Jermaine O'Neal just assessed a technical foul for looking at the ref

[pete's montreux]

Should've been an offensive foul as he was trying to take a charge under the basket, It's called blocking, he sits up and gives the ref a look, and gets a T.

Yep, this NBA season is going to be grand.

I might not even watch if it gets to bullshitty

Imagine if Sheed was still playing he'd lose all his salary on fines.

David Stern is a ****ing ******.

[wakencdukest]

That's lame. You should be able to look at the refs all you want. This season should set the all time record for technical fouls.

REALLY not looking forward to watching the nba this season if this is where its going.

i know many of us watch basketball for the battles and the passion the players show and removing all emotion from the game is horrendously wrong and damaging to the game

i understand sometimes things can get out of hand and technicals are warranted but this is rediculous.

what was wrong with how technicals were handled in the 80's/90's?

[LA_Showtime]

Pure comedy. So many late night shows are going to make fun of this shit. I can only begin to imagine what Charles, Kenny, and EJ will say. They'll probably make up a skit.

BTW, 'Sheed definitely needs to come back. He would get ejected from every single game.

[LA_Showtime]

Anyways, why is Stern trying to turn the NBA into a socialism experiment? Someone needs to take him out.

Just so you guys know it already has happened to Sheed

what else is new? this is just another plot to put the successful black man in his place. seriously, if the league was filled with white players half these half assed and forced rule would be put in place. its like Stern wants to wants to NBA to have no swag.

I need to see the footage as I find this hard to believe.

[StroShow4]

I remember at the beginning of the 05/06 season (I think) they tried this whole strict with the technicals thing. Guys were getting T'd up like crazy for the first week or so, T'd up for damn near nothing. I remember Fransisco Elson getting one for screaming as he dunked the ball. It was completely retarded, everyone knew it, and the league gave up with it pretty damn fast. They need to think back to that sh!t and realize that this will suck.
