Listen to Pierce speaking after game one:
"Regardless of [what] the MRI [shows] at this point," he said, "I mean, what is it really going to tell us? The extent of the injury? But at this point with two weeks left, six games to go, we can figure this out after the season."
I couldn't believe this quote when I read it and I want to share it with you all now. He said this after game one when the Celtics were up 1-0. He didn't say, "Hopefully we'll sweep" or "win in 5 or even 6"... he said the series is going 7! What kind of a competitive athlete would say that in that situation? This reminds me of when Stackhouse told reporters that he'd be right back with Dallas after he was traded. The players have inside info and they let it slip sometimes! Look out Celtics backers!
What's the current series line at bookmaker?
Cetlics -140
Lakers +120
That's exactly the line you'd expect in a game 7.
This is spooky, bizarre stuff. Rasheed Wallace said it best, this is entertainment, not basketball.
