The 2008 Celtics Went On TV And Whined About Ray Allen [UPDATED]
The stars of the 2008 Boston Celtics are, somehow, still mad at former teammate Ray Allen for leaving Boston in 2012 and signing with the Miami Heat.

The Warriors And Clippers Still Don't Like Each Other Very Much
What was once an intense rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers has cooled some lately.

Paul Pierce Gets Huge Ovation With Closing Three-Pointer In His Last Game In Boston
Paul Pierce played his last game in Boston today, four years after the Celtics traded him away.

Old And Carefree Paul Pierce Blows Dunk, Receives CPR From Chris Paul
The Clippers started off the season 14-2, partly due to their decrepit bench coming to life, but they’re settling back into normalcy with a three-game skid. In last night’s double-OT game against the Nets, they were thoroughly owned by Sean Kilpatrick, who notched 38 points, 14 rebounds, and snuck r...
Rick James Is On the Bench For The Clippers
Paul Pierce is out tonight with an ankle injury, so he dressed up as Rick James on the bench. Pierce is one of the most zealous NBA Halloween enthusiasts, and his frog costume is probably his best work. Clips owner Steve Ballmer was thrilled to meet a funk celebrity....
Wait, Did The Clippers Pretend To Stab Paul Pierce A Bunch Of Times?

Bond On The Run: A Close Look At Daniel Craig's Form
Spectre is dropping soon at a theatre near you, so it’s time to talk about Bond, James Bond.

An 800-meter professional, Wright has acted in some excellent chase scenes herself, knows w...
Jags Coach: Bernard Pierce May Have Blocked For The Wrong Team Because He Had A Concussion
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bernard Pierce made a bit of news after his team’s game on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wherein he blocked for the other team during a second-quarter kickoff. It was a funny, surprising little brain fart that became even funnier after the game when Pierc...
Bernard Pierce Doesn't Have An Explanation For Why He Blocked For The Other Team
If Bernard Pierce played for the Buccaneers, he would have done a good job on this punt from Saturday’s game, because Bobby Rainey returned the ball for 58 yards. Alas, Pierce is still on the Jaguars, so his play makes no sense....
Paul Pierce Buzzer-Beating Three Overturned On Review; Series Over

The Hawks Ruined Another Great Moment In Paul Pierce Shit-Talking
Paul Pierce’s late three in Game 5, which put his Wizards up 81-80 over the Hawks with less than 10 seconds to play, was wasted by Nene’s inability to box out and prevent Al Horford’s game-winning layup. That’s a shame, because if the Wizards had managed to win, Pierce would have reached a new high ...
Paul Pierce: The Nets Sucked And Deron Williams Didn't Care
