Sooo I guess Cousins and Jokic complain differently.

Eric Gordon makes an overt jester any time he misses a layup, call or non call, foul or no foul.

 

It was evident in the bubble that mouthing off would get you T'd up.

Of course sometimes the ref wouldn't see other players doing it by accident.

I think players who weren't in the bubble did not know.

 

Gordon should be T'd tons of times.

He gets away with it. Certain language.

 

I don’t see the foul on Jokic.

 

NBA Referees and the Police have same thing in common racism, Police arrest Black Man, White Man gets Released easily, even a murder, Referees give Technical, or Flagrants.

Even Sterling Brown was arrested and tazed for having 2 parking spots.

Sterling is a nicer person than most NBA Players.

 

Player relationships matter. Cousins is a dick. He will lose every coin toss and he deserves it, frankly.

 

Boogie has a history of berating refs, so him getting t'ed up quick should be no shocker to anyone. Goble was petty and an ******* for ejecting him. But it should come with no surprise at all that SUPERSTARS aren't treated the same as NON superstars. Never has, never will.

 

It doesn't help that he complains about calls against him that were obviously correct. Years worth of that type of stuff has earned him negatively credibility with the refs.

 

Reputation shouldn't be a reason, only the action that is considered the offense. If reputation holds water, then Foster and Mauer shouldn't ref our games. See how that works.

A tennis player can have meltdowns, tantrums and destroy sports equipment. They have to do lot to get fined. And if fined for destroying a racket, the fine is no where near what nba players get. 5-10k fine in tennis is considered a lot. NBA throws out 50k fines likes it's nothing.

One is hooping, the other is considered a gentleman's sport.

 

I don’t think he should’ve been ejected but he’s got to know his leash with the refs is super short.

If I were him I literally wouldn’t even say hello to a ref. Let coach and Harden be my lawyers and dare them to tech me for playing their game.

 

Draymond has a pass as well. Especially during playoff time. Dude could probably get away with pushing a ref down

 

If you didn't know, refs have been biased against Boogie since he was on the Kings. He has a bad rep among refs in the league but to be fair, it's been earned, he was and maybe still is a hothead.

 

Refs know about the Gordon rule:

Don’t mess with me and I won’t take your women!
.......
.......
.......

 

put him in a Rockets jersey and he would'nt get away with it

 

I mean this is real life right? Thats why people spend so much time and effort pretending they are really rich and happy all the time in SocMed. Our reputation always precedes us.

Cousins already had a rep of being a complainer, hot headed and aggressive if starts charging at a ref then hed get tossed out. Jokic has been tossed out a few times already so I doubt the ref the was cheating or unjustly favoring him in this case.

 

Not sure this belongs here, but visa restriction is mainly for security and economic reasons.

If you are a famous multimillionaire US would want you to live there as you prob wont be starting terrorist attacks and you'd spend your millions on US soil. Not sure why you are surprised the rich and powerful operate on diff rules from normal people.

 

Cousins gets techs for the way he growls at refs, but his look isn't much different than EGO, he is just far more intimidating than EGO. Refs need to get over it. When was the last time a ref was assaulted by a player? Like 1970? Grow a pair. Man up. These players are intense and they're competing for their livelihood, but that doesn't mean they're going to hurt you over a call. Just hear them out, say okay, and move the fk on!

 

Donkey used to full on high kick people in the face and get away with it.

 

Draymond Green complains like that about 10-20 times a game.
