		<description><![CDATA[They&#039;ll test the waters, but Pierce isn&#039;t going anywhere unless someone really blows them away with an offer they actually can&#039;t refuse. Same thing that happened with Rondo, he wasn&#039;t going anywhere unless he could get us CP3. Nothing to see here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s funny how bozo tries to ignore that the NBA existed prior to Shaq and Kobe too. He knows the the Celtics have the most rings, and are the premier franchise in the NBA. He&#039;s even resorted to trolling Red Sox articles now lol, that&#039;s what happens when the team you route for sucks in the worst way imaginable I guess, he&#039;s gotta take out his anger somehow. Did all of you know that he likes to pass himself off as a Yankees fan now too?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly, what a f*ckin idiot.  
He must be getting confused with all his screen names and story lines that he spews about us evil Boston people.

Defender of all thing Mantle, Magic Johnson and Derek Jeter; he is.....
SUPER TOOL!  
Fighting off his imaginary enemies from the Hub, he vanquishes any and all evil Boston fans that would intend ill will upon his beloved boyhood heroes, Dimaggio, Mantle, Abdul Jabbar and yes even Michael Cooper.
No Laker of Yankee name small enough, as long as they don the purple n gold or pinstripes
Bozo the tool shed will type in their honor!

		<description><![CDATA[Danny Ainge is a horrible GM. He&#039;s really bad. Didn&#039;t learn from his last mistake when he traded Perkins in &#039;11. This idiot, Ainge trades his starting center after the all-star break when his team had the best record in the east and second best in the league. No loyality in sports. If Ainge were to trade Pierce, he would get chased out of Boston.

Gay for Pierce? John Hollinger would never sign on to that deal. I wouldn&#039;t sign on to that deal. I think Pierce is an all time great, but he&#039;s 35 and slowing down. Why would u trade prime for past his prime?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[23 points from Pierce tonight over Houston to make it five wins in a row. He can&#039;t dominate every night, but now that the second team has jelled (suprisingly), it would be foolish to trade him, for the reasons Kurt lists and because Pierce has developed into a wily veteran winner who can come through in big games like few others do. Without substantial contributions from the bench this team was going nowhere, but with Bradley back, Green coming around, Sullinger looking very impressive in the paint, and Courtney Lee stepping up his defense, this is no time to trade the captain.]]></description>
