VIDEO: Paul Pierce Ejected For Setting Really Mean Pick On Dwyane Wade

Ah, the NBA Playoffs: where the refs fire their whistles to the moon and let players play, until Paul Pierce goes and sets a pick on Dwyane Wade. After picking up a technical for -- ahem, and I quote -- "headbutting" James Jones (it was an aggressive nudge), Pierce was apparently on somebody's very short list, earning an automatic technical for something that happens in this video via @blazersedge:

Word on the street is that the Boston Celtics star was tossed for something he said to Wade, leading some to wonder what mystical series of words Pierce could've possibly uttered to cause such a reaction. Kinda feel like trying to look up a bunch of magic sayings from obscure religions, but we've all seen Pi here, so let's just assume Pierce whispered the secret math to his Miami Heat counterpart.

Miami was probably going to win anyway, but now Boston has something to complain about, so everybody’s happy no matter what happens in the last few minutes.
