LMAO on NBA.com TV

[magnifier661]

They were laughing at the dude on courtside getting in the face of Terry for shoving Batum.

"Hey foo you ain't gonna mess with my boy Batum! I'LL KNOCK YOU OUT!"

 

[magnifier661]

Did he really say that? Hahaha

I was hoping it was a foul on Terry instead of a T. Would have been his 4th.

Yeah you gotta watch it man! They were totally playing it out and impressed. They loved it!

Quote "Aye man don't you be going after my man Batum. I'll punch you! You want me to get out of my suite!" Hahahahahaha I just rewound it to hear what he had to say.

 

[magnifier661]

Did they get it on audio or did they read his lips? Not near a TV right now.

Actually the guy said "I'll fuck you up, fuck you!" right in his face when you read his lips. That was what the NBA.com TV improved during the replay of the altercation.

I've always felt a T should also count as one of a player's 6 fouls as it would be a true/real deterrent to acting out.

Yup, I'm in favor of that as well. Flopping should also be T-ed up. I thought I remember the NBA was going to deter the floppers with that rule. Whatever happened with that?

Dallas/Houston paid them off with some help from pryz and rudy.

Actually, I don't think players should have a six-foul allotment, as it's a disincentive to officials to call fouls on superstars, since the league doesn't want superstars sitting on the bench. That leads to the superstar rules and inconsistent refereeing.

I'd remove the six-foul allotment for players, but make being in the penalty more punitive (to discourage fouling at whim, to make every slasher "earn it from the line" and other strategies that slow the game down without displaying any skill) and technical fouls would count towards a team going into the penalty.

I support all of those changes.
