With the Boston Celtics being one of the most successful franchises in professional sports, with the team currently tied for the most NBA titles with the arch-rival Los Angeles Lakers with 17, a lot of the legends that have played for the franchise tend to show their support more often than not.
Former Celtics superstar Paul Pierce is one of those players who has stayed loyal to the franchise in his retirement, and that was never more apparent than it was ahead of Game 2 in Boston at TD Garden.
Along with Pierce getting hyped up about Game 2 on Kevin Garnett’s podcast recently while predicting his former team would beat the Dallas Mavericks by 15 on Sunday night, the one-time NBA champion put some time in with the avid fans of the Celtics by hyping up supporters outside of TD Garden via Celtics on NBC Sports Boston.

After making easy work of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in Game 1 in Boston, the Celtics have taken an early 1-0 lead in this seven-game series, but the team has struggled in Game 2 throughout the NBA playoffs this year, losing two of the three games they’ve played in that scenario.
The Mavericks, however, are a perfect 3-0 in Game 2 throughout the first three rounds of the playoffs, meaning they excel in these situations while on the road,
Although the Mavericks have played well away from the American Airlines Center during the postseason, Doncic is dealing with injury issues and has been listed as questionable for this game on Sunday night in Boston, which could impact this game, especially if he sits out.
