By inputting Patriots into the discussion tells me all I need to know about your basketball knowledge.
"By having a Pirlo signature tells all I need to know your basketball knowledge." You must like soccer, so you probably don't know anything about basketball, right?
Or the other way around? ...
You didn't even posted an argument or something, just went for a personal attack, that's fine. I just expressed my opinion in a way I found easiest and also felt that other people could relate due to the Celtics being a NE based-team and the Patriots being a perennial-championship contender (Isn't that the Celtics' objective, too? All about 18 anyone?). My point was, for as much as you love a player (and I do love Pierce, went to the US last year and specifically bought his jersey because he's my favorite Celtic)you still have to do what's best for your team.
Point being, if this team is a .500 team at the moment, and with Pierce declining a bit, we are kinda strained cap wise, and next year he'll not live up to his contract and Ainge might trade him, so that's why I said, I hope he retires, so he can go as a Celtic. And I wish for you to respect that opinion, thanks.
