AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Quite a scene it was, the one Boston Celtics forward James Posey was making as the final seconds ticked off the clock.

"Thanks for coming," Posey yelled to the fans behind the visitors bench, using his loudest, most sing-songy voice.

Paul Pierce and the Celtics knew this was no ordinary win.

"Adios! See ya," Posey said, mocking the Detroit Pistons' fans, pretending to wipe tears from his eyes. "What's the score?"

And to end it all, Posey threw in one more insult, intoning the "Deeeeee-troit basketball!" rally cry that Palace announcer John Mason has made his signature.

Happy with the win, James? Guess so.

It should also be noted that Posey scored 3 points on 1/4 shooting in 12 minutes of play and had 4 fouls.

Easy for him to do that when he isn't on Rasheed.

Personally, I like it. Adds a lot more heat to this little rivalry.

Sheed was owning him in the post. Wish we would have gone to that a little more often while it was available.

i like it too. in fact, i love that shit. talk trash, piss me off. the celtics earned it. i love when guys actually care.

Peeps don't like Sheed doing it. I do, but lots don't.

'Sheed is 'Sheed, that's why.

I love it also.

This is my problem with the NBA: it's so pussified, there are no rivalries anymore.


I agree Posey is a POS though.

I love that he said it, to be honest.

This is like Mike Hart and the little brother comments. Except for the fact Mike Hart actually is talented.

He wouldn't be saying it if the Pistons didn't play like they played against Cleveland in the 4th quarter last night.

I think I'm going to go find and kill a leprechaun.

Fuck Boston!

Posey went 1-4 shooting, and racked up 4 fouls.

I don't think he reserves the right to speak given his contribution.
