If they just put every Celtics game on National TV, he'd be the best player in the world.

Give it to Harrison Barnes in a key possession, great strategy.

Those bron oops killed me

8 games ago, Cheeks and Smith decided that they were going to try to get Smith more looks in the post, and to have him be more aggressive down there. Since then he has averaged 21 a game.

The League needs to rethink their approach at technical fouls. It's getting laughable. 
In most cases you're giving the instigator the advantage because both players are getting punished, even if the other guy did absolutely nothing. You could almost start sending players out there to fight their star player because you know he'll get two techs in no time.
 
Blake got ejected from the game for this shit:

Either cut down on the techs, or start differentiating between normal techs and ones that are worthy of ejections.

 

[Pugz]

i totally agree. especially on a stage like that where you have a ton of viewers and refs go out and mess up calls like that

 

[Mexi]

Blake amd doc are right for talkimg shit about the dubs

Draymond and bogut are stupid
Bogut is always doing this shit and nothing ever happens

I was shocked he wasnt kicked out of that blazer game but wesley was a few weeka back

Was bogut always like this? I know hes a hot head, but

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I just laughed when Griffin got tossed. Typical of the referees in this league.

 

[Mexi]

Still thinking of the bron oops
My fav is when dwyane threw it over his shoulderand nick young tried to take a charge lmao

Lookin like the pathetic dudes on 2k when i abuse oops

yeah, that was ridiculous. 

Bogut's a badass, though. This is how you get in Blake's head. He shrinks, practically disappears, if someone is willing to be really physical with him. Other players always take it to far (i.e., ZBo), but it is what it is. Bogut should have been ejected, too, if either was going to be, but they fucked it up like they always do with techs, these days. its' annoying. 
 
Why was I not surprised to see Joey Crawford in that replay?

 

[buzzy]

We need Techs and Tech 2's. Throw somebody out when they actually deserve it.

 

[BwareDWare94]

No. Getting two techs is unacceptable behavior. They need to reel in how easily certain officials call Ts. It's that simple. Shrink the grey shirt egos and this problem will go away.

I think Stern cracked down too hard after piss fest at the Palace, and this is the result.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Can you imagine what kind of fuck ups there would be with different levels of Technical fouls? They already butcher the Flagrant 1 and 2 shit. 

 

[buzzy]

True, but we've been asking for moderation on these techs for a while now and if three grown men can't decide what warrants a tech, after watching multiple replays, I don't know what will.

Maybe a second choice with less impactful consequences helps them. But yeah, it's obviously not ideal.

 

[buzzy]

And I think with the new replay rule the Flagrant 1 and 2's are being called rather well I think.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Houston's defense really suffers when teams keep the ball moving. After a few passes they fall apart.

 

[BwareDWare94]

I love the Grizzlies, but they're allowed to do so much pushing under the basket. I don't understand the double standard. There's no reason Dwight should have 5 fouls and Zack and Kosta aren't even sniffing foul trouble. Ridiculous.

 

[BwareDWare94]

DMo actually doesn't suck tonight. Imagine that.
