Pacers/Pistons Penalties
So, there was a bit of malice in The Palace last night. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just... just watch:
It's been a while and I've calmed down. A little. But being a hockey fan, I couldn't resist the urge to have a little fun with this at the same time. Here are the penalties that should have been assessed last night, if they'd been playing hockey instead of basketball:
