the ref didn't throw Pierce out, he gave him a tech, it just so happens to be his 2nd which means automatic ejection. Players get double techs for jawing at each other all the time, granted the refs usually are better at knowing the situation when dishing out fouls and techs, but it's not completely outlandish for a guy to get a T in a situation like that. Maybe Paul should have known the situation too and kept his mouth shut.

If anything, this might turn out better for the Celtics. Lets be real, they were down 13 when Pierce got thrown out, it's not like this was a close game, now when they lose the team can pump themselves up with the "we were robbed! They're out to get us!" mentality instead of just wallowing because they got outplayed and outrun by the Heat all game long.

Giving him a second tech on THAT bullshit was equivalent to throwing him out of the game. There wasn't a technical on the play. If that was gonna be his first, sure, be more frivolous with it, but he didn't do anything.

You said he started following the Celtics 4 years ago, and you're calling him sensitive because he called you a lifelong?
I don't remember any Celtics fan on this board before the big 3 came to town. Hell they were chanting MVP for Kobe at home not too long ago..

You like the Lakers and from the Pittsburgh area. How does that work?
You got me there. But I was here during the Kwame era as well! The only thing hurting my ability to follow sports these days is being a new dad and having zero time.
