Paul Pierce, captain of the Boston Celtics and now, avowed and proud Bostontonian.So Blog-eth Mr. Pierce:I guess the obvious question is, “Why am I doing this”Well, in his first installment of his new Boston blog, Paul (it’s cool if we call you Paul, right) sets about answering this very question. Apparently, it’s important that his fans “get to know him better.” Of course, the obvious response to that on the part of the average Boston fan might be, “ok, so what I mean Garnett doesn’t say shit and he hasn’t even been around town that long and honestly, despite all that, most people like him better than you.” I mean, let’s be honest, Garnett and Pierce are like the Bill and Hillary Clinton of New England hoops Kevin Garnett (may we call you KG, sir) can do know wrong. On the other hand, Pierce, despite his loyalty through thick and thin, and his obvious ability to get shit done, has never stirred the fanbase in town quite so hardily. He even goes so far as to talk about what it meant for a kid who grew up down the street from the LA Forum to get drafted by a team he had learned to despise Good stuff.
