The Truth?

It is time to trade Paul Pierce. If the goal is to win a championship, then it is time to clean house. No more ainge, no more Rivers, no more Paul. I hate to say it; Paul Pierce is a great player but after watching LeBron and Co. get waxed by the Spurs, it is time to move on. They had a chance, a one in five chance that could bring them back, make them competitive now, they lost the lottery it was devastating but what now? The Celtics aren’t getting any kind of veteran help that will put them over the top, there is no one out there are available that can make them a championship contender. It isn’t happening. They won’t be able to compete with the Spurs or Suns in a 7 games series, it isn’t going to happen. The terrible thing about a youth movement when you have a superstar is that by the time the kids grow up, the star is old and no longer able to lead them the way that the team needs. Paul Pierce has 2 maybe 3 years left to lead a team at the highest level and that is about it, it is time to move on while he still has value. Trade him for pieces and get a new coach. Orherwise, we don’t have a chance.

Just a couple of quick thoughs.

The Red Sox are not in trouble, the Red Sox are not in trouble. As a Red Sox fan, It is impossible not to assume the worst. That the Yankees are coming and slowly but surely they will come back on the Red Sox until just at the end of the season, they pass us for good. Then I think, that Roger Clemens is 80 years old and they barely have a pitching staff. When I think that, suddenly everything is fine.

Despite my lack of hope for the Celtics, Al Jefferson is a glimmer.

The Cavs have no chance, it is shaping up to be exactly the kind of finals that I was afraid of. Boring as hell.

The Red Sox are cruising, don't let a little west coast trip fool you. Beckett 9-0. Manny hitting again, the power will come. J.D. Drew blows but hey you can't win em all.
