The Pacers were frustrated by several officials' calls in the second half. Replays showed they had a right to complain about a few of them.
O'Neal was called for a foul on a shot by Dirk Nowitzki just inside the 3-point line with 3:59 left in regulation. Replays indicated there was no contact.
Nowitzki hit both free throws, tying the score at 93.
An incensed O'Neal screamed, "I'm not a rookie!" at one of the referees after the call. He was still frustrated in the locker room afterward. "I didn't touch him; didn't even touch him," O'Neal said. "It just kind of looked like (the referees) wanted them to win. I'd just appreciate it if they'd look at it both ways. We play hard, too. That's the most frustrating thing about it. We don't get any calls. Sometimes we get treated like we're not even a basketball team," he said. "It's absolutely ridiculous. We're basketball players, too."
Danny Granger disagreed with a non-call when he put up a shot off an offensive rebound with 6.2 seconds left in overtime, when the Pacers trailed by one point. "I thought I was (fouled), but they didn't," he said. "It is what it is."
Fine, anyone?

seems like JO been doing ALOT of complainging this season. Its obvious dudes not happy right now. But it is true, especially against a team like Dallas. The refs will suck off Dirk ALL game long. He gets mad calls.
