Re: Sportsguy Says Pierce out for Season!

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Can it get any worse for the Celts? Seems like since the Bird era, we've

life's in the first place. I swear they all need baby sitters. Just another
example of getting nothing out of college and maturing. Time to re-think
season finishes. Start at the bottom.
