I don't care when they do it quite frankly, it's up to them to decide. I'll just enjoy when they do it. I do however want to say how funny I think it is to call PP selfish and not see how selfish and egotistical it is on IT4's part. He doesn't just want his family to be there, that's BS! They could have come last night, it's not like Celts decided to do this a couple days before! In fact, IT4 said he thought he would be back before now so that he would be able to play but it didn't work out that way. He thought he would play that game up until recently so his family should have been prepared to go there already.
No, he's doing it because he wants to stick it to the Celtics, GET REAL! He wants to go out there and have a great game and say "you made the wrong choice!" That's nothing but ego! Instead of being honest about it, him and some here will pretend otherwise! The reaction from the fans would be no different if he's playing or not, we will cheer and move on either way! No, the only thing playing can do is for him to try to prove that he's better and that the trade was a bad one!
Now, I'm not mad about him being egotistical, all the players are, even when they don't show it as openly as others. We need them to be that way because that's what drives them to be great or their best! I just don't like the BS of calling out PP's ego while pretending this isn't about IT's!
