If Pierce doesn't move into Hamilton he passes by cleanly, yes, but did this bump but Hamilton at a disadvantage? I say no.

With all due respect, I have never seen two games where every contact was considered a foul or not a foul across the board at any level. This should not be about the NBA no more than if I showed video of two high school plays and come to a conclusion that is what is expected or not expected at the high school level.
Both the Pierce call and the Fisher call are not the same things or the same kind of contact.
