Pacers fan here. There were other weird calls outside the phantom kick ball and screen, but it is more than likely just incompetent refereeing. However, with game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals, Tim Donaghy, and sports betting being legalized almost everywhere has forever put a blemish on the NBA. I am sure every fanbase has felt like they were on the wrong side of a fixed game, whether it was true or not.

[@fastbreakreport]

The free throw difference between the Pacers and Knicks was 15-3 at halftime. So this narrative that the Knicks weren't "Getting any calls" is just bs. Even the TNT announcers were saying how the officiating was bad and it was on both side. Both kick ball calls were awful. Nesmith hit the ball with his hand and it's called a kick ball. Then when Nembhard kicked the ball out of bounds a ref a who couldn't even see the play called the ball for Indiana and he couldn't even see the play............if that don't show you these refs are trying to fix the games a certain way then idk what will. It seems like they're just guessing on these calls and it ruined the game of any enjoyment I had watching it.

[@TheGibsond10]

That did not look like a kicked ball

[@1cbert]

I mean the screen was explained as an illegal pick because it was a blind side pick that the defender stepped in to and could not see, that as they explained constitutes an illegal screen. Had the defender set his screen in visible view of the defender and sets a stationary position then is legal.. this was a blind side hit from behind that at real time looked very hard.. we're watching in super slow Mo. At real speed its worse

[@bp283]

Breaking news. Small market team screwed in favor of large market team. An NBA tale as old as time. Oh well, it is what it is.

[@Jerrythebatman]

The rule states if the player setting the screen moves or makes contact with the defender is illegal and Turners feet clearly moved so how were the Pacers robbed? Im sure when the series goes to Indiana they will have the same calls given to them

Watching this game makes it hard to argue with casual fans who say games are fixed and some of the refs are crooked. I hate that because I love the NBA and the integrity of the game matters. But, some of the calls are just ridiculous.. even after watching the replay. They can't stop Brunson but sure helps when calls unjustly go your way in the clutch. Embarrassing

[@randalljr17]

Some officials have been abysmal this season. The issue is consistency so if they make calls the same way both ways then it’s all good. Wolves vs Nuggets last night had terrible officiating (albeit the better team did win tho). NBA needs to train their officials to set a consistent standard. That’s the key issue
