This is a little something I put together for the living legend Paul Pierce. I can't wait till he comes back from injury. SICK highlights Enjoy! Comment!!! Paul Pierce Mix: One Blood |
BOSTON, June 5, 2008 (AP) -- Sprawled near the edge of the famed parquet floor, Paul Pierce grabbed his throbbing right knee and wondered if his first NBA finals - the ones he had always dreamed of playing in - were finished.
"A lot was going though my head,'' Pierce said. "'It can't be over like this.'''
The Boston Celtics' captain wouldn't quit.
He came back out, carrying the franchise's title hopes with him.
Pierce, who as a kid growing up in Los Angeles used to sneak into Lakers games, returned from a knee injury to inspire and lead Boston to an emotional and tense 98-88 victory on Thursday night in Game 1 of these tradition-soaked NBA finals.
Pierce's dramatic return after being carried from the court and then wheeled down a hallway for treatment will be added to the annals of Celtics-Lakers finals lore, taking a spot alongside Magic Johnson's baby sky hook and Kevin McHale's clothesline of Kurt Rambis.
Pierce's comeback drew immediate comparisons to Willis Reed, the former New York Knicks great who once hobbled onto the court of Madison Square Garden before Game 7 of the 1970 finals against the Lakers. Some of the savvy Celtics fans chanted Reed's name in tribute.
"I wasn't trying to imitate him,'' Pierce said. "I'm just glad I was able to get back out there.''
Kevin Garnett scored 24 points, Pierce finished with 22 - 11 after going down - and Ray Allen, the third member of Boston's Big Three, added 19 for the Celtics, who are chasing a 17th NBA championship. The trio was making its first finals appearance, and for a short time it appeared only two of them would finish their long-awaited debut.
With 6:49 left in the third quarter, Pierce was deep in the lane when teammate Kendrick Perkins crashed into him from behind, crumpling Boston's No. 34 to the court. The 10-year veteran, who last summer thought his days with Boston might be nearing an end, had to be carried from the court in extreme pain and was taken to Boston's locker room in a wheelchair.
"When I came down I thought I felt a pop, I thought I tore it,'' Pierce said. "I couldn't move.''
The sight of Pierce leaving in the arms of teammates Brian Scalabrine and Tony Allen drew gasps from some Celtics fans and coach Doc Rivers' heart sunk.
"I thought the worst,'' Rivers said. "When they carried him off, I just thought it was the knee.''
However, everyone's worries were soothed just moments later when Pierce returned to Boston's bench and checked back in with 5:04 remaining. As Pierce jogged onto the court with a black elastic wrap on his knee, Garnett clinched a fist and screamed, "Yes!''
"Everybody was rejuvenated,'' said Garnett, who had 13 rebounds. "It was good to see him.''
Soon, more than 18,000 others were screaming as Pierce made two 3-pointers in just 22 seconds, capping a 15-point quarter and giving the Celtics a 75-71 lead.
"When I got in the back I could put some weight on it,'' said Pierce, who limped into his postgame news conference with his knees wrapped in ice. "I knew I needed to be out there for my team.''
Pierce was told by team doctor Brian McKeon that he has a strained knee, and wouldn't speculate on whether he'll miss any time.
"We'll see how it feels tomorrow and the next day and go from there,'' Pierce said.
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 24 points, but the regular-season MVP was just 9-of-26 from the field as the league's top defensive team kept close tabs on him. Bryant, attempting to win a fourth NBA title - and first without Shaquille O'Neal - had numerous shots rattle out and spent most of his 42 minutes in the game searching for a rhythm.
"I had some good looks, they just didn't go down for me,'' Bryant said. "I just missed some bunnies. I'll be thinking about those a little bit.''
Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol had 15 points apiece and Lamar Odom added 14 for the Lakers, who had won the first two games of their previous three series this postseason. Los Angeles will try to even the finals in Game 2 on Sunday night.
This is the 11th meeting in the finals between the Celtics and Lakers, and the first since 1987 has been treated like the return of a lost friend by basketball fans aching for the days when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird went sneaker to sneaker.
Game 1 lived up to the hype as both teams challenged every shot, sprawling for loose balls and intensely defending their baskets. Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Jerry West and the rest of the greats who made the rivalry special would have been proud.
With their crowd breaking into the familiar "Beat L.A.'' chants from the outset, the Celtics led 77-73 after three quarters and quickly pushed their lead to eight in the fourth following a 3-pointer by James Posey. Fisher and Sasha Vujacic scored to get the Lakers within 86-82, but Pierce countered with a jumper and made two free throws to put Boston up 90-82. Paul Pierce 22pts vs Bryant&La |

Paul Anthony Pierce (born October 13, 1977 in Oakland, California) is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the NBA. He has been a starter every season since being selected by the Celtics in the 1998 NBA Draft. He also led Boston to an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2002. After his NBA debut, Pierce's ability to score, rebound, and a healthy dose of late-game heroics led to his emergence as a top player in the Eastern Conference. Paul was selected with the 10th overall pick in the first round of the 1998 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics.
Pierce has often played his best games against the best individual competition, such as LeBron James, Tracy McGrady, and Kobe Bryant. For instance, Pierce scored a career high 50 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 15, 2006. After the game, James stated that he feels that Pierce is the top at the position in the Eastern Conference. In the 2005-06 NBA season, Pierce had the highest points-per-shot average among the top 30 scorers in the league, indicating that he is an efficient and consistent player.
Pierce, who has been with the Celtics for 9 years, is tied with Zydrunas Ilgauskas of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks for fourth place among active players who have played their entire NBA career for one team. Pierce became the first Celtics player since Larry Bird to reach 2,000 points in a single season. Paul Pierce - Fierce |

cavs should win that game
BOSTON, May 18 (AP) -- Paul Pierce hit a shot. Then LeBron James answered. Pierce hit another and so did James.
It was like that all game long, two of the NBA's best trying to carry their teams to the next round. Pierce and the Boston Celtics succeeded, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 97-92 on Sunday.
Twenty years earlier there was another thrilling shootout in another seventh game of the Eastern Conference semifinals in Boston -- Larry Bird vs. Dominique Wilkins.
And the result was the same: a narrow Celtics victory that sent them to the conference finals against Detroit.
Pierce scored 41 points, James had 45 and Boston remained unbeaten in the playoffs at home, where the first two games against the Pistons will be played Tuesday and Thursday night.
"It is a great feeling," Pierce said. "We knew this was going to be a tough, tough series."
In a seven-game series in which the road team never won, the Celtics had many green-clad fans on their side. Lucky the Mascot held up a sign reading, "ROCK THE GARDEN!" and the crowd roared. Pierce got the loudest ovation when he was introduced with his nickname, "The Truth."
And when the game started, one fan bellowed, "Not today, LeBron!"
It wasn't Wilkins' day on May 22, 1988, even though he outscored Bird in Boston's 118-116 win over Atlanta at the old Boston Garden. Wilkins finished with 47 points, with 16 in the fourth quarter, and Bird had 34, with 20 in the final period.
"I'm very aware of the game," Pierce said. "They don't ever let you forget it when you look up to the jumbotron."
James has seen plenty of highlights of that mano-a-mano tussle.
"We both tried to will our team to victory and, just like Dominique Wilkins, I ended up on the short end and the Celtics won again," he said. "I think the second round of the postseason, Game 7, these fans will finally have an opportunity to forget a little bit about what Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins did and remember what Paul and LeBron did.
"This will go down in history."
Pierce hit 13 of 23 shots and James went 14-for-29. NBA Playoffs 08 Game 7 Boston |
