Game 3 starts in about an hour. Enjoy Senor Fresh's remix to Whatever We Like before the game and let's hope Kevin dominates the paint, Paul gets to the line, Ray pops threes, and Rondo triple dubs the Celtics to a 3-0 series lead.

Paul Pierce spokeman for National Spokesperson for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation
Paul Pierce just tweeted on his twitter account that he is the National Spokesperson for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Check out the website here. Pierce has always gotten involved in the Boston community and in his hometown in California. It's nice to see Boston athletes getting so involved in the community. Props to Pierce for supporting the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.
Doc Rivers may leave Celtics in off-season
Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers is leaning toward leaving the team after this season, sources told the Boston Herald, but he told the newspaper Tuesday that no final decision had been made about his future.
There had been rumors in seasons past about the 48-year-old Rivers stepping down, and once again it's the tug of his family life -- not another NBA coaching opportunity -- that may pull him away.
Family first. You know at first when I look at this article I said to myself it makes perfect sense for Doc to leave the Celtics after this season. He has three seniors, one in college and two in high school. One of his sons is one of the best high school basketball players and will be starting his college career. He doesn't want to miss this time in his son's life. He needs to be there for his son. To help his son and watch his son achieve success. Then, you know I actually sat down and thought about it for a minute. Family first. That phrase is used all the time in this situation, but what about the Celtic family?
Back when the Celtics signed Doc to a contract to coach the team I thought it was a horrible decision. I did not think Doc was the right man for a job. He was fired from the Orlando Magic for his inability to create a winner. There was no denying Doc could coach the young guys and develop them, but he was not a proven winner. Secondly he was not a Celtic. Doc was an Atlanta Hawk, he had been through the battles through out the 80s against the Celtics and should have hated them. Why would a Hawk be a good fit for the Celtics? There was so many ex-Celtics out there dying for a job, why didn't Danny give one of them a shot. Instead, he chose an Atlanta Hawk to bring back the Celtic pride? Give me a fucking break, right?
Then Doc went on to lead the Celtics to a championship with the aid of Danny Ainge trading for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. There was some Doc supporters who said Doc deserved praise for taking a bunch of players who had never played together and turn them into a championship winning team. There was also a flip side who said the team didn't even need a coach. They were so talented they were going to win the championship no matter what. Especially since Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce wanted it so badly.
I was on neither side. I was 50/50. I thought Doc did what he always did. Didn't lose a game for the Celtics that year, but most certainly didn't win a game. He does a solid job year in and year out. You get exactly what you want from Doc. Exactly what the team should do.
So it this brings me back to my original point. Family first. Doc River is choosing his family first. The Rivers family. That's why Danny should have hired a Celtic. If he had done that, family would never be a reason because the coach's family would have been the Celtics. Just before the ship sinks and the Celtics become even older than they look today, Rivers is going to bolt and claim he needs to be there for his kids.
And that my friends proves, Celtic tradition was not brought back with Banner 17. There is no Celtic Pride anymore. The team has shown that this season and now the coach will show it this off-season.
So Danny, do what is right for the Celtics and not for Doc. Don't let Doc sit around all off-season and try to decide. We don't need a Brett Favre saga here. When you get bumped out of the first or second round, tell Doc to go be with his kids like he wants to be. Get someone in here that will restore Celtic Pride. Someone that will infuse energy into the big 3. Someone that will tell Rasheed Wallace to stop shooting threes and get down low. Someone who will call out Kendrick Perkins. Get someone in here with a vision. Someone who can win games when we least expect. Someone who will restore Celtic Pride.
Are these the gayest Shoes you've ever seen?
Kobe Does It Again...
"Nicknamed the “Black Mamba“, Kobe Bryant’s favorite movie and lethal nickname provided the inspiration behind the Big Nike High and Auto Flight High below. In addition to being an incredibly dangerous snake, “Black Mamba” was also the nickname for of the most deadly member of the “Deadly Viper Assassination Squad”, played by Uma Thurman.
The Big Nike High’s colorway is quite obvious with the upper also receiving a splattering of blood – most likely from the blade of a Hattori Hanzo sword! The Auto Flight High comes with a mixed nubuck/leather upper and a classy vulcanized bottom.
The in-soles also feature Black Mamba’s infamous “Death List”, with a little Kobe-twist to it. Last year’s NBA championship defeat was over the Boston Celtics – leaving Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to be the first 2 names crossed off Kobe’s list. Will #’s 3, 4, and 5 be next?"Well Kobe you did it again. When you're not raping chicks you're endorsing gay hollywood shoes. I mean do you really call yourself the "Black Mamba"? If so, I'm out of the loop cause I've never heard Gasol yell out, "Hey Black Mamba, pass this huge spanish dork the rock!" On top of the fact these shoes suck more dick than Perez Hilton, you put a "Kill List" on the bottom sole! Really? Realllllllly Kobe? #1 on the list, Ray Allen, and #2, Paul Pierce! I'm not 100% sure, but last time I checked the Lakers beat the Magic last year in the Finals (with the C's losing in the semis). I completely understand the logic behind it though because the Lakers beat the Celtics in the 2008 NBA Finals. Jimminy crickets what am I saying! My fault I forgot. The Celtics ran freight on Kobe and the rest of the Lakers assholes beating them in smooth six.
Moral of the story, get your facts straight Kobe and stick to raping chicks. You've uncovered you're god given talent, and we can tell it ain't no shoe designin'!

