Former Celtics great makes regrettable promise about Game 2

Pierce promised the panel on FS1's "Speak" that if the Celtics lost Game 2, he would walk to work on Thursday.

"If the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I'm walking here tomorrow," Pierce declared. "In my robe, no shoes on, bare feet...No shot we lose. No chance. You've got a better chance of walking out of this studio and seeing a dinosaur!"

Unfortunately for Pierce and his toes, the New York Knicks rallied from 20 points down to beat the Celtics in Boston, 91-90. The Celtics played like they were playing barefoot and wearing bathrobes down the stretch, getting outscored 23-6 in the last 8:30 of the game.

Pierce presumably did not take his advice and "Bet the house" on the Celtics, or at least the house is still in escrow. After the game, he posted a screenshot of walking directions from his home to the Fox Studios in Century City. It's only a 20.2-mile walk!

Should Pierce take the most direct route, which would send him through several parks and canyons, his estimated walking time would be just over eight hours. That's a brutal journey, but there's one silver lining for Pierce. Once he gets to the studio, he can try to see a dinosaur.
