Paul George had another fantastic game for the Indiana Pacers as he continues to put himself in the MVP conversation and puts his Pacers team in talks as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
PG-13 dropped 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the Pacers win over the Brooklyn Nets but after the game, George didn’t have PG-13 comments about the referees in the game. He called out the refs saying in the above video, “Hopefully the league does a better job looking at sh*t like this”.
Don’t be surprised, this isn’t the first time George had issues with the ‘stripes’.

Thing is, even back then in Feb 2014 PG was on a tear against officiating & said he would stop complaining. However, still an issue w/ him

And remember, earlier this season he got fined $10,000 by the NBA for criticizing the officiating. Expect another hit to George’s bank account to be coming soon.
UPDATE:
Yahoo! Sports Marc J. Spears reports that the NBA has fined George $35,000 for his comments last night.
