Dre fined $25,000....

For throwing the ball into the stands after the Dallas game. I didn't see this mentioned. If I missed another thread, mods feel free to delete this.

Go Blazers

I wondered what that play was all about and was surprised the commentators didn't catch it...

Apparently Stern is a Brandon Roy fan

I don't think there is any question that he felt the refs screwed us in the last couple of minutes of the game. Dirk went to the line on a questionable reach in by Brandon, (after they called a foul on Wes that put us over the limit) and then when Miller drove the lane and got hammered on the next possession, (no call) he was pissed but knew he could not complain during the game. So he took his frustration out after the game was over.

Good for Dre. He knew he was going to get fined; he's been around long enough to know he had to make a point to get future calls.

I'm gonna start calling him Dr Dre cause he's makin' it rain at NBA HQ!

The weird thing was, at the time it looked like a celebratory thing (like Magic throwing it down court to run out the clock on us), not a frustration/statement thing. I wonder if the refs saw and it and were thrown off by that, too?

I thought he was frustrated that the team lost after such a great come back. Seems to me the NBA can determine what is in the mind of just about anybody. I have quit watching their other games and of course only get to watch national TV games now thanks to the NBA product. Piss poor marketing and product any more.
