Refs steal a possession from Pacers and gives it to Knicks, denies challenge in the last minute of the game


How the Refs was won.

Read on Twitter

The ball clearly CLEARLY CLEANLY went off Nesmith's hands and Pacers have the ball. HOW was that a kicked ball.



Update: Pacers have filed an official complaint with the NBA for 78 calls and non-calls from games 1 and 2 of the series.

The Indiana Pacers have submitted 78 instances of incorrect or non-calls to the NBA that they felt put them at a disadvantage in Games 1 and 2 against the New York Knicks, a league source told ESPN.

There were so many bad calls going AGAINST Pacers in the last 3 minutes of that game it was ridiculous. I like both teams. But there's no effin reason to GIFT the game to Knicks like that. They sure as heck didn't earn it.

This wasn't the only one. The phantom moving screen call on turner with 17 seconds left again denies another possession to Pacers. I'm fuming as a neutral.

**** happens

Lesgo Knicks

Crazy

The moving screen by Turner was there...it's just never called; guys like Bam have made a career out of that play. So it being called there was crazy, but technically the correct call.

I thought that offensive foul call on Turner at the end of the game was horrible. Borderline call and you dont call that with 13 seconds left in a one point game. That was terrible. Pacers got screwed on that possession to possibly win the game.

Even though I am impressed of the Knicks’ grittiness (Brunson’s been on a tear), but these refs were on some BS tonight.

That’s why if you believe Porter was the only one gambling then I have a bridge to sell you

[KazuoOda]

If you don't call that kick ball, the pacers get a fast break and the Knicks don't get that 3. That's the **** game right there. Holy that was disgusting

Yeah. As a knicks fan I'm still dumbfounded by that call. It was technically correct but that's a call that gets ignored so often, calling it in that moment was insane.

Imagine if the league has been rigging for the Knicks all these years but they’re just so overwhelmingly incompetent that it wasn’t even possible until now

[SlovenianDragon]

Im done watching the NBA until they fix the officiating... Feel like im watching the WWE...

Its not just this game... Its been a problem for awhile and it seems to just keep getting worse and worse...

I half expect a referee to pull a chair out of the stands and smash a player over the head with it...

Knicks got the refs in their pockets man. I wonder what it is. They putting refs up in luxury suites at 5 star hotels and wining and dining and sending them top dollar escorts or something? Something's up man. Happened in Sixers series. Now in this series.

[IG2]

If you were watching the game you could sense that screw job coming a mile away. Makes perfect financial sense to let NY win. And the refs obliged.

[jowglenn]

At least everyone on this board besides Knicks fans is outraged by that atrocious end of the game. Complete travesty

"I like both teams" This is a lie.

[bubonicphoniks]

Wanted Knicks to win but the end of that game was a disgrace.

[knicksNOTslick]

They called out on Brunson when it was clearly off Nembhard's shoes. If the Knicks didn't have a challenge, that would have been a missed call by the refs. But sure, all calls were in favor of the Knicks. Clown posts.

Watch the screen Divincenzo sets at :26 and compare it to the screen Turner got called on shortly thereafter.

Not a screw job btw

If it was obvious or egregious to the point Turner flattened Donte with an elbow or something i could see it but that was awful. You could call a foul on every screen if your gonna call that. Let them play that possession. That was a bad call.
