PAUL PIERCE has been left completely embarrassed by his prediction on the New York Knicks.
The Boston Celtics legend was overly confident that his former side would beat the Knicks in Game 2 of the Conference semi-finals.
The two teams faced off at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Pierce, 47, was insistent during an appearance on Fox Sports 1 that his former side would win.
The member of the 2008 Celtics title-winning team even promised that he would walk to the studio if he was wrong.
He said: “If the Celtics lose [Game 2], I promise you, I’m walking here tomorrow.
“In my robe, no shoes on, bare feet.
“Put the house on this game.
“You got a better chance at walking out of this studio and seeing a dinosaur [than a Celtics loss].”
The match was a thriller with only one point deciding the winner.
But unfortunately for Pierce, that point was for the Knicks as they won 91-90.
Josh Hart impressed in the match as he racked up 23 points during his 43 minutes of action.
