pierce has redeemed himself and his performance in last night's game was reminiscent of another hometown great, Kirk Gibson.
pierce goes down, looks like a knee sprain (that's sometimes a season ending injury or at least an extended period on the IL). he is carried out. boston fans are silenced.
THEN...outta nowhere, a shot of the tunnel - here come Paul....BOSTON ERUPTS! timeout. out of the timeout and hobbled on one leg - Paul Pierce for 3.....GOOD. next trip down the court - Paul Pierce for another 3....GOOD!
this gives the Cs a large cushion, Doc takes out P2 to avoid further injury. and then the shot of P2 on the exercise bike by the tunnel, encircled by large, robust, New England diehards cheering him on as he pedals. paul is overcome w/ the love, he starts laughing....(something "P Squared" is not caught frequently doing).
CELTICS WIN! CELTICS WIN!
p.s. Posey, keep that lockdown on Mamba going in Game 2.
