(AP Photo/Chuck Burton) Browse more photos » The commencement of the 2009-2010 season for these Celtics brought with it a slew of challenging matchups for Rajon Rondo. Roughly a month into the season, Rondo's already battled Derrick Rose, Chris Paul , Derron Williams...
PaulPierce’s dunk on Chris Bosh looks fierce on first viewing … and then the replay shows that Pierce appears to purposely drive his knee to the groin of Bosh. See Bosh’s reaction as he crumbles to the floor. Survey says: dirty.
WALTHAM - Though Celtics coach Doc Rivers says PaulPierce is having an MVP season, it is far too early in the season to make such projections, nor are Pierce’s statistics impressive enough to place him in serious consideration.
PaulPierce is a bona fide baller no doubt. But there’s been plenty of times when he appeared to have the hangtime of an ostrich. Well, ladies and gents, yesterday wasn’t one of those times. It’s one thing to be posterized by a notorious dunker like a LeBron or Kobe, but you’ll never hear the [...]

Particularly in the last few games, PaulPierce has put the team on his back and pulled them to victory. That's not going to surprise anyone, we've seen Paul do this for...
Good thing facials don’t hurt an NBA player’s value on the open market because Chris Bosh would be worthless next summer after PaulPierce dunked on him Friday. The Celtics handled the Raptors 116-103 to make matters worse for the facialized Bosh. Wow.. A dunked on-knee to the nuts combo. Bob Saget just wet his pants.
... now deceased four-game winning streak, I figured Gerald Wallace would be a tough guard for PaulPierce and would give Pierce all he could handle on the defensive end. However, Pierce and co. wiped out any chance of that happening by attacking Wallace early. As a result, Wallace picked up his second foul with 6:29 left in the opening frame. For reasons I'm still not entirely...
by Rob Peterson Filed under: Bulls , Celtics , Raptors , Trail Blazers , NBA Videos Thanks to the long Thanksgiving weekend, maybe you haven't been as engaged in the NBA as you should have been. And maybe you haven't seen Boston's PaulPierce slam on, and into, Toronto's Chris Bosh 's giblets on Friday. But we trust you have been paying attention because you're that kind of fanatic....
... his 3's aren't falling. I'm definitely in the keep Ray Allen camp. This guy is class all the way. PaulPierce had a quiet game for the second game in a row, but with everyone else hitting, he wasn't needed. I think we will see this from Pierce all season. When the other players are hitting, he will sit back and let them go. But when the others are off, Pierce will step...

... Of Winning. They've looked good of late actually, KG seems to be somewhat like his old self, and PaulPierce has been playing great ball. I'm hoping JO and Beasley keep up their good work and Wade, well, I hope Wade snaps out of it. Hope the trend stops. Somehow Dwyane has convinced himself he's a three point shooter. He is attemting more threes a game than: Steve Nash (3.6) Dirk...
... capped off by Kevin Garnett, who, in a play reminiscent of the game-winner over New York, took a PaulPierce pass and sank the 18-foot jumper. The Celtics swung at the Heat early, took an upper cut in retaliation, but held their poise and delivered the knockout punch when they needed it most. And that's the beauty of winning tough games on the road. 11 out of 15 games on the road...
