Paul George might as well have his accountant wire that $25K right on over to the NBA this morning.
The Pacers forward was very unfiltered as he discussed his opinion of the officiating in the Pacers win over the Sixers Monday night. George and Philadelphia’s Gerald Henderson were both ejected from the game after getting tangled up a couple of times.
First there was this…

Both players received technical fouls. Then there was this…

Henderson was called for a Flagrant 2 and George got T’d up for his response. This sent both players to the locker room.
As one would imagine, George was none to pleased when speaking with the media after the game.
I mean, y’all know how I feel about the officials, and tonight I really have no faith in them. I’ve been warning them all night what he’s going to do, stuff he’s doing, and they allowed this s— to go on. He was throwing jabs, throwing punches at my stomach all night, and I didn’t retaliate until late in the game when they weren’t doing s— about it. So he pulled me down, I get a double tech for doing nothing. And then throw an elbow at my neck, I get another tech for nothing. So I really don’t have no respect, nothing is there for the officiating. S—– officiating job…
It was physical all night. And again, they didn’t do nothing after I warned them a couple of times of what’s going on. They did nothing about it, nothing about it. It’s crazy.
Welp, if it’s going to cost you more than a couple stacks, you may as well get your money’s worth.
