Pierce is going on TV about this, I mean frick dude let IT have a minute and then roll with your shite.


Why should he? He's having his number retired for the Boston Celtics. Not the Charlotte Hornets.

Why should Pierce have to share his night? I do not understand why IT was given a tribute to be very honest.


This. Pierce's number is being retired. Do the Celts give a tribute to every player they trade away? Like Pierce said, they feel shitty for trading him while injured and his sister dying.

But his little deal is scheduled for postgame.
Whaaaat?

I figured it would be stuff throughout the entire game. Videos, a speech, maybe some words from past teammates, etc..

They're gonna throw his jersey up in the rafters while some folks walk out of the arena?

And yeah, it should be no big deal to give IT a couple minutes during the game then.

IT didn’t want it because he wasn’t playing


So Thomas can call the shots now and Pierce can't?


Again what did Thomas ever do to get a tribute?

Did the Celtics give Gary Payton, Gugliotta, or Walter McCarty a tribute?

A lot more than other players who have gotten video tributes.

I think jae crowder got a tribute.

They're both babies.

IT should have just taken his tribute earlier.
Pierce shouldn't give AF.

This whole ordeal is sad as a Celtic fan. It’s like watching your two favorite uncles yell at each other during Thanksgiving.

The only reason they are giving IT a tribute video is because his sister died. And that's a terrible reason to even do it. If it was the Hawks or Pelicans, maybe. But the Celtics?


Absolutely untrue. If you aren’t a fan of the team you really wouldn’t understand how much he meant to Boston and how much he personified the culture of the city and the team. He definitely deserves a tribute video. Kelly Olynk got one during a timeout when we played the heat.

That being said, Pierce is a top 4 Celtic of all time and doesn’t deserve to share his night with anyone for a second. If Paul was cool with it, then go ahead and show it, but he isn’t. So push it back. Sorry IT.

Why? He doesn't deserve shite. He was paid pretty well for his work. Everything else is gratuitous.

So Paul Pierce continues to be the arbiter of who the real Celtics are? Front-runner KG is, but Ray Allen isn't. Thomas isn't. Punk arse Perk, I guess is. Pierce is a bizarre dude.
