I cannot believe Paul Pierce just did that.

Still 12 seconds left in the game... Indiana DESERVES to win after that bonehead move. That's going to go down as one of the biggest playoff fuckups in league history.

I feel bad for the Perkins.
He looked like he was gonna cry.

Yeah =/. Although... I don't understand why Doc would put a guy with a season average of 64% at the line when it's that critical of a shot...

What did Pierce do?

Mid-court, obvious as hell... whole crowd watching, 3 refs within spitting distance... shoved a guy down on the ground, thereby getting his 2nd technical. Put Reggie at the line which he obviously sank... tying the game. Indiana with 12 seconds fails to score so it goes into overtime.
tooooootally fucked up.

When a player is fouled and gets ejected, the opposing team gets to choose who shoots his FTs

Of course Pierce shoved him that hard too

I agree with lost here, Pierce barely even shoved(if you actually want to call it that) the man. I could care less who wins honestly, but yes it was a dumb move by Paul, but not a technical.

Depends on the angle you saw it.
When I saw it AS it happened...it looked brutal.
Replay angles showed it wasn't anything as bad as they made it seem.

Yeah I watched it in slow motion on sports center. it was more of an elongated nudge or a very light shove I guess... But once I heard it was a technical on sportscenter the words that came to my mind were
".... and the award goes to _____"

You can push someone after the play wether it was "hard" or not.
The refs had no choice but to call it. You want to blame someone? Blame Pierce, not the refs.
