The New York Knicks stunned the Boston Celtics for a second consecutive game on Wednesday night, overcoming a 20-point lead on the road to win Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal round matchup and take a 2-0 series lead.
Inevitably, Celtics fans alike are in shock, and one of the franchise’s legends, Paul Pierce, has been forced to eat crow.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Speak,” Pierce said that he was “walking to work” barefoot in his “bathrobe” if the Celtics lost Game 2, saying there was “no shot” they lost again and that it was more likely you’d see a “dinosaur” outside the FS1 studio.
Well, the Celtics lost, and Pierce posted a live video of himself walking to work in Los Angeles with his bathrobe on with the sun rising in the background on Thursday morning.

After Game 2, Pierce posted a Google Maps projection of his walk to the FS1 studio, which would hover around an eight-hour walk.
Those vomiting emoji are probably pretty self-explanatory. Don’t forget to stay hydrated, that’s a long walk even for a former NBA star. Or a present-day NBA star. Or anyone.
After Mikal Bridges stole the ball from Jaylen Brown as time expired in Game 1, Bridges and OG Anunoby forced an errant Jayson Tatum pass as time expired in Game 2 to give the Knicks another win. It’s the first time in NBA history that a team has come back to win after trailing by 20 points in back-to-back playoff games — and in the second half of those games, at that.
New York’s dramatic start to the series comes after it was swept by Boston, 4-0, in the regular-season series. The third-seeded Knicks beat the Detroit Pistons in six games in the first round, while the second-seeded Celtics beat the Orlando Magic in five games in the first round.
Pierce, who spent the first 15 seasons of his NBA career with the Celtics, is second in franchise history with 24,021 career points. He was the 2007-08 NBA Finals MVP and earned four All-NBA honors and 10 NBA All-Star honors with the Celtics.
Game 3 of the series is on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET from Madison Square Garden in New York City.

George Pickens not thinking contract situation, wants to be part of ‘winning culture’
George Pickens is glad to be in Dallas and he’s excited to continue building a winning culture. He echoed those two sentiments several times throughout a 12-minute conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon.“I feel great,” he said. “I like the mojo here. I like the swag. I feel like they have a great thing going for sure.”AdvertisementThis was Pickens’ first time speaking publicly since he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday morning. Dallas sent the Pittsburgh Steelers a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick in exchange for the 24-year-old wide receiver and a 2027 sixth-round pick.The Steelers had been looking to trade Pickens, a second-round pick in 2022. There weren’t issues with his ability as a player, but there were character concerns. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in December that Pickens needed to grow up.“Just taking […]
