> Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has been disgusted by the officiating so far this series. Said the team will file a complaint to the league office ahead of Game 3.
“Small market teams deserve a fair shot regardless of where they’re playing.”
Yikes, that’s going to be a hefty fine.

Edit: there’s more
Rick Carlisle says that there were 29 plays the Pacers thought were called the wrong way on Game 1 but they didn’t submit to the league. He’s now listing some examples from tonight where he thought the calls were wrong.

“We’re gonna submit these calls tonight. New York, get ready, you’re going to see them,” Carlisle says. “We deserve a fair shot… there’s not a consistent balance, that’s disappointing.”

refs told him to keep mcconnell on the bench
The NBA should reply to his complaint asking why he didn’t play McConnell in the 4th more
GRIEVEIENCE FILED
He knew what he was doing when he got himself ejected. Just playing the officials so they get a good reffing for the home games
i would be disgusted by being bodied by a team with 4.5 healthy players left in a playoff game personally
…. What calls lost the game for the Pacers today? Lmao is this dude forreal?
Rick you sat two guys who were killing us all night in crunch time come on brother.
Stacking up grievances like we’re stacking up 40 balls from Brunson
REFS KEPT TJ ON THE BENCH, RIGGED FOR RATINGS
How could the refs give the Knicks so many more rebounds. Unfair.
I
DECLARE
Guy knew he was in New York and decided to put up a Broadway level diva fit.
Knicks 2-0, Grievance filed. Think I’ve seen this one before
Knicks didn’t have og, jalen, Julius, and bojan today all at some point. At some point you gotta look at yourself
Refs are the reason why they can’t play any defense
“It’s all over Twitter right now.” – how Carlisle is validating his grievances
Okay, there were some bullshit calls last game but what was wrong today? That’s Playoffs buddy, kill or get killed, nobody is gonna call ticky tack shit and Knicks just have tougher guys on the court. Myles was always soft and pushed around by the bigs, Tyrese is soft, Siakam is soft-ish. Nobody to blame for today but your own players Rick, front runned a bit when Brunson was injured and back to reality when he came back in the second half.
There are 9 healthy legs on the totality of the knicks roster. It’s not their fault y’all can’t stop anything.
Chuck is cooking him right now
First Nurse, now Carlisle. Knicks being good has everyone seething.
Oh barf. Pacers lost this one fair and square. If there was ever a time to do this it was after Game 1. This makes the Pacers look like a bunch of chumps.
He failed to acknowledge that his players also just didn’t make an effort to win in the second half
We all know what he is trying to do, but that may have been the most pitiful rant about the refs I’ve ever seen.
Might as well have just gone out there and said, “can we get some more foul calls, pretty please?”
Rick, you lost to a team that didn’t have Jalen for half the game and didn’t have OG for the last quarter. They were basically playing 5.5 guys all night.
If there was a fix, it was you not playing TJ.
this game was officiated fine, Pacers even shot more FTs until the intentional fouls
Knicks are missing Randle/Mrob/OG/Bojan, and Brunson was injured and missed the 2nd quarter
Rick is gonna blame the refs for this one? Like what kind of soft ass shit is that
It’s true. A small market team could NEVER win it all in today’s NBA. Wait a second
I’m disgusted with how many injured players the pacers are playing against in the east
Rick better be glad giannis and dame were hurt cause he wouldn’t even be here to complain if they weren’t.