Pierce Goes Nuts On Bosh
Paul Pierce not only dunks on Chris Bosh, he gives Bosh a stomach ache that he will never forget.
Not only did he receive a stomach ache, he finished the game speaking in soprano.

NBA Top 50: Rajon Rondo (No. 13)
When drawing up this list, I actually wrote about Rondo, "He’s not higher because it’s yet to be seen if he can lead (and if the team can allow him to lead) like he did in the playoffs." After thirty-seven days of writing up write-ups on the best NBA players (save this last baker's dozen), I'm not sure if I still agree with this ranking for Rajon. I was impressed enough by his play in the playoffs to pump up the volume and give him the coveted one-three spot. The numbers are there. Twelve points, eight assists, and five rebounds regular season? Solid. In the playoffs? Try out nearly 17 points, and just under ten assists and boards. That's epic. That's Big O numbers. Oh, and great defense. Heading into this season, though, I gotta say I'm feeling a bit hesitant about this position for Rondo.

Danny Ainge, for some inexplicable reason, let leak during this offseason that Rondo might not stay with the Celts. I have no idea what that was about, but it could spell two different directions for Red Rondo. (Is it possible Rondo got on the Red Bull tip not to get under the skin of then opponents Chicago Bulls but rather to make a bid for succession of P-double's Auerbach certification of approval? Thin, I know, but athletes have been known to take advertising gigs for less. I've never understood the big deal with those green pieces of paper with Benjamin Franklin on 'em.)

NBA Top 50: Paul Pierce (No. 14)
Paul Pierce, originally uploaded by ryan_fors.
Paul Pierce is a lion. When you talk Celtics, you're talking tradition. Pierce buys into that in a way many younger players don't, or maybe even can't. He's the last player left on the Celts who actually had Red Auerbach in his ear. As a Lakers fan, it's hard for me to ignore P-squared's relationship with LA. He was born in Inglewood and grew up idolizing Magic. Then he got drafted tenth by Boston in '98. Dude never looked back. Tore up the league. Sixteen plus for ten plus seasons. Picked up one of the ringing-est (I'm talking resonant not fingers) nicknames in the biz, dubbed the Truth by, that's right, an LA player.
I bring up Pierce's LA connection not for any grievance or retrieval, but rather to point out how successful he's been. Sure there were the losing seasons. But he's become so synonymous with Celtics basketball that...well, only an LA fan would bring up any of the stuff I just did. Sorry. Let's get to the point. While Garnett has been kind of like King Arthur, coming powerful and rallying the troops to fend off the invading Saxons (Lakers), or King Kamehameha for all my faithful in the 808, Pierce has been more like King Richard I. Y'know, the Lionheart. In this metaphor, the kingdom is the championship. Y'know what? It's a flimsy construct, but hear me when I say, though Pierce has not always led his teams to the playoffs, he's been in the trenches with his teams, not trifling with Guinivere (the first round) or Lancelot (Kobe? Lancelot was French, and the French are descendants of the Saxons...anyone else getting ready for the 2012 Olympics already?). His career pursuit has been pure: take his team to the Promised Land.

Number 17 got number 34 the number 16 spot on my list last year. After another season on notice, the Truth just got that much clearer. Pierce is the real deal and. And another important number? He's only 31.
Gotta Love a Gimmick - Basketball Penalty Box
In Game 1 today versus the Chicago Bulls, Paul Pierce had a chance to win the game with 2 seconds left in regulation. All he had to do was hit his second free throw after he had already hit the first to tie. Simple right? Nope, Pierce missed, the game went into overtime, and the Derrick Rose led Bulls came out on top. Fiddlesticks.So what to do at a time like this as a Celtics fan? Well, I realized I have a related gimmick, so I'll post that. Apparently Chattanooga Central High and McCallie School, both of Tennessee, were supposed to face off in a basketball game in 1953. Only instead of using free throws when players were fouled, the game was to use penalty boxes, as in hockey, thanks to the approval of some dude named A.F. Bridges. There would be different penalty times for different fouls, as well as power play situations where the penalized team was down a man. It was truly weird stuff, but also quite innovative.
Only I can't actually find record of the game being played. One Chattanooga Central site has record of every win and loss from the 1953 season, and McCallie is not listed. Granted, this sounded like an exhibition game that wouldn't have counted towards anything, but you'd think record of it would exist somewhere. Regardless, I'll keep looking for more information on it, and if any of you readers out there have some, could you please share, as I'd love to see how the game turned out!
