Are you kidding me? How are Boston the underdogs, when they were the most hyped about team in the NBA for a long time. Now all of a sudden they're "underdogs"? Gimme a break! This is just a plot by Paul Pierce, to have more fans siding with the Celts, even though its NOT happening! WTF? Are you kidding me?

At the beginning of the year, ESPN, FoxSports, and all other sports media outlets, were all saying that with the addition of KG and Ray Allen to the Celtics with Paul Pierce (i.e. "the big 3"), they were the hands on favorites to win the championship, and they still are. Anytime you put 3 All-Star players on a team, that team is going to be the favorites. Furthermore, the Celtics went 66-16 in the regular season (i.e. the Best record in the league), which means they are the hands on favorite to win, especially when they have home court advantage. Pierce is trying to motivate himself and his teammates by calling the Celtics the underdogs, but he knows the pressure is all on them. Pierce knows that if they don't win a championship this year, the Celtics will have been a failure like the New England Patriots. With the big 3 all over the age of 30, the door to a championship is closing. The Lakers are on the other hand are all relatively young and will be competing for years to come. I think the Lakers are the underdogs.

They got homecourt advantage, so I think he should be confident. Looks like his is shaken a tad bit. The Truth is just pummping himself up cuz he scared and he will not admit it.
