Rockets at Lakers opening day game thread; Oct 26

[DeadlyDynasty]

time to press the panic button

I have a feeling Stern will give us the push we need

[Roxsfan]

Well, the Rox are half way done ting on the faker's ring-night!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Martin-Brooks with 37 at the half

Still waiting for the real Lakers to show up, I feel uneasy.

OMG Cheryl Miller, shoot me now.

regardless of what happens tonight the Rockets have a great young team

[IronMexican]

Non-issue

Non-issue

Lakers just losing to the teams they should lose to.

So if you get two techs on bull hand gestures after foul calls your are out of the game???? They should only call it for excessive stuff...not just a little emotion

[ElNono]

I complained about it for the entire Summer, but now that I see the rule come into play in an actual game, it's even worse than I thought it would be..they can't be giving out techs for gestures like that, that's way too much, it's a ing compe ive sport..who the plays basketball at a compe ive level and holds back their instant reactions and emotions during the game?..

It's only gonna get worse. Plus there's no way calls like that are not going to affect games. It's gonna get real ugly once you start seeing ejections because of it.

has David Stern ever watched other sports? The NFL? The NHL? Fans don't care if players get animated during games. If anything it makes it more entertaining.

You dummy you

[Kai]

It seems Lee is our backup Kobe-stopper.

I like the no complaining. Most of the time the guys aren't putting the refs in that spot. Now complaining carries more weight. It will be used to make a point. But the refs have to show some restraint as well.

[ElNono]

BTW, at least lakers can chalk it up to relaxing after getting the rings

[DPG21920]

No. Bc Tim is not stupid.

[Nathan89]

The answer is in the fine print


NBA Laker RULE NO. 10- Technicals

If the Lakers are losing call a cheap technical on the opposing team for no reason at all.

[ElNono]

you do realize Timmy might lead the league in techs now, right?

He won't. This rule mostly affects emotional players.

[DeadlyDynasty]

No. Bc Tim is not stupid.

it's not stupidity, it's habit. He's been doing it for 13 years now

[VBM]

He won't. This rule mostly affects emotional players.

Garnett's ed...

[IronMexican]

Rasheed got out at the right time.

[21_Blessings]

No. Bc Tim is not stupid.

But he is the one the whiniest es in the league and maybe the world. his way right out of FIBA as well, which was a pretty sad.
