Different feeling
There’s a different vibe at the Garden this year. The captain has taken notice.
“We had a lot of sellouts last year,” said Paul Pierce. “But the way the building has been, it just seems more electric here now. It seems like people came to the games last year because it was something to do. This year they’re coming because they have something to cheer about.”
Pierce said he was excited to have tonight’s game on TNT, and that he thought the Celtics should have been on at least a couple of nationally televised contests last season. Pierce said he didn’t shift his pregame routine with the start pushed back 30 minutes.

“It’s just more rest before the game,” he said.
