Man kinda sucks for Pierce because - it sure seems to me that he wants to be a nice guy.. But now he has to be like no not IT. That's a crappy position to put him in. Shame Danny..

Exactly -- people's lack of perspective on this is out of control.
IT is going to be at the game and playing in the game. It's not like we're flying him in special.
IT is going to get introduced. He will get a loud reception.
As part of this, we can play a brief 'Thanks IT!' video.
Then the game will happen.
Then the PP ceremony will happen.
OMFG people it's all fine.
As to the public 'battle' on this ego makes superstars so PP and IT are going to say what they're going to say, but my gosh keeping some perspective is a good life skill for most of the rest of us.

I actually think he kind of enjoys it, at least once Jackson, Billups and Jalen got in his ear (along with some encouragement from the ESPN producers) and let him know they had his back.

This isn't life, it's basketball. **** perspective. This is Paul's day.
**** IT. I may boo him regardless of what happens at this point. My seats are close enough.
The man was here two years and the most he did for the franchise was bringing Kyrie here yet the cult of Thomas acts like he's a Celtics' legend.
Fifty years from now no one will give a **** about Celtics era Isaiah Thomas, but everyone will still remember Ray because he actually did things that mattered.

I've been a Thomas hater for his entire tenure here. I actually liked the dude off court until this nonsense, it was his on court play that made me hate him.

I'd just postpone the entire number retirement till next season, let the dust settle, the one party that is solely responsible for this mess is the Celtics ownership/front Office. What a PR disaster.

Re: Paul Pierce "I'm not sure if I want to see IT's video on my night"
31to6 u know we been riding on our enemies together for many moons na... but on this mang gotta disagree. This ain’t reality this is kkeltic basketball... dat which transcend reality amen. IT is but a cosmic crumb in truths Milky Way He who has gone to the other side and come back to bring glory to our tribe. Da fault is Danny’s. He has a history of being soft w the soft skills (underestimating chemistry issues w trading perk, toine calling him a snake). Dat ice water is also wut also give him that killer edge. Mayb it’s the politically correct times we in where everyone is da bes... wutever the case if truth is unhappy about wut should b a crowning evening then org f ed up. Still time to fix it. Give IT his lil viddy first home game next season. Cs org created this problem they need to fix it. Make Truth happy. IT can wait. If he don’t wanna wait dats ok too... but he don’t get to share the stage w truth. Unbelievable they fumbled this in the first place. Keeping truth happy is priority one.

Just bump IT to next year. He can get his tribute when he comes to town with the rest of the Orlando Magic.

Know what?
Even if they move IT's **** video to some other time now, the cow is out of the barn.
**** Ainge/Wyc have egregiously & irretrievably insulted the Truth.
This cannot be fixed.
**** YOU, Danny.
You **** moron.
How could you possibly think that appeasing IT & moving his **** to 2/11 would be ok with the Truth?
Your head is so far up your ass, you could bite off a polyp in your cecum.

Teams need to stop with all these video tributes for players actively playing in the NBA. They are just stupid. When IT retires, then you give him a tribute. A couple of seasons does not get your jersey number retired. It would be TOTALLY disrespectful for the Celtic organization to make this night about anyone but Paul Pierce. This is a no brainer.

Perspective sure. Next time you have a birthday party for your son/wife etc - find some other celebrity (who is having a birthday) and run a little promo video for them during the party! Tell me how that works out for ya. Haha.
If you are going to honor someone do it right - or don't honor them at all. it's just common courtesy. Yes of course life will go on whether you are rude or kind. But why not be kind? Why not show respect for someone you are trying to show respect too?
It's just so dumb..
I totally liked Steven Grogan back in the day... Sure wouldn't but a video of him up on Tom Brady's retirement day.. Why?! Danny is just being dumb here. Sorry.

Know what we should do?
If that douchebag Ainge allows the IT video, we should generate a relentless Paul Pierce CHANT as the little prick is getting introduced.

Lost a little bit of respect for this organization because of the fact that they let this situation escalate to what it is now.
I will lose **** of respect for both this org and IT, if they share IT's tribute with PAUL PIERCE THE TRUTH'S night. **** that. 2/11 should be ALL ABOUT Paul Pierce. I love IT and what he's done for the Celtics, but what he's done is NOTHING compared to what Paul has done for this organization.
Disrespect and embarrassing. This organization should've known better. Wtf?

If this was a tongue in cheek response and you just forgot the green font then I understand. Otherwise please reread what you’re responding to and explain to me why you’re bringing up Steve Grogan

Nooo. **** IT.. this is Pierce's night. When does a team ever pay tribute to a different player on another players on jersey retirement night? This is so stupid. Pierce is my fav all time player, please dont ruin his night.
