When it comes to the Celtics, few sights are more familiar than Paul Pierce forcing a shot from a seemingly impossible angle with time expiring.

As the Celtics begin their second major trip west against the Sacramento Kings tonight, it seems somewhat pointless to speculate about how many games they will win (maybe one of five; two if they're very lucky). The second time around these parts should prove tougher than the first, with the Suns, Lakers, Jazz, and Rockets also on the ...
