    Still scratching my head on this one...not just the Offensive foul, but a technical for what? Getting up & running in the opposite direction?

    One of New Commissioner Silver's first things that he has to look into changing is the Technical fouls for showing passion...that & the Hack-a-Dwight.

    Your thoughts?

    Really is the worst calls I've seen in a while. If I'm Dwayne Casey, I pull a 94 Pippen and start throwing chairs.

    I said it a few years ago, & I'll say it again...the coaches need a review system similar to what they have in NFL.

    The ability to throw out a red flag in a situation like this, (or even the phantom Fouls that Dirk gets away with) would see the game as a whole benefit.

    The crazy inconsistent tech fouls for showing emotion has to be rectified. Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade, LeBron, Dirk & Kobe can get away with stare downs, intimidation, yelling, screaming and slamming the ball...but a 'lesser' player, after being called for an offensive foul in the dying seconds of a close game, gets up with out saying a word and runs to the opposite end of the court gets T'd up and subsequently DQ'd?

    Ridiculous.

    Imagine Michael Jordan being called for a technical for looking at the bench saying, 'He can't guard me', or glancing into the stands telling a fan, 'Was he big enough?'

    Or Mario Ellie's kiss of death resulting in a technical, Shawn Kemp's after dunk celebrations, or some of the other iconic moments...give the game back it's swagger and let the players express their passion.

    If they go Beserk Noah style, swear at the refs or do something stupid, fine...T them up...but for ticky tacky things like hanging on the rim & nodding at a player after dunking on their head? Please...

    And you wonder why people think the NBA is rigged...not to mention the 51 fts the Kings shot. Either that or the refs are absolutely incompetent. One thing is for sure and that's that NBA refs are absolutely the worst out of any professional sport on this planet.

    Calling a T on player who walks away is the most ridiculous bull**** I've ever seen. Lowry got one just for running back to his court side, Lebron got one for walking away. Refs in the NBA must be some of the worst in the business.

    That was simply atrocious! No way is that an offensive foul. And you know it's really bad when Novak deserved that technical more than Lowry. Just horrible officiating. There needs to be a protocol or a checks and balance system with the referees at the games. Some of their calls are just horrible.

    Waiting for the NBA to release the usual, "That was not a foul on Lowry, official made mistake" blah blah blah because that makes everything better right?

    This is why you sometimes have to pelt a ref with a basketball.

    McLemore even came accross Lowry's wrist after he released too. So what could of possibly been a 2 pt game with 25 seconds left turned into a joke because of the officials.

    lebron got a tech today for the same thing.

    Stupid? sure, but thats the rules.

    As for Lowry getting snubbed, it's probably because of his bad record with coaches, they're a pretty tight knit group.
