Not IMO.

I think it was just whistle-happy biased refs who hate the Knicks players.


Don't believe that has credence?

For the entire series the Free Throw totals are as follows:

KNICKS 108

PACERS 178


At first I thought it was about aggressiveness. But not SEVENTY MORE FREE THROWS agressive!

while tonight i agree the pacers got a majority of 50/50 calls in their favor, generally knicks players swipe at the ball constantly and the refs were call that even if its a touch foul. knicks players were also called for many more fouls in rebounding situations, where indy had a big advantage.

95% of the time a reason team A shoots many more freethrows than team B is because that team B fouls more! Its so fuckin amateur to assume that free throws need be equal. the fact that pacers shoot more free throws consistently every game only supports the fact that the knicks have a higher foul rate. indy attempted more shots in the paint which translates to more fouls and defensively indy is great at defending the paint without fouling

Tonights game just goes to further show nba is not fixed for ratings nor big markets, or big stars. I am seeing people write "stern wanted pacers to win".... Lmao why? all the buffoon conspiracy theorists find a way to write a story regardless of who wins.

  In their defense, all the Knicks do is shoot jumpshots while the Pacers actually have bigs that can score..I'm sure that had a bit to do with the free throw disparity..

To the two posts above this:

Not SEVENTY more free throws for 'swiping' or being in the paint.

This was an officiating disaster. Not a stern conspiracy. 

Just officials saying, "if the Knicks want to whine at every one of our calls, we'll make more calls against them."

The knicks only shoot jumpers......Indiana goes inside..all of the knicks players players are a holes with attitude problems.
The guy at the top complaining about the heat bulls......the bulls only stayed in the series b/c at times the ref let them beat the cap out of the heat......literally at times.
