Pierce situation is one tricky deal

With the Celtics looking far and wide to move the No. 5 pick for someone to bring immediate help to an increasingly beleaguered Paul Pierce -- so far, with no luck -- the question looms: What will No. 34 do if David Stern gets up on the podium tomorrow night and announces that Yi Jianlian, Jeff Green, or Corey Brewer ...

Consider it a bit of advice from one hoops player to another.

The in box was loaded Thursday morning, less than 12 hours after the Celtics' first defeat at home. Where is the backup point guard? Why did Doc Rivers have an ice-cold Paul Pierce take the final shot? Why didn't Pierce wait? What was Tony Allen thinking at the end of the game? Why was he even in the game? Why ...

With goalie Manny Fernandez (knee surgery) lost for the season, and the return date for Patrice Bergeron (Grade 3 concussion) still in question, the Bruins are looking to make a deal or two, perhaps among their forward and defensive corps.

He hits go-ahead shot, then steps on a player&#39;s foot on final play of game. Pierre Pierce wasn&#39;t around to celebrate with his teammates.

If the Boston Red Sox want to keep Jason Varitek, they might have to give him a no-trade clause.

This is only one man&#39;s opinion. I don&#39;t claim to have all the answers, but this one seems simple to me: The Chargers can&#39;t let Drew Brees get away as a free agent at season&#39;s end and get nothing for him in return.

It would have been easy to take the bait. Acknowledge that, yes, September is a traditionally difficult month offensively for catchers. That the season has been wearing him down. That the injuries he rarely admits to have caught up with him, making his bat slow and his stroke impotent. Instead, Jason Varitek claimed health, blamed his eyes, and thanked, once ...

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- At least from a contractual basis, Joel Pineiro and the Red Sox are hedging their bets regarding what role he will perform this season.

As the Feb. 24 trading deadline draws near, the stature and importance of free-agent-to-be Gary Payton to the 2004-05 Celtics becomes more and more critical.

The bar has been set high, almost impossibly so. This Celtics team has won on defense all season long, leading the NBA in all the pertinent categories, and yet last night, Doc Rivers might as well have worn a Paul Westhead mask.

As the Mets continued waiting for a counterproposal from the three-time Cy Young award winner Pedro MartÃ­nez yesterday, it became obvious that they may need more than money to lure him.

Where will Paul Pierce be when/if the Celtics make the fifth selection in tonight's NBA draft? And will he be smiling? If Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers answered the second question, they would probably say yes, though doubts will remain around the league.

Forget those two new guys who gave Boston its Big Three. Paul Pierce can still carry the Celtics just like the past.
