Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 I think you're reading too much into it. The refs are not robots. Different refs react differently to players' actions. Which is fine, but you would want, and expect, a little consistency from the league office in their rulings after the fact. Of course, their inconsistency IS what they are consistent with.

Crazyhorse81 251 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 Absolutely, I agree. I'm just not buying the "refs are out to get us" mentality. Aside from a brief mention, I don't think of it as so much a "out to get us" mentality, per se, but more like it would have happened regardless of who the Bulls were playing. That's my biggest beef. That ref, to me, was acting as if he were a member of the Bulls team, and not a supposedly unbiased representative of the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iddelen 7 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbfixFpVJdo The referee looks alarmed by the way Hedo approaches him. Maybe he thought he will finally be punished for the bull**** refereeing. Luckily the second ref was not as aphephobic as the first one. Else Hedo could easily get the second tech while explaining (which would be quite funny). I think technical foul was acceptable but suspension is over the top.

I sometimes wonder if the NBA is corrupt or their tech rules are just plain bogus. enjoy this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz-8CSa9xj8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLvIFRNbqOs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
