It's RIDICULOUS that they only rescind techs when a player is in jeopardy of missing a game. VC's wasn't rescinded but was FAR less than Perkins second tech. What if vince gets 5 more tech in the playoffs that are all VERY obvious techs, if we were to advance. Then he would miss a key game and that BS tech he got in game 2 would stand. They only rescind them when they get close to the max. How retarded is that? Be consistent you ******bags.

The legue made a equal desition the second tech was unfair for Perkins. And the PP was a huge flagrant, no doubt about it.

I guess it's ok to give a guy a BS tech if it's only his first of the game, sorry Vince.

 

What were you thinking Rush for disciplining Perkins when he throws 5 year old temper tantrums? Shame on you.

The NBA got it right on both calls-FOR ONCE!

Now just take away all Dwight's complaining techs and you'll have some basis of consistency.

[Give Me Redick All Day 109]

Dwight getting his soft elbow upgraded, and Perk getting his tech rescinded... hmmm... Nope, there ain't no bias in the NBA.

I'm cool with this. If we wanna beat the Celtics and still have aspirations of winning a championship then Dwight needs to dominate the Celtics lineup no matter what shape its in. Let Perkins play. Let the Celtics think they have their Kryptonie.

 

Then watch as Dwight destroys his ***.
