I'm surprised noone mentioned the interview with Stern last night on TNT. Miller ambushed Stern with a question about the fine and he first said he knew nothing about it and then said whatever Stu did was right he was sure. It was disgusting and Stern's lucky he has coddled up with ESPN the last few years or else they wouldn't be protecting his scumbag ass.

Out for the Celtics? Please. The NBA wants a Celtics-Lakers finals bro, stop being delusional. The Hawks are just playing solid basketball right now and you guys are getting upset that it's more competitive than you thought it would be.

Before you post stuff like this, do a little research. Do you know anything about the way the league has treated the Celtics over the years vis a vis Len Bias and Reggie Lewis? Celtics fans have every right to be pissed off at Stern for the crap he's pulled against our franchise over the years.

I just don't have the energy for this stuff anymore...sheesh.

Thank you. We have consistently gotten screwed over worse than other teams in matters like this.

I'm with you, anorexcism, it doesn't look like anything other than a bloods threat--and judging from the league's (and Danny's) reaction that seems to be the case. Too bad. Another Celtics playoff series where Pierce loses his composure in a bad way.

But if someone's gonna spank the C's I'm kind of glad that it's the Hawks, because the year-long canonization of the C's Big 3 veterans over the rest of the team has been tiresome.

Let's hope they can turn it around.

Taken from The Big Show section on WEEI.

Pierce needs to submit this as evidence to his appeal with the NBA officials.

This is ridiculous. Look at Mumbles...

All those guys look like they're in a gang except, of course, the three white gentleman.

Not to mention that the three not-white guys are wearing a RED Sox hats. **** gang bangers...

I hope the NBA (Stern and Jackson) cracks under the pressure of media attention as did the NFL (Goodell) when the Patriots versus Giants regular season game wouldn't be a national televised game. The NFL cracked and the NBA needs to rescind the fine.

Let's all email the nba offices all these pictures.

if pierce threw a hand sign that means "boston" at horford i would have to say taht would be the lamest thing i ever saw

Horford: "I just j'ed you and disrespected you and put the game out of reach"

Pierce,while foaming at the mouth: "BOSTON BOSTON. IM FROM BOSTON"

The point might have been to say: We [Boston] still have home court advantage. On the other hand, Pierce could've simply ignored Horford knowing that the series is far from over. Let Atlanta enjoy these home wins. They haven't won anything, but after two consecutive victories in the series. You'll think by their display of celebration that they'd won a NBA championship. You could tell them to act like they've been there before but they haven't been there in nine seasons.

It had nothing to do with Boston. Give it up. Just because some people do it in Boston does not mean that Pierce did it to rep Boston. Sh*t, I bet some people are throwing up the 3's in China right now and it has some other stupid meaning over there.

I take Pierce at his word when he says it means blood, sweat, and tears.

Not even Pierce is claiming that his sign was related to this one, or that it meant "Boston". I thought the official story was that it represented "blood, sweat, and tears"?

There are lots of signs that look similar. Shira Springer did a story this morning on all the various possibilities. It doesn't make much sense to insist that the sign he made was the same one as Menino, though, when Pierce isn't claiming that.

Pierce is claiming that. Someone called WEEI first thing this morning even before the photo came out and said the sign was a Boston sign that meant blood, sweat and tears. So you're wrong.

Someone called WEEI

I stopped reading after that. Seriously, someone called WEEI and you are putting more credence in the caller than Paul Pierce himself?

It means what Paul Pierce wants it to mean. Pierce has never said it has anything to do with same the sign that some people in Boston throw up to represent the city, nor does it have anything to do with the same Bloods sign. It's a complete coincidence that the signs are the exact same.

FYI I'm not insisting anything. If you read back I made the suggestion that I thought it could mean the letter "B." Then I'd posted the picture after hearing about it posted on the WEEI site on Wednesday. This picture is of the mayor shown displaying a similar hand gesture. That's it. You should take care not to misread people. I took the picture as amusing so I posted it. Anything said within that particular post was said in jest. Because I'm already aware of what Pierce said so I don't need you to tell me something I already know. And I already know and have listen to Ainge's thoughts on the matter. Again, you're barking up the wrong tree.
