Atlanta Hawks Taurean Prince returned to action against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday after missing the two previous games for the birth of his son. But his time in the game didn't last long.
"Honestly, I got no comment on it. There's certain things you can't say, and you shouldn't say."
"What was said was inappropriate, and it's unfortunate, but it is a teaching lesson."
Pierce said that guys have to learn to play through adversity, even when calls don't always go their way.
"There's times when you're intense and you're competitive; there's times that you've got to play through it. But there's also a respect factor that we all have to play to."
"We want the officials to respect us. We have to show respect as well, and sometimes it's the words. It's not really how much or how aggressive you say it, it's just what you say that can get you in trouble."
