    This is just stupid ... New season should be a fresh start . Is there any other sport that carries fouls over to the next year ?

    all sports carry suspensions over, some give double penalties to try and prevent king hits in final games.

    This rule is utterly ****ing stupid. Playoffs are where they are supposed to let them play "rough and more physical". 2015 fouls should stay with 2015 not lead into 2016.

    So let me get this stupid rule straight:

    16 techs and the next is a suspension in regular season. if the 17th tech happens in the regular season's last game it goes into the 2015 playoffs or 2016 regular season? Dumb.

    6 techs and the next is a suspension in the playoffs. If the 7th tech happens to be in the playoffs last game it goes into 2016? Dumb.

    So if a player goes the distance 7 games first round 7 games second round 7 games western conference finals 6 games in the finals then when you add it all up that's 27 games total. If he manages to get the 7th tech in game 6 of the finals he's suspended for the finale? That's ****ing ridiculous and I would go ape **** if we loss by 1 point due to him being out of the game for fouls that happened over the course of 4 series. Also half of Dwight's fouls were not even tech worthy and were retaliations. What the hell happened on his last double tech foul? They didn't even replay that incident.
