Paul George rips referees, says the Pacers are the NBA's 'little brother'
  • 7 years ago
Paul George was not happy with the officiating following the Indiana Pacers 90-85 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. "I've been fined multiple times. I've been vocal to the point where the league issues [a statement], 'Hey, we missed a call. Hey, we missed that.' Officials do it during games [saying], 'I missed that call, I missed this call. We're sorry. We're sorry.' It's getting repetitive." "Ever since I've been playing, ever since I've been in this jersey we've fought this battle. Maybe the league has teams they like so they can give them the benefit of the doubt. We're the little brother of the league." George's coach, Nate McMillan, was also furious with the referees, saying that there is no way the Pacers should only shoot 10 free throws the entire game. "[George isn't] getting any calls. I think it's ridiculous that he plays 39 minutes and he shoots one free throw. [The Bulls] shoot 28 free throws, we shoot 10. They got to call the touching and that physical play on both ends."
