PASS ME THE BUBBLY

BREAK OUT THE SPARKLING CIDER BECAUSE PIERCE SIGNED AN EXTENSION; THREE YEARS AND SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE THE BEST SMALL FORWARD IN THE LEAGUE AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT WHY DON'T YOU GET A COLORADO HOTEL ROOM WITH KOBE YOU LAKER-LOVING WHORE OF THE EARTH; I*HEART*CELTICS STAFF CELEBRATES BY BLOGGING THEIR LITTLE HEARTS OUT; SCALABRINE CELEBRATES BY EATING SIXTY MILLION HOTDOGS



Today the Boston Herald is reporting that the Celtics have reached an agreement with Paul Pierce that will keep him in Boston through the 2007-2008 season. Idiot Celtic fans everywhere calling for a trade will be disappointed to learn that the Celtics are going to be good next season because of this move, giving the "fans" very little to bitch about.

Pierce will be well paid, getting a nice raise that was well deserved after his best statistical season as well as his best performance as team captain. The Celtics' front office assured the team before last season that there chances of the C's making the playoffs were about as good as Brian Scalabrine becoming a Jenny Craig spokeswhale, but Pierce met the season with a great attitude to make sure that the Celtics would be ready for the next year.

Consider this stat line for Pierce:

26.8 ppg, 4.8 apg, and 6.8 rpg- career bests for scoring and field goal percentage and close to career bests in almost every other statistical category. He only missed three games last season with a very painful elbow problem that will be cleaned up next Thursday in very minor surgery. Imagine what Pierce could do pain-free with a supporting cast- he will be worth every penny.

So, everyone who reads this blod, do something to celebrate! Tony Allen, talk to your parole agent first, leave all your weapons at home, but then go and have some fun!
