Being the trash talker he is, you had to know Paul Pierce was going to take some shots at Atlanta in his post game interview. When asked if he called glass to show the ball would go into the basket after hitting the backboard, Pierce responded with “I called game.” After hitting a shot like that to put your team ahead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, a player is allowed to say whatever they want.
Whats actually surprising is Paul Pierce didn’t respond to every question with his classic line of “that’s why I’m here.” Pierce was even laughing at himself for saying he “called game” and actually tried to walk away from his on-court interview so he could end it with this classic line. With Pierce saying whatever he wants as his career is coming to and end, it is a guarantee that more interesting quotes will come out of his mouth throughout the rest of the playoffs
