Pacers fight with Warriors, but it’s nothing compared to the Palace

The Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors got into it on Tuesday as David Lee and Roy Hibbert had a disagreement that spilled into the stands.
Hibbert will be suspended, and David West probably will be too for what he did at the 0:18 mark of the video below. But at least it wasn’t as bad as that other one.
For perspective, see below:

Malice at the Palace:
As you can see, this one was no big deal compared to that other one, though it’s never good for anything like this to happen when you’re still trying to erase the memories from that other situation and years later, the fans still haven’t fully bought into the new team, despite it being one of the best squads in the NBA. I heard the booing at the end; it’s hard to say whether the fans were booing the Warriors or the Pacers.
As far as fault goes, tat was a heck of a body check by Hibbert at the beginning of the video. Lee, not surprisingly, didn’t like it. I was surprised Roy responded with the shove — it’s out of character. It might have been a season full of frustration coming out. I believe Stephen Curry will make SportsCenter’s Not Top 10 for getting swatted like a housefly twice by Hibbert.
Fortunately, Indiana has Danny Granger back, so there is some talent to step in as these guys serve their likely suspensions.
