2010 NBA Eastern Conference Finals: Magic (#2) Vs. Celtics (#4)

Bill Simmons via twitter:

FYI: that was Perkins' 7th tech and he's suspended for Game 6. We just potentially saw a ref swing a playoff series. Congrats, NBA.

Anyone have a link for the poor working man?

Techs have been rescinded by the league in the playoffs and this one clearly should be rescinded.

The Celtics should play Soccer in Italy as dramatic and flopping as they are...

Phoenix vs Orlando...come on...who is with me !!

so say the take a technical back.... the league just says "ok Perkins should never have been thrown out of game 5 ?"

??

 

Is it sad that I'm watching the game between commercials of Maxim Hot 100 2010?

 

while one of the techs should be rescinded, maybe perkins should try getting fewer technicals in the playoffs. even if one is rescinded he's up to 6 in 16 games. 7 is not exactly a strict standard.

 

I don't think anything is rigged but that was pure BS, especially if he is suspended. The refs have to do better.

 

Hey look, it's another technical!

 

Dude I know you are a Celtic hater but the guy got a tech from walking away for a ref. That's pure bull****.

 

what do you want them to do, replay game 5 or something? it's over and done with. they can't take it back for this game, they can just correct it so no further damage is done.

 

Yeah you are bound to get a "bull****" Tech sooner or later that's why you don't get so many in the first place.. Why the hell does he have so many?

 

**** you Joey Crawford!

 

Didn't even know it was one. Tell us the top 5!

 

i've already posted about 3 times that i thought the ref let his ego get in the way and there shouldn't have been a technical. it's not like i called the tech. i just get annoyed when people put themselves in the danger zone for something to go wrong and then get mad when it goes wrong. when you need 7 technicals in at most 28 games to be suspended, you should probably be able to come in way under that number.

 

i mean it was his 7th T... why should it be taken back? because its an extreme circumstance? And boston needs him for game 6?


Is a rule a rule, or does it change when its the playoffs? Don't get me wrong, i don't want refs to take away from the game at cost.

But i mean whats the deal?
