INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Pacers have come up with a counter to Toronto's "We the North" campaign.

The Raptors are unimpressed.

The Pacers' T-shirts for Game 6 in Indianapolis read "UNITED STATE OF BASKETBALL," over the hashtag "We The Gold."

"Who 'the gold?"' DeMar DeRozan said with a head shake Friday morning. "I don't care, I'm not going to wear it."

Patrick Patterson was far more vocal about the Pacers' tactics after practice Thursday, saying "Just because we do 'We The North,' they just trying to find some thing to get at us," Patterson said. "I have different feelings toward that. . . Flattering? No, not at all."

Patterson praised Raptors fans, saying "The Canadian fans, they sing the national anthem with pride. They've done it for a long time and they do it every single opportunity they get, whether it's regular season, whether it's pre-season, whether it's playoffs, whether the singer allows them to sing it and holds the mic up in the air, they're constantly singing it.
