The refs changed the direction of the game in a huge way tonight

I’m surprised at the cheating considering betting is legal now and huge amounts of money are won or lost. If you can’t trust the mob to keep gambling clean what can you count on?

It’s like the refs don’t know or care it’s all on tape and regular people can watch the calls over and over and see the refs are full of it

I’m resigned to the fact that we just can’t have nice things

4th quarter, ny gets to 24 free throws and Indiana gets to shoot 2?

So lopsided

It's not tough play, it's rough play with it crossing the line to dirty far too often.
Not sure what the league is thinking in allowing it.
I've seen fouls that would have been called flagrant in the NBA of the late 80s to mid 90s. But
Not sure what the officials think they're accomplishing letting the play get so rough.
The one-sided nature notwithstanding.
