Paul Pierce's Pain and Pride
The Boston Celtics unfortunately took Game 1 of the NBA Finals last night against the LA Lakers in Boston.
They were led by veteran Paul Pierce who was injured in the third quarter. With shades of Willis Reed limping onto the Garden floor in 1970, Pierce returned to the roar of the crowd. Laker Coach Phil Jackson wisely took a timeout to try to stop the momentum. But, Pierce hit three point shots including a four point play after being fouled by Vladimir Radmanovic.
Pierce finished with 22 points and the Celtics won 98-88.
I don't hate Pierce nor KG or Ray Allen for that matter. I must root for the Lakers because I became a fan in the 1980s. (I met former Lakers Magic Johnson and Vlade Divac in July 1991 and February 2002, respectively.). Though I predicted a Celtics NBA Championship before the beginning of the season, I want the Lakers to win and the Celtics to lose as to prevent the Boston Sports Apocalypse.
If you think Patriots and Red Sox fans are obnoxious, the Celtics fans will be much worse because they haven't won in a long time. Celtics fans may not know what to do with themselves and may even totally destroy the beautiful city of Boston if the Celtics win. The fate of Boston, the sports world, and the rest of the world relies on your prayers and the Lakers to prevent the Boston Sports Apocalypse.
