NEWS: The technical fouls called on Dillon Brooks and Luguentz Dort in Game 2 of Suns-Thunder have been rescinded by the NBA.
Devin Booker's technical foul from Game 2 has also been rescinded by the league.
on officiating in the NBA:
"the same way players have to approach a podium after every game and be accountable for their actions (...) an official should have to sit in front of a podium and answer to why they made a call or didn't make a call."
@CBSSports
In their last 25 playoff games, the Thunder have had a player foul out only 4 times (Dort x3 and Caruso x1)
For reference, the Suns have fouled out 4 times in their last 6 playoff games
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.
