Pierce shouldn't have talked about his phone call with Danny Ainge. For example he said: "Danny tried to sell me on it, but I told him, 'He had a shot, Danny, and he punked you on it.'". How did he expect IT to respond to that? At this point, no one is looking good.
Even though it's "Paul Pierce's night", there's still a game to be played that he won't be playing in.
