The Celtics played 108 playoff and regular-season games on the way to winning the NBA championship last month. But Paul Pierce has not needed much time to recharge his batteries, the thrill of victory providing the motivation to start preparing for next season.

"It feels good, truthfully," Pierce said of the aftermath of the title run, capped by beating the Los Angeles Lakers in six games. "It was kind of hard on the people out in LA. They were happy, but they were sorry, too. But it is what it is, the Boston Celtics are champions."

Pierce arrived in Boston Monday to participate in a youth camp this week at Basketball City, accompanied by Jason Crowe, a former high school teammate and youth sports education director of Pierce's Truth Fund charity organization. Pierce has spent the offseason with his family in the Los Angeles area, with a stop in Las Vegas, and will return to LA for the ESPY awards presentation next week.
