First of all... It's clear that everytime the Captain talks smack to opposing crowds, it's no good news. I like Pierce a lot, but it's not working because of the other two factors. So this is not the important one, but keep it quiet, Captain

Second, and more important, is that dog pics don't work out well in the game threads. FL does a great job, you have every TP from me, but please, don't post that horrid rothweiler pic. Seriously, that is an important part of the game.

And last but not least... please Stern, could you please go fishing and stop that officiating cheat? You got your 6 game guaranteed, so go wherever you want, drink a beer or two, or make sudokus... whatever. I'm really disgusted about that 4th quarter when every time the C's were near the fakers, they got the phantom calls, and still they were complaining. If Wilt Kareem "my knee is dating Lebron's elbow" Bynum were a Celtic, he'd be out of the league with all that taunting and complaining... disgusting

of course, there are minor factors, like rebounding, moving the ball, boxing out and making open shots. But that will come naturally. If the three main factors are kept in control, I say Celtics in 6.

Go Celtics!!! Go out Stern!!!
