on another level, its the playoffs people!!!!!

      and Al Horford might have pissed the hell off paul Pierce in game 3
