Could just be the freshness of it, but that might be my favorite Pierce shot ever.

I think my favorite Pierce moment was standing there with the trophy after game 6 vs LA
Yup

Yeah, I personally love the one he hit on Harrington.

I absolutely HATED the Paul Pierce trade rumors. This guy is Celtics royalty... if there's one player that the management owes something to it's Paul Pierce for sticking with the team for as long as he has. He needs to retire a Celtic, and that's that. It makes me mad that Ainge would even THINK of trading him. He should be untouchable.

And for that matter, I'm starting to think the same thing about KG. He's an all-time great who helped the Celtics win a chip. He plays his heart out every night for this team. I just think I'd sleep better at night if he retired a Celtic and we could put his number up there in the rafters.

Favorite Celtic of alltime.  Time and time again.  Guy has such grit and heart.

This. He passed Havlicek for me a couple of years ago.

Also, after the game tonight they showed that Pierce has been the best clutch player in this year's playoffs. He has hit more than 60 percent of the shots he has taken in what is classified as clutch time in the 4th quarter. Rondo was 5th on the list. Guess what team had no one in the top 5? I bet you know.

They don't amaze me anymore. They are that clutch.

Yeah, I personally love the one he hit on Harrington.

The harrington one was my favorite, tonight just eclipsed that one for me.

That 3rd quarter that harrington shot came in though is still my favorite quarter of basketball from him; just barely eclipsing the Nets playoff 4th quarter.

Pierce has made some great basketball moments that is for sure.
