Here's to it having nothing to do with the Celtics. [/optimist]
Good thoughts, but what else could it be related to if Shelden is tweeting it? I don't see how it could be anything else but Pierce-related. And, Ainge did sound like he was having a panic attack when he was on the phone with Felger and Maz.
Ainge sounded like he was walking when he was on the phone. He didn't sound panicked, he sounded short of breath from walking and talking on the phone.
And there are a ton of things it could be other than Pierce. Perhaps Scal took someone else out in practice, or maybe it has nothing to do with the C's.
Yes, Pierce is the most likely, but there are other posibilities.
