Whenever there’s big money involved there will be cheating and fraud. We all know this but enjoy the game anyway. Sucks though, think of all those games just one dirty ref changed.

Yep. One game can change plenty. We know it very well. Imagine if Crean figured out Cuse zone. He'd probably still be our coach. Haha

As much as I like TB, I'll take Domas every single time.  

Absolutely.....but plenty on this board implied he was an extra on the day of the trade. Only a few of us dug in deep and said the Pacers did very, very well the day of that trade. 

Scott-Regarding 5th best record. I agree....we are in great shape but that doesn't mean we should have taken OG over Leaf.

Are you saying they wouldn't be better if they had a quality NBA players in Leaf's place?

Rater have OG but he wouldn't be starting for the Pacers and when they have their full roster they usually just play 9 guys so it is not that big of a miss.

Cousins got a tech tonight that may be worse than the Duncan laughing on the bench tech. Hornets player lost his shoe, it was sitting right in the middle of the play and easily could have resulted in a turned ankle, so he tossed it off bounds and got a tech. 

Wow, moronic. The refs have been abysmal this season.

Blake Griffin's wrestling takedown of Bogey that resulted in a double tech was something.

Also Sabonis was called for a foul when Griffin pulled him down to the court.  I thought Danari was going to off on the refs and he never complains about the officiating.  Also thought it would have been a good time for McMillian to get ejected and just go after the refs.  He did get one tech but should have kept going.

Lol here's the clip.

The rule - any throwing of a shoe apparently a tech. Form over substance. Leave the shoe in the middle of the floor, guy rolls ankle over it, vs. tossing it to the sideline. Meanwhile there are all kinds of fouls/rules ostensibly for player safety. Don't know if there's discretion to the ref in making the call, here, it's the wrong call, for sure.

Okay.  That is horrible.  If it is a rule, it needs to be changed.  Cousin's is absolutely right.  That;s just laying there, waiting for someone to trip overt it and get injured.

Interesting stats on the Pacers. 2nd best team in the league defensively during the month of February. They also lead the league with 5 guys scoring in double digits in 52 of 61 games and 7 in double digits in 12 games in which they are 11-1 in those 12.  just maybe there is something to this team basketball concept after all.
