    710 technical fouls so far this season.
    Only 33 have been rescinded
    2 of the rescinded technicals were on Westbrook, both in just last two weeks. Both technicals should have resulted in his being suspended.

    The credibility of the NBA just hit a new low.

    Out of curiosity I just watched the whole event when RW got his technical... Not much there, I can see why they rescinded it.

    Apparently he did touch the ref though which supposedly is an automatic T.

    Man it's dumb but if it were us affected we would be jazzed fhat he is playing, or furious if they don't rescind. Lots on the line.

    Not sure where you heard that but he didn't, at least not before he got the tech.

    Yep, I haven't seen the video so just going off what I heard. Do you (or anyone for that matter) have a link?

    I don't see the justification for the tech. In fact, Westbrook actually looked like he was pleading with them, not Shaqtin a Fool. I'm glad they rescinded the tech.

    So what happened on the other tech that was rescinded?

    I don't care whether or not he plays. We should beat the Thunder like a drum without Durant and Ibaka. It's time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and pull our collective head out of our collective ass. So we lost Wes. Injuries are a part of the game. Get the fuck over it.

    Any of those without LMA?

    I think we win but you need to give it up on the hyperbole's. It won't be easy.

    Westbrook won't be able to deal with our secret weapon, Tim Frazier!

    I hope Barrett keeps in his back pocket if and when Frazier flops, "Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!"

    For those too young to remember:

    Since we don't know what he actually said to Ed Malloy, we have no way of knowing if the technical was deserved, or not. Given that Ed Malloy is one of the better, more level headed NBA officials, Westbrook must have said something that crossed a line for Malloy to T him up in the first place. I'd be pissed about this is I was an NBA official, not just Ed Malloy, but any NBA official. I like the use of replay, but this second guessing after the fact on technicals is total bullshit. Just because Westbrook wasn't jumping up and down and screaming doesn't mean the technical wasn't deserved.

    So, if Westbrook gets a technical tonight, and OKC still has a chance to make the playoffs, will that one be rescinded, too? How many do overs does this guy get???? Why even have the 16 technicals = 1 game suspension rule if it only applies if the next game is meaningless?

    Well now we will surely lose. I blame this season on Jinxspeed and his continual jinx after jinx comments all throughout the season.

    As much as I hate Westbrick as a player.. And have my own opinions that both Westbrick and Scola flopped on that play...
    Without knowing what Westbrick said to Maloy.. You can't really say yay or nay on the tech.

    What I can say tho... I'm glad Westbrick is playing tonight... Guy put up 43 shots last night to get 54 points.. in a loss. I certainly hope he trys to do it again cause.... lol 43 shots rly?
    Please freeze out Anthony Morrow I like it when he shoots only 4 times. Last game.. He was the only reason why the Thunder were in the game vs the Blazers.
    Please Westbrick. Freeze him out.
