We knew 34 was being retired all along but now it's officially announced. Wonder when KG's is confirmed.

He was walking around the Commons for 30-45 minutes meeting fans just now.

hopped in the uber to try to catch him, but he ended his IG Live 2 min into my ride, lol. Turned the uber around. Probably was gonna be gone by the time I got there.

Part of me still thinks I should have went to try to catch him still but ah well.

Heck I'd stash Yabs and sign him or KG to a real 1 year deal.

Coming home to what? Have they offered him a front office job? Is he moving back to Boston from LA?

IIRC He did not want to go, but he convinced KG to waive his no trade clause, all for the good of the team

Both Pierce and Garnett, took one for the Celtics team.
Stand-up Guys, both.

It'd be hella fun but we can't afford to waste a roster spot. If they wanna coach then sure.

Great day for Celtics fans. Best signing of the offseason. At least the GE logo says one thing: that he was a Celtic in 2017.

That was a great gesture. Well deserved! For a while I just couldn't believe he'll be retiring as a Clipper. It's great to see him retire as a Cs!

We practically can waste a roster spot. Theis and Yabs might contribute less. We're considering bringing back Gerald.

I agree it's a frivolous proposition but we're not in a roster crunch.

**** Felger saying **** shock jock Felger things.

http://www.csnne.com/video/felger-and-mannix-debate-where-paul-pierce-ranks-celtics-history

You can debate Pierce's place in Boston sports history. But to say that his number shouldn't be retired and question what he did for this organization makes me legitimately angry. He was the Boston Celtics for an entire generation. My generation. I never got Bird, McHale, Parish, Russell, Hondo or Cowens. But I sure as hell got Paul Pierce. We all get it. He hates basketball. But show a little respect for the dude who gave everything this his team. This puck head stands up and cheers when toothless brain dead hockey players punch each other in the face. But he can't recognize that the truth carried the flag for the greatest franchise in the history of the NBA for almost 2 decades?

Yeah we have a lot of retired numbers. Celtics fans appreciate and love their team. The bruins hang a lot of banners too that shouldn't be up there. Take a look at all the division title banners that are hanging so it looks like their keeping up with the C's.

Go to hell Felger.
