TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers
I love beating the Lakers. It's even better when the win is a humiliating blow out. The Lakers were jubilant when the Celtics got called for 5 fouls inside of 30 seconds to start the game but when the calls started to even out, they started crying and whining about it. Of course, there were multiple wheelchair references. And I got the feeling that most Lakers fans hate their own players as much as they do the Celtics. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? Enjoy....
I just saw a pic of Rondo in a Lakers jersey and it weirded me out.
Boston has been red hot since Rondo went down, hope MWP comes back and plays well vs Pierce. We cant let guys like Jeff Green, Jason Terry, Courtney Lee and Barbosa go off on us.
Two oldass teams but we have Clark.
Blowout by Celtics.
Lakers are rested and Celtics playd a close game last night. Old teams can't play back to back games. We got this one. Book it.
We have won three road games in a row you know. The ...

Vintage Pierce leads Celtics to 116-95 win over Lakers
If you missed this game, wow I feel bad for you. Tonight was a vintage Paul Pierce game, led by an offensive explosion in the third quarter. The first half played at a much slower pace, dominated by the refs but the Celtics had the game in their control all night. Pierce led the Celtics with 24 and Bean was the leading scorer for the Flakers with 27. The Truth was obviously jacked...
Celtics looking to add a big man, 'owe it' to KG and Pierce to make a run
Six straight wins have lifted the Celtics three games over .500, and into 7th place in the Eastern Conference. Not ideal playoff position by many stretch, but the team has flourished since losing Rajon Rondo for the season, and it seems they've done enough to impress team President Danny Ainge. According to Ric Bucher, Ainge has taken note of the recent stretch, propelled by...
Paul Pierce Keeps Something in Tank for Lakers, Always Likes to ‘Give Them Old-Fashioned Beat Down’
BOSTON — This was not just another game. When the Celtics and Lakers play, even if their cumulative records are below .500 and their seasons have been more disappointing than triumphant, nobody in green or purple tries to give the old sports trope about every game counting the same. This game means a little extra, especially to Paul Pierce, born and raised in Inglewood, Calif....
Paul Pierce isn’t interested in being on team that is rebuilding
The Boston Celtics have won their last 5 games since Rondo went down with a torn ACL. The general consensus was that without Rondo and the advanced age of the Celtics, hopes of a title this season are effectively older. Celts head coach Doc Rivers said not to count the team out but at least one member of the franchise has acknowledged that he’s not willing to apart of a team that’s...
Paul Pierce Says He Could Retire Or Go Elsewhere If Celtics Rebuild
While Paul Pierce is one-hundred percent committed to the Celtics right now, in the absence of Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger, the captain might not be so committed to what’s next for the franchise. If Celtics GM, Danny Ainge, decides to go into a rebuilding direction next season, Paul Pierce doesn’t want to be a part of it.
According to Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald:

Old man Paul Pierce is doing what Rajon Rondo did for Boston Celtics
When Celtics All Star Rajon Rondo was lost to a season ending injury he was dominating the NBA in triple doubles, even posting one in each of his final two games. In Boston’s first contest without Rondo, Paul Pierce managed a trible double of his own. During the C’s 5 game winning streak Pierce has continually put up some very Rondo-esque numbers. His scoring is down...
‘Most Likely’ Scenario Is Paul Pierce And Kevin Garnett Will No Be Traded
Sure, the rumors are fun, but Celtics President of Basketball Operations, Danny Ainge, shot them down Thursday when asked about the much talked about trade assets, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. He stated comfortably, that the most likely scenario is that the two will not be traded at the deadline.

Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 2/6
Good win for the Celtics. They pulled it out in the end. The Raptors fans are always active on their game threads. They complained about their own players a whole lot more than the Celtics though. I can never get used to fans wishing an injury on a player. It's just so wrong. It's also amazing that probably half of the teams in the league hate their coaches. My...
Garnett And Pierce Quiet Trade Rumors, Lead Celtics To Fifth Straight Post-Rondo
Celtics 99, Raptors 95
Earlier this week Kevin Garnett responded to rumors that the Celtics core players may be traded with a simple, defiant phrase. He told reporters, “I bleed green” and in Boston’s fifth consecutive win at Toronto on Wednesday night, he proved it. Garnett posted a vintage line with 27 points and 10 rebounds in 32 minutes, while shooting an efficient 11-18...
Celtics rout Lakers 116-95 for 6th straight win
The familiar ''Beat LA!'' chant started in the third quarter.
It's easier to do that now than it was during most of the Lakers-Celtics rivalry. But there's still something special when the teams who have met in a record 12 NBA Finals face each other, even if they've been struggling just to reach the playoffs.
''No matter what direction these...
