WOW... what a rigged game. Knicks>Pacers?

Title is self-explanatory. Knicks:34 personal compared to Pacers: 16 personal fouls.

P.S. Last call and Martin was CLEARLY not a foul. Even a blind person could get that right.

Update:

No, ya'll probably Pacers fans or sumsh*t. I watched all 48 minutes of the game and right from the very beginning it was clear that the Pacers were getting the benefit of the call.

    No it wasnt rigged I know David Stern will fire the refs for negating a Knicks Heat conference finals match up. Not rigged but bad officiating

    Don't scapegoat the refs, the Knicks had their opportunities and failed to capitalize. Anthony averages 6 FTs a game for the series and then gets just 4 points in the 4th quarter of an elimination game; unacceptable. J.R. Smith has yet another horrendous shooting night, including 2-9 from downtown and a mere 5 free throws as the spark off the bench and really the team's number two; unacceptable. Raymond Felton, the facilitator for the pick and roll and an outlet during isolation was a non factor, shot 0-7 from the field; unacceptable. No defense and lackadaisical offense in key stretches (the first half when they could have went right for the jugular with Indiana struggling offensively, or absent minded passes during Indiana's stretch run) of an elimination game; unacceptable. All that is a recipe for a loss, even if this game were at the Garden. The Pacers would have buried them early if the Knicks didn't start draining the treys in the 3rd. Blown calls, bad calls, favoritism are a part of the game. That's something they had to consider and overcome. They almost did but they shot themselves in the foot in the last stretch of the game. They played no defense, they made bad passes and plays that led to turnovers and their three main scorers were non existent in the 4th quarter.

    LolzCake- where were you in '93, '94 and '99? Jeez, Game 3, '93, Starks "headbutting" Miller was the beginning of the rivalry for the next decade. Those Riley teams were tough guys led by Oakley and Starks which gave Ewing a bad rep and being unfairly labeled a "dirty player" which he wasn't. The dirtiest player on the court was Miller and his mouth. He was an instigator and provocateur yet they pinned him as David going up against Goliath; the Pacers were these nice little guys from Indiana going up against the mighty Knicks and big, bad Patrick Ewing. It was hysterical that no one outside NY thought it was strange that someone would be so willing to provoke a fan like that. Lee harassed Jordan and Olajuwon and neither of them engaged him like Miller. Yet Miller was painted as the "nice guy" and Spike the arrogant, elitist and foul mouthed New Yorker.

    Yes, the game was clearly tilted towards the Pacers by the refs. It was blatantly obvious. David Stern must think that we are idiots. The NBA has been doing this for years - manipulating games from the free throw line. Gave the Pacers 40+ free throw attempts, while the Knicks shot just 18 times. The Knicks fought valiantly though.

    Check out games from the other series for evidence of this elsewhere, and you'll see a pattern. Ive been researching this myself for several years and came across this website that might be of interest to you.

    Kenyon Martin shouldn't have fouled out on hill call. No Pacers were just the better team

    What will this status do? The NBA isn't going to read this and change who won the game. Pacers were on fire all night and if you read the stats; More offensive rebounds, more rebounds in general and in the end, they were a better overall team. Suck it up and don't be so butthurt about it.

    He was fouled when he tried to drive the ball and get trapped but the ref didn't call that foul, and called Martin instead, but since the knicks are in the penalty, he would shoot free throws either way.

    And comparing foul calls are stupid, the Knicks shoot jumpers, the Pacers camp at posts and do post moves, of coz Pacers will get fouled more.. SMH

    I wanted the Knicks to win but this game was not rigged.

    Who would rig it? Stern? Why would he prefer a small market like Indiana over a storied franchise with a huge market like the Knicks?

    Nope. But I will admit that Kenyon Martin foul was only called because Hill fell. Knicks couldn't get it done, don't be butthurt.

    Please be quiet, and please re-frame from using foul language. Jokes! Funny how Knicks can never beat Pacers in the playoffs. History doesn't lie.
