The Boston Fleet needed just one point in their regular-season finale against the Minnesota Frost to clinch a playoff berth for the second straight season. Instead, Boston was a no-show in the must-win game, and now they’re watching the playoffs rather than competing for a Walter Cup championship. There is no denying that the Fleet were in control of their own destiny and failed to rise to the occasion.

Paul Pierce was so convinced the Boston Celtics would bounce back from their Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks to take Game 2 that he made an extremely outlandish remark on FS1’s “Speak” that, well, is coming back to bite him. “If the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I promise you, I’m walking here tomorrow,” Pierce said. “I’m walking here, 15 miles. I’m walking here.”When Pierce got pushback from fellow hosts Joy Taylor and Keyshawn Johnson, he doubled down and added more criteria to his walk.
