    Has anyone noticed that when kyle lowry gets a call against him, he claps his hands and smiles as a way of taking out his aggression? Does he not realize that tim duncan got ejected from a stadium for doing this? Smiling and clapping is a very serious offense in the Ene Beh Ah.

    Nba becoming rediculous. If a player want to express himself without being to vulgar or excessive , let him do it. NBA allowing more ways for refs to mess up a game

    Stern and Co. are taking human emotion out of the game... it's despicable.

    I don't understand how pleading for a call is disrespectful to the ref. If a call is controversial and the player truly feels that he wants the call to be different, then he should be able to plead his case in a calm manner.

    Lowry got called for a technical for mimicking the travelling call sign. Really? :confused:

    I agree this year it's been out of control. I can agree with cussing or getting in the refs face for a t but just reacting isn't deserving.

    Kyle saying the guy traveled doesn't deserve a T.

    yeah, i think these refs should go back to school and learn how to ref a game.

    the refs tonight are pretty bad..... there are some other bad calls...

    Kyle wasn't saying the guy traveled.

    he was saying he didn't travel the play before. he was arguing the previous call.

    They aren't taking out all of the emotion... they are just taking out the complaining, which I'm all for.

    It gets really annoying to see every player on the floor complain about every single call.

    Stern can turn around and kiss his own behind because he's too much of a power-drunk dictator to kiss mine. I like how the league is trying to limit the complaining but the new rule is way too strict. I bet the players are too scared to sneeze after a foul is called in fear of a technical.

    Lowry got a tech for that, yet later in the game Amare yells at a ref after not getting a foul called but doesn't get a tech.

    All I'm asking for is consistency.
