Neither did I. At worst, Pierce moved his pivot foot and could have
been called for a walk. At best, it was a no call. I guess from the
referee's angle, he saw something different than the TV cameras did.

Pierce noticably moved into Rip on that shot, but I didn't think it was
worth the penalty. A no-call if anything would've been sufficient.
