Can Paul Cancel That Check Now?

This Paul Pierce “menacing” gesture thing was blown way out of proportion. Danny Ainge said they will appeal and Paul issued this statement before yesterdays game.

I don’t want to take the focus away from the playoffs. In sports, emotions run high and playing 10 years in Boston, I think Celtics fans know I am a passionate player. I 100 percent do not in any way promote gang violence or anything close to it. I am sorry if that was misinterpreted in Saturday’s game. In fact, through my Truth foundation I am committed to giving back to youth groups and making sure young people have the opportunities to succeed in life. I am extremely proud of the work I have done through the foundation to provide positive influences and safe havens for inner city kids.

Then last night during last night' introductions all the players did their usual thing, but not the extremely focused & ticked off Pierce.  He skipped all his moves and just stood there at the end of the line. Then went out and dropped 23 pts, 7 reds & 6 asst all while playing tough D all night long.

Now in today's Herald is this NIFTY LITTLE PHOTO OF MAYOR MENINO from 2005!

The mayor was snapped doing the three-finger salute at the 2005 Boston Hip-Hop festival with the guys from Special Teamz: Slaine, Edo G, Jaysaun, and DJ JayCeeOh. But we don’t think the mayor has gone off and joined the Crips or the Piru Blood either.

According to photographer A. Garcia, who snapped the pic of Menino and his hip-hop posse, the guys were not giving a shout out to the aforementioned Piru Blood. They were throwing the “Boston” sign - a “three up” or “B” thing meant to signify the Hub. Or, sometimes the three stripes on Adidas shoes. Confused yet?

Can David Stern and the NBA just come out and admit their mistake please?
