Paul Pierce will be a little lonelier at the All-Star Game than he has been in recent seasons. The Truth is Boston’s only representative on the Eastern Conference roster this season, with the rosters being selected today.That means, yes, Rajon Rondo was left off the team. And yes, Kevin Garnett will miss the All-Star Game for the first time since 1998-’99. And yes, Ray Allen’s streak of seven straight All-Star appearances is over, barring any injury-related addition to the roster in the coming weeks. And yes, Sasha Pavlovic will watch from the confines of his couch, wearing a Snuggie and playing Chutes and Ladders with his girlfriend, just as he has done during each of his nine seasons in the league.The Celtics have just one All-Star (and Rondo surely would have been their second, if he had not missed eight games due to injury — as Paul Flannery notes, a third of the season to date).

The evening would belong to Paul Pierce. The rest of the Celtics would make sure that Pierce's evening wouldn't be filled with mixed emotions.

In the past two days, Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant — two aging stars on teams that would be seventh seeds if the playoffs started today — have both conceded that championships remain the driving force.Championships.

Pierce Celts' No. 2 scorer, passes Bird (AP)

Via Yahoo! Sports  |  February 07, 2012
Paul Pierce knew what was on the line with every shot. The pressure was quite clear to Pierce and anyone else in the arena as he stood on the verge of passing Larry Bird for No. 2 on Boston's career scoring list. He needed only 10 points to overtake Bird when the Celtics hosted Charlotte on Tuesday night and those final three seemed as if they would never come.
