Anyone watching the game was exposed to 'The Next Generation' of 'Star' treatment in the NBA.

Yes, there were missed calls, there are missed calls in every game. The Pacers lost because they scored six points in the first eight and a half minutes of the fourth quarter, missed ten free throws, and gave the Rockets wide open threes in winning time. Not because of some ref conspiracy.

Horrible officiating. You would have thought the Rockets were the home team.

"how basketball is meant to be played" yeah you are not the president of basketball, Scott.

OG 7-13 and 3-5 from the arc for 17 to help the Raps beat Utah

Vic's doing fantastic as a closer, no doubt. Also, Jeff Teague is no longer running point. That itself makes the Pacers better.

OK how I prefer it to be played

That boring pick and roll offense resulted in Sabonis guarding Harden way, way too often. Beautifully executed by Houston all night.

I was there too, as did I have a good view as well. Yes the pacers missed 10 free throws, that hurt them more than 3 phantom calls(just so happened to be when Harden had the ball in his hands) that went against the Pacers. James Harden goes in for a fast break layup on a steal, Vic contests the layup and as he jumps he jumps in the air away from Harden who misses a point blank layup and a foul is called after the ball hits the floor. Cannot tell me that was a foul. I will argue all day that the three refs last night kept the game close BUT they did miss 10 free throws to Houston's 1 missed free throw.

I was there, so I think I had a pretty good view.

Shoot a better free throw percentage and the ref's don't matter. 66% isn't going to cut it in the nba

After Saturday nights game clinching shot, the pacers are now 13-2 when games are decided by 3 points or less since acquiring Victor. That is what a closer does. He makes big time shots and his energy and love for the game trickle downs the bench from him all the way down to the ball boys.
