    I’m sitting here watching the Timberwolve’s game, and they just gave 5 technical fouls to the Wolves in a matter of ten seconds.  They gave Darko and Brewer one on the exact same play, then gave Rambis a quick two and then threw him out of the game, then on the insuing play gave Love one after he was fouled and the refs didn’t make the call.

    You gotta let guys vent there frustration a little bit.  I think the refs are too quick to throw tech’s out this year and it’s beginning to get a little ridiculous. 

    Any thoughts?

    I completely agree…remember the first one of the year when KG got T’d cuz he put up his hands? I wish they wouldn’t be so quick to blow their whistle and let the players tell their side

    Dwight Howard also gets T’d up like crap. I don’t know why they get him so much

    I was watching the game cast and thought there was some sort of error because I saw four FT’s in a row then Love’s. I didn’t seem right.  Not sure what happened but it seems like the refs wanted to be a part of the game when they probably didn’t have to give out more than one or two.

    just curious, i saw the tech on darko when he complained after a foul when richard jefferson ran right into his chest and the dumb ref called a block. But then i turned before any other techs came. Was that the same moment in the game?

    Yeah, it was actually the play after that.  Brewer and Darko got techs on the same play and then everyone elses followed.

     Geez if players are getting techs just for complaining, then why doesn’t Zaza Pachulia get one on like every single foul he commits????  He complains literally after every single call….LOL

    they called a horrible tech on bynum last night against the knicks. FOrtunately the league rescinded it today becasue even they knew the ref was full of it. First they called a bad foul on bynum. Then he walked aggressively at the ref complaining and got in his face and was t’d up. No problem with that. But then after shnonnon brown got in between them and calmed bynum down, bynum standing there with his arms to his side said very calmy "are you serious" and just like that was thrown out of the game.

    These new tech rules are just horrendous.  They give the NBA players no leway and it doesnt let them be themselves.  Also about 75% of the techs given this years have been bad ones.

    I wish Rasheed Wallace was still playing. I wonder how he would fare with the new Tech rules.

    The technical fouls are getting out of control.

    Dwight Howard, Amare, Kobe all have been hit too many technicals.

    refs make a bad call on the Darko play then follow it up by making another bad call. The players need to be able to vent a little, especially when it’s clearly a bad call.

    Your measure of if the techs are out of control is if they apply to the stars too often?  How about they are out of control because they effect the outcome of games and are unevenly enforced?  Or how about that they have not improved the quality of the game or curbed bitching by players the way they are supposed to?

    I’m surprise Lebron doesn’t get that much tech calls since he complains everything the refs call on him.

    Relax ajk I’m just pointing out some stars that have been hit with numerous Technical fouls.

    Obviously it effects the whole league, the whole respect for the game Tech’s seemed like a good idea but the players need to be able to show some emotion too.  You wave your hand and your hit with a T, Bynum was hit with 2 Tech’s for just saying are you serious to the ref than he didn’t back off the ref so he was thrown out.  Didn’t seem like he was being demonstrative, I see why refs give out Technicals on some plays but now you see 4 or 5 Techs in a game so often it doesn’t even surprise you.
