Celtics star Paul Pierce went flying over the scorer’s table and the Timberwolves’ Michael Beasley reportedly injured his wrist in an exhibition game played in Beijing.

For reasons that are not known to us, Paul Pierce is currently touring China. Here’s what we do know: the Chinese have successfully engineered a chocolate version of him.

No, the Celtics’ Paul Pierce wouldn’t be the first person we’d expect to appear on an HGTV design show. But since he launched an initiative, Truth on Health, to promote healthy lifestyles among young people, we suppose it only makes sense that he’s now appearing on a program allowing him to promote…well, exactly that. Saturday at 10 p.m., Pierce will appear on Home by Novogratz, a show starring a couple with seven kids (Robert and Cortney Plus Seven? [sorry]) that takes on a new design project each week. This task: make a student-athlete lounge out of a storage room at Pierce’s alma mater, Inglewood (Ca.) High. Sadly, Will the team achieve the design the high schoolers would undoubtedly view as the coolest: a button to summon Pierce himself at any time? That remains to be seen.

ESPN announcer Jeff Van Gundy said referee Ed Malloy was “ruining the end to this game” after Malloy ejected Celtics forward Paul Pierce during today’s Game 1 between the Heat and Celtics.

What if the Eastern and Western Conferences had All-Star teams based on Twitter and Facebook followings? Well, this is what it would look like.

Sunday’s 85-82 Celtics victory over the Heat left lots to talk about…but no storyline was bigger than the Celtics earning their third straight win over the Heat. But did the game really prove anything?

Why run all the way to the bench when there is a perfectly good water bottle right in front of you?

There’s a lot to digest in this photo of the Boston Celtics from last night.

When Paul Pierce hit his game-winning jumper in last night’s Knicks-Celtics game, there should have been .6 seconds left on the clock–not the .4 seconds the Knicks were given, argues CBS Sports.

It was a moment to add to Madison Square Garden lore. The Knicks, who looked like their eight-game winning streak would be snapped thanks to a back-breaking shot by the Celtics’ Paul Pierce, had 0.4 seconds left to make a miracle happen. They did…but they took too long to do it.
