Nah, I just thought it was funny that he'd bi1ch about it when they'd just given his guy the same exact call on the other end.

Mike Brown should have adhere'd to the phrase "better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

i seen Brown's quote's on SC before i saw the replay, and when i did my reaction "what an idiot, those are no-brainer calls, i can't believe he's whining about this," No one ever said Mike Brown was a good coach, but man, you expect more from a guy who's been around the game for so long

But, you don't seem to understand. The first foul was in FAVOR of a star (acceptable and expected NBE behavior and result). The second foul went AGAINST a star (completely unacceptable and unexpected NBE behavior and result). Hence, Mike Brown's reaction.

When I read about it before seeing the video I thought ok maybe there was a missed call or something. The two plays are really similar. Maybe it wasn't a foul on James but the call was made. If not then the Pacers would have been furious. Brown should get fined or suspended a game.

at least the ANNOUNCER got it right. "very similar play, same call!"

Newsflash....Danny Granger is an All Star this year!

Kid is playing great and his got his head on straight (unlike a lot of the guys the Pacers have had in recent times).

NewsFlash3...that could be said for just about every player in the league..and can if you are asking me.

While Granger is not LBJ (who is besides Kobe)...he's a helluva nice, up and coming player who is very deserving of the coach's selection for the All Star Game. Not that I give a ratz behind cause I'm more a NCAA fan....Granger just happens to play for my hometown team...

The fouls looked pretty identical to me and fortunatley when I officiate I don't give any superstar status calls...either call them both or don't call either of them.
