Here is the official announcement from the NBA in regard to The pIston-Pacers Game.
http://aol.nba.com/news/pacers_pistons_041121.html It's funny, because as an official I feel that the security at the Palace sucked and that the officials should have been scared for there on safety. As a former player, I have been in basketball games that turned into riots before and it's every man for himself and god for us all! Seems to me that David Stern is playing traffic cop now and he's just directing the blame else where. It's funny, how it looks like to me that the Detroit Pistons just got a little slap on the wrist. Do you think the last thing that David Stern wanted to do was hurt the Detroit Pistons chances of repeating as the NBA Champions?
