Paul George had just one free throw in 39 minutes against the Bulls.
After the game the Pacers star complaint not for the loss to Chicago but for the fact that Indiana doesn’t get calls.
Per ESPN, George finished the game with 14 points in 39 minutes, but it was the fact that he went to the free throw line just one time that really irritated the All-Star and his coach, Nate McMillan. “I’ve been fined multiple times,” George told reporters. “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. They see it, they know what’s going on. They know what’s a foul. They know what’s not a foul. It comes down from somewhere else how these games are going, I believe.”
“Since I’ve been in this jersey we’ve always fought this battle,” George said. “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. We’re definitely the little brother of the league.”
