Pacers are punks

I watched them lose to Miami and was quickly reminded why I don't like this team. They play dirty and they look for fights.

In the fourth quarter, Alonzo Mourning had the nerve to fouled Anthony Johnson, so he threw a punch at Mourning. Lucky for Johnson, his punching aim is as good as his shooting aim so he missed.

Then, Udonis Haslem had the nerve to box out Jermaine O'Neal, so O'Neal decides to grab Haslem's head and throw him to the ground.

Notice how often NBA fights usually involve the Pacers. That's not an accident when you have people like Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O'Neal, and Dale Davis getting in their cheap shots whenever possible and being ready to fight at moment's notice.

Only in the world of sports do we consider running into a crowd and throwing punches at random people, "defending yourself."

Patsy2k, you'll never agree with me about Nov 19th, but you'll agree with me about the Pacers style of play and tendency to look for fights by Game 2 when Pierce takes his 30th cheap shot from a Pacer and Dale Davis starts a fight with Kendrick Perkins.
