Remember all the initial hoopla over the Celtics' Paul Pierce jersey retirement—that the Truth was originally going to have to share game honors with ex-Celtic Isaiah Thomas, who was set to get a video tribute as a member of the Cavaliers, who were playing in Boston that day? Well, IT ended up backing out, and his trade to Los Angeles last week officially left the spotlight entirely on Pierce. Or it would have, anyway, had LeBron James and his new-look Cavs not dunked all over it by blowing Boston out, 121–99. And because the jersey retirement took place after the game, that meant fans who were there for Pierce—as well as former teammates Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo and former coach Doc Rivers—had to sit through a rather thorough beatdown by the Celtics' biggest conference rival.
