celticsblog.com 3/21/2008 — Like most Celtics fans I was rather upset when Paul Pierce bricked two free throws with the Celts up one with a shade more than two minutes to play in Dallas last night. I was peeved as a fan beyond all else, as that is what always comes first and foremost with regard to pro basketball. But somehow, I couldn't keep the writer's voice in my head from piping in its two cents as well:
