An anonymous former poster, who no longer has a RealGM account, wanted me to post this:


Who am I?

I have bled Green for 10 long seasons as a Boston Celtic, and, except for 1 season, played through significant injuries to lead mediocre to bad teams to the playoffs for 4 consecutive seasons beginning in 01-02

Ask Dr. Smith if he's found any polyps because his head is still up someone's butt.

Big suprise ending!

Ya, that has to be Robert Smith.

Paul Pierce is a great player and deserves a lot of credit. We should be truely happy we plays for us. But about 90% of R. Smith's posts were about Pierce as if he is the only player on the team.

I guess Robert Smith felt that Pierce didn't get enough credit here. He may have been right. Pierce is having a great season for us, especially on the defensive end.

IMO- If you haven't won us a championship, you aren't a Celtic legend.

Doesn't mean I don't like you, doesn't mean you weren't any good, doesn't mean you didn't play hard...I don't want to hear about your teammates (or lack thereof), your stats, where you rank on this list or that list or what color blood you bleed.

If you want the true respect of Celtic's fans you need to win us a championship. Period. No Excuses.

If you want the kind of legandary respect that Bill, Larry, Cousy and Tommy get you need to get us multiple championships. Period. No Excuses.

Id be happy with just one championship to call Pierce legendary, but agree without a championship your just another player in my mind

duh its brian scalabrine

I feel calling an individual a legend is an individual thing.... basing it on team success alone without taking into account management's incompetence doesn't make any sense at all. We're seeing exactly what he can do when management does the right thing with him. He's going to go down as a Celtic legend in my mind, regardless of this great season the Celtics are having. All the Celtics legends that have won championships were on championship-level teams, not just the all-stars like Bird, but a good number of the other players that he was WITH were great. Who the hell has Pierce played with during his career that's even comparable to what the other legends have won championships with? Walker? Ricky Davis? Blount? Battie? EWill? Give me a break... it's only this year is he even close to being on a team comparable to what the OTHER legends have been able to perform with.

I agree

This year team is better of the Bird's one... And he's not the Bird of this team.

You can decide for yourself and others can decide for themselves if this team is "better" than the ones Bird played on, but I feel we can all agree it's comparable so far.

And I feel you're wrong to say he's not the leader of the team, considering he has and will take the big shots when this team needs someone to step up. It's not to say that others cannot, but this team still looks to Pierce in the clutch moreso than Garnett and Allen.

There will never be another Larry Bird, IMO, so this comparison isn't really necessary... there is no Larry Bird on this team, really.... but Pierce is the man they will be looking to in the clutch when the game is on the line.

Garnett is the best player on the team overall, but Pierce is the man they'll be looking to offensively when the game is tight. Period.

EDIT: I just want to add that the next 10 or so posts about Pierce basically saying something along the lines of "yes he is that good" "no he's not that good" shouldn't take away from what I was really trying to say, which is that it has been poor team management that has resulted in Pierce's lack of team success more than anything Pierce has done. If he's not a Celtic legend in some fans eyes because of a lack of a championship, then they are blaming the wrong person/people.

Jerry Schisting? Hmmm... a tough one. Can we get some more clues?


Oh, just saw the answer. Shouldn't have given it away. We could have made a contest out of it.

I know, that original post was a giveaway from the beginning
