It's just hard to watch this team, & league. Most corrupt major league on the planet, in conjunction w/ a low i.q. club.

A relief they won, but these games, win or lose, aren't fostering confidence in the team or integrity of the game.

I thought the officiating in the last Pacers/Bucks game was the worst I've seen all season.

Then I watched this game. That was craziness.

4-1 against the Pacers this year with the refs on their side too. Guess we got their number this year.

That was a 20 plus point blowout with ease if not for the refs.

The only adjustment I'd make down the stretch would be playing Sims over Lopez.

Giannis 6-6 from the line
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Every one of those refs needs to be reprimanded and Tyler Ford shouldn’t work a game for the rest of the season. Absolute clown show officiating. Embarrassing.

Big offensive boards at the end.

Prince with 5 steals and a block.

Seems like it's the first time McConnell has had a bad game against us. And it was bad.

Tell Brook they give free neck trims at Sports Clips.

Clown show officiating, no surprise with Tyler Ford leading the crew.

People sit courtside because they have money and/or connections. I don't begrudge that. Good for them, I wish it was me. But show some damn emotion. Get off your phone during play. I'm tired of seeing the corpse of David Gruber sitting stone faced. But now we have Thanasis and Dr. Dave courtside and they are INTO it. So great to see. For those unfamiliar with Dr. Dave, he's a pediatric cancer doctor. His seats for years have been center court a few rows up and he's always trying to fire up the crowd. I hope his move to courtside is permanent.



I've worked with Dr. Dave he is a great dude.

Doc is an idiot but Thanasis literally cost us a challenge during a season he's not even on the roster. On top of that it cost us not being able to keep Giannis in the game.

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

**** Indiana!
Giannis having the opportunity to flatten Nesmith was quite satisfying. :)

The fact this slanted officiating happens to us so much at home makes it even more suspicious. Because on the road it's human nature to get influenced by the crowd. We have the crowd, & there's been double-digit slanted games against us.

Bench absolutely carried us, both offensely and defensively. Were so good defensively with Sims in. KPJ continues to develop. Trent is a shot maker. Green did so many little things, defense, loose balls, passing...

Those 4 did work, while Giannis kept the starters afloat.

We win that by 30 without a screw job that would make Earl Hebner and the WWE proud. I don’t know how anyone takes anything bad away from this game otherwise. Other than maybe Doc not understanding when to pull Brook…

We aren’t all homers here. This officiating for us is a problem. I’m not sure elite teams could consistently overcome this

Bad reffing aside, if Indiana weren't so badly in our heads, we still win this by 20.

We are mentally weak, soft as butter, and Indiana just exposes it.

I feel bad for Dave. That's a losing battle, unfortunately.

Doc just said we've been good this year on challenges. Anybody have the numbers? If not I can get them.

If Doc is listening to Thanos, that's 100% on Doc.

Yes, I think that should be pretty clear. There’s dudes on our staff that review those plays on their tablets.

They quit trying with the big lead and then the refs took over. That **** was infuriating. Glad it was a win but ****.
