FINALLY we dont have to see Tim Duncan throwing his hands up like a little bitch all the time. :D

In an attempt to get players to curtail post-whistle whining, NBA referee representatives have made the rounds early in training camp to emphasize the league's zero-tolerance policy.

Commissioner David Stern, long fed up with players' histrionics over questionable calls, is threatening to hit them with quick technical fouls -- and later fines -- for those who curse, throw their hands up, or make other gestures that show disgust.

Why don't they fine officials for Blantently BAD CALLS? They're the only professional sports league that does not punish it's officials for that. :mad:

Fuck the NBA

T me up . . . it's total bullshit.

How come the NFL grades their officials and puts the best officials in the Superbowl Game, yet the NBA grades their officials and puts the statistically WORST CREW of the season, as graded by the NBA mind you, in games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals? WTF is that? And this wasn't just last year, they've been doing this for the past 5 years.

Everyone knows about Tim Duncan's antics. It's not just that he does it all the time, it's how he does it. He has it down to a science with a lightning fast reaction time once he realizes a call is going against him. The hands fly up, the whiny face goes on.

Dude he is in the crowds like any other fan, who cares what he does, fans in ALL sports act like a fool like Cuban does get over it. IF he goes on the court and does that sure fine him and throw him out but remember he ALREADY gets fined by Stern for his antics.

Find a new patsy rookie

Except when he's at the benches, or when he feels it necessary to come down to the bench to yell at the official, or when he's crying and sending in videotapes to league officials, or ..... :p
