"Paul had a chance to leave us when we were bad," Rivers said. "And instead of moaning that he wanted to go to a championship team, he stayed. And he said, 'I simply want to be a Celtic and I trust that we’re going to win a title someday.' He had no reason to believe that at that time. I mean, we were pretty awful. "To me, I wish people talked about his loyalty more because I think that’s special, especially in this day and time when everybody’s jumping from team to team. And that’s their right too; I don’t begrudge that with anybody. But I do think it’s special that Paul Pierce decided that he wanted to be a Celtic for his life. And I think that’s pretty cool. In this day and time, in any sport, I think that’s special.” Pierce watched the team endure a franchise-worst 18-game losing ...

Comments from the other side - Grizzlies 2/5
Grizzlies fans seem to be more civil than NY fans but still fun. I love how they start out talking about how old the Celtics are and how they'll run them out of the building and then being amazed at how the Celtics are out-running them. Also every team wonders how Ray Allen gets open shots. He runs his tail off through a ton of screens. These young guys just can't keep...
