Game 6: Celtics @ Cavs

Coming off a great win in Game 5 (probably the most exciting Celts playoff game thus far) in which Rondo was phenomenal, Pierce actually drove to the basket like he should, and KG made it rain on the Cavs nonstop, it's up to the C's to close out this series tonight in Cleveland. If they do so it'll be their first win on the road, and one that is sorely needed for their confidence and any hope of continuing on in the playoffs.

And I fully admit coming late to the Celtics party, but I found this awesome nugget about the origin of Paul Pierce's nickname, The Truth:

His nickname, The Truth, was accorded him by Shaquille O'Neal. After a Lakers' victory over the Celtics in 2001, O'Neal pulled a Boston reporter over and gestured toward his notepad. "Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the motherfucking truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

The Truth vs. King James tonight at 8:00.
