As expected, Paul George was fined yet again for publicly criticizing game officials.
As reported Friday, George came out in the open and blasted game officiating in the Pacers' 104-97 victory over the Nets.

George was upset at the way the game was called, citing the disparities in fouls which he believes has been going on for quite some time now.
For his recent tirade, George drew a larger $35,000 fine per Adi Joseph of Sporting News, his second following a $10,000 fine handed to him earlier in the season when the Pacers lost to the Raptors.

Aside from the comments he made via Fox Sports Indiana, George continued to bark his frustrations as well via the Indianapolis Star.
"It's frustrating when the guys I'm matched up with have less fouls than I do and they're not attacking as much as I'm attacking," George said "It's very frustrating and it's been going on for a long time."
It remains to be seen if George will clam up, though it seems unlikely. But the real question is if Silver would consider adding a suspension in the same way that previous NBA commissioner David Stern threatened to do in 2010 for continued criticism of game officials.
If George still has issues with the way games are called, he may want to keep it within a closed group and avoid voicing out his displeasure out in the open.
