"Where Paul Pierce ranks in Celtics history" (Boston Globe)

[Lucky17]

Well, that just makes me sad that Pierce is gone and playing for another team.

He's a Celtic til next Wednesday! 

It's a shame to see things end like this for Pierce, but on the other hand I wouldn't want to force him to play out his last years on a team with no chance of contending.  It's Russell + Bird, and then Pierce is right in that next group somewhere.  A true Celtic great.

LOL I only just noticed your name change.  Nice.

Thanks, I just had it changed today.  Seemed appropriate.

First of all, how does one change one's name? I feel like it all might be might fault somehow, for not changing to Lucky18.

Secondly, love the Jacob's Ladder reference in the sig.

I like I can still call you FWF, though.

I feel perfectly okay with calling Pierce the 4th or 5th greatest Celtic of all time.

Pierce is among tha greatest Celtics. Looking at those rankings makes it sad because he still could have moved up in some of those rankings. I hate that our Captain is gone. It sucks his last game won't be in a Celtics uniform. For everything he's been through with this team and never once turned his back when he could have left, he earned and deserved to correctly retire and play his last game as a Celtic.

Thank you Paul for everything. You'll always and forever be a Celtic.

but he will retire as a celtic. they will bring him back for one day. they will honor him. they will acknowledge him. they will retire his number.

in terms of greatest celtics ever, i think pierce is in the top 6. which means he is in incredible company.

thanks paul for all you gave us.

Of course he'll still retire a Celtic. And I get why Ainge traded him and KG but I (along with others here) would rather see Pierce continue his career as a Celtic. Not a Net and then sign a one day back here to retire.
