After the game, Brown singled out crew chief Curtis Blair and accused the officials of blatant inconsistency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like, honestly, they just got away with a lot, and I\u2019m tired of the inconsistency,\u201d Brown told reporters. \u201cI\u2019ll accept the fine at this point. I thought it was some bulls\u2013t tonight. I think they\u2019re a good defensive team, but they ain\u2019t that damn good. I hope somebody can just pull up the clips, because it\u2019s the same shit every time we play a good team. It\u2019s like they refuse to make a call, then they call touch fouls on the other end. That\u2019s just extremely frustrating, bro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe play hard. We\u2019re outplaying our expectations, we compete hard on the defensive end, and they reward the other team with touch fouls. Just somebody please pull it up.
