TeagueForMVP Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 As Horford and teammate Marvin Williams chatted it up today on "Mayhem in the AM," the morning sports show on Atlanta's 790 The Zone, that incident came up in the conversation. Horford said that during the series, he and Pierce were at the free throw line and the Celtics veteran bet Horford, then a rookie, that the Hawks wouldn't win a game. The wager, Horford said, was for $10,000. Horford said he hasn't talked to Pierce since, "But I know he owes me money." He continued: "Marvin was a witness. We were at the free throw line and he was telling me that they were going to sweep us and all this and, you know, we bet and I never got anything." Boston Globe thats kinda funny, looks like al horford should get 10k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Globe thats kinda funny, looks like al horford should get 10k Yes and that Pierce may be the rotten, crybaby, spoiled, immature brat that I suspect him to be. A $10,000 bet between millionaires is like a $100.00 bet for us regular folk. Pay up Peirce! Edited October 21, 2009 by Buzzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankthetank966 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 HAHA if thats true thats hilarious. But at the same time proves that pierce is a punk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillent Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 It's very true!! Pierce said "bet 10 stacks we sweep y'all *ss" and yeah he should pay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted October 21, 2009 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have a different take. Pierce should not pay. IF he does, he's worst than Pete Rose. There's no betting in Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about worse than Pete Rose, but I agree that Pierce should have never made the bet - even if he was giving a rookie a hard time.

coachx Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 There's no betting in Sports. Tell that to Michael Jordan.............that is one of 3 reasons why he retired the first time. He was bigger then the NBA and allowed to do things no one else could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted October 21, 2009 Moderators Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I had the same thought about big trouble for Al and PP if they did pay. That said, I would still give PP crap about it if I was Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachx Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) It looks like that "04" dude on realgm knew exactly what he was talking about back in the 2008 playoffs. I went from loving the DJ, Bird, Parrish, McHale, Ainge Celtics to hating this current group of Celtics punks like (PeePee, Wallace, and KG). I hope we get to the 2nd round this year and can face them again in the playoffs..........the problem is I don't think there is any way the Celtics will have the best record but maybe we could finish 2nd or 3rd and they could finish 2nd or 3rd to set up a 2nd round matchup again with them.

BusBoyIsBack Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 How arrogant of Pierce. Not to mention I believe they took a shot at Joe Johnson and said he shouldn't have made the All-Star game over Ray Allen. Man I still to this day wish we could have won that game 7.

Horford is making it clear - on his Twitter account - that the interview was "overblown" and he never made a bet with Pierce during the 2008 playoffs.

Moderators AHF Posted October 22, 2009 Moderators Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Horford may have not agreed to the bet but Peirce definitely made that statement. Exactly. He is saying it wasn't a real bet, but that it was said in the heat of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
