The New York Knicks stunned the Boston Celtics for a second consecutive game on Wednesday night, overcoming a 20-point lead on the road to win Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal round matchup and take a 2-0 series lead.

Former Boston Celtics great Paul Pierce learned a valuable lesson Wednesday: If you make an outlandish prediction on live television, you better be ready to follow through. Pierce paid for that decision Thursday, as he walked 20 miles to the FS1 studio after his Celtics prediction backfired in horrific fashion.

Paul Pierce, I have to give you credit. Just an hour before publishing this post, I wrote about how the Hall of Famer's on-air bet on FS1's Speak completely backfired -- he was so certain the Boston Celtics would beat the New York Knicks in Game 2 on Wednesday that he said he'd walk 15 miles from home to work in his robe if they didn't.
