2638379, Hell no. It shouldn't have even come to this.

In other words, PP shouldn't have been put in the position to be put on blast for speaking up about this. The fucking Celtics should've nixed IT's bullshit right away. The Cavs were in Boston on January whateverthefuck. Celtics should've told IT "your video's being played tonite." HE is the diva in this situation, requesting that the vid be shown at a later date, so his family could be there. He had what 10 months to plan for his family to be there for the video ? Why'd he have to try and intrude on an already-scheduled Pierce jersey retirement nite ?

PP shouldn't have to share his nite with anyone. He earned that jersey retirement, and is a Celtics legend. IT was here 3 years and despite the high level of respect I have for the way he plays and approached his time here, he didn't win shit and doesn't deserve any say in his post-Celtics-career tributes. He should feel fortunate they're even giving him one in the first place.

The Celtics are to blame. IT is next on the list. PP shouldn't have been put in the position to be publicly embarrassed over something he earned.
