NBA: Where friendly tap on the butt can go wrong

Recently there was a change in the rules of giving technical fouls. It was said to be that referee's will now be more strict when players plead their case regarding fouls and such. The changes are as follows:

  • Players making aggressive gestures, such as air punches, anywhere on the court.
  • Demonstrative disagreement, such as when a player incredulously raises his hands, or smacks his own arm to demonstrate how he was fouled.
  • Running directly at an official to complain about a call.
  • Excessive inquiries about a call, even in a civilized tone.
There are others but thats basically the gist of it. The pre-season game between the Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors basically shows how strict ref's can be now. Reggie Evans and Grant Hill were ejected from the game during the 3rd quarter because of a tap on the ass.



Seriously? Thats what athletes do, it was a friendly athlete tap on the ass, its basically saying "Oh hey it's cool" . Apparently the referee did not take it that way and ejected the 2 players out of the game. This is just really ridiculous and too strict. I mean come on, the guys were just showing sportsmanship, it's not like they were about to go Bruce Lee on each other. The next thing you know, players on the court aren't even allowed to talk to each other or worse, they can't even look each other in the eye.

Come on ref's it's the pre-season let the guys have a little fun, if you're going to throw somebody out of game it should be at least be something as indecent as this and not some normal pat on the butt

Dwight is more of a Michaelangelo than Donatello



Very very informative video. Dwight Howard had a 1 week session with The Dream Hakeem Olajuwon during the offseason.. What do I expect from this? Well a more polished post game from Dwight. More finesse and less usage of strength. 

Anyways enjoy the video!

Video: Once upon a time in London

Lakers Lamar Odom trampled on SuperCoolBeas aka Michael Beasly. Probably the only time he wasn't a beast in the game.





In other news? Darko blocked Derek Fishers Corner 3 LOL!!!

What happens in the locker room, stays in the locker.... maybe

The Boston Celtics, where Shaq, Nate, Big Baby, and KG happens....



Now all we need is Doc Rivers doin the Dougie 

Too much means, excessive... duh



When Stan Van Gundy said "ESPN is like 'All (Miami) Heat, all the time'", he wasn't kidding. ESPN will roll out an in depth editorial coverage called "The Heat Index".

As an Orlando Magic fan, this makes me REALLY bitter. Why doesn't ESPN have this kind of coverage for other teams? Lakers have been in the finals 3 times out of 3 seasons winning 2 of them, Orlando is a force to be reckoned with in the east not to mention the aged Boston Celtics.

Even with all this bitterness, ESPN runs a business and in all fairness the Miami Heat is the hottest piece of news in the NBA at the moment with the 3 of the Top 10 players playing for the same team. People will read it, people will share the story and for ESPN? Well this is what they do and this is what ESPN is for so stop hating.

Look who finally got his own skittles machine

The Candy man Lamar Odom finally gets his own Skittles Vending machine.




The man eats candy for breakfast, plays well if he eats candy, the man has an obsession with candy. If you were to ask me, I'd say every time he goes to the restroom he PROBABLY shits rainbow.
