Paul George used to be someone who would let it all go, but somehow he has been constantly bothered by the game officiating.
George was at it again, criticizing game officials in the Pacers' 104-97 victory over the Nets, according to ESPN.

Despite winning, it seems that George was pretty much frustrated at the way the game was called and is now making another familiar call to the NBA to review game officials.
"The stripes (were) terrible," George told Fox Sports Indiana. "We (had to) go out and just play. The way this game was going and how they (were) calling it, we had to play. ... It's frustrating, but hopefully the league does a better job of looking at s--t like this."

George reasons that the disparity in fouls called has been going on for quite some time and apparently it has become frustrating for the All-Star forward. Though he did end the night with a double-double (23 points, 10 rebounds) it was his seven turnovers that were glaring.
This isn’t the first time that George has come out in the open to criticize officiating. When the regular season started, George was fined $10,000 for publicly criticizing game officials in the Pacers’ loss to the Raptors.
His latest tirade is not seen as any different, so it will be interesting if he will be fined once more.
Better yet, it will also be interesting if George is simply fined yet again. With the public outburst his second for the season, it the NBA may not tolerate it.
Back in 2010, then-NBA commissioner David Stern threatened to suspend players for continued criticism on referees.
