    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">He's making $10.99 million this season, so the automatic $1,000 fine really isn't an issue. But Andrei Kirilenko plans to appeal the technical foul he received in the third quarter of Tuesday night's loss to San Antonio anyway.
    "It wasn't right," said Kirilenko, who had never before been charged with a technical foul in his four-year NBA career. "Some games I probably [deserve] a technical for talking to the ref. . . . That one was just crap."
    Kirilenko maintains he never said a word to referee Joe Forte, and wasn't complaining about a call. He was simply reacting to having his arm grabbed while he tried to scoop up a rebound.
    He witnesses players acting out just as badly or even worse every game, Kirilenko said, without being whistled. "If you look at Detroit, man, you could give a hundred technicals to them. They [are] just talking the whole single moment they are on the floor."
    So Kirilenko plans to take up the matter with the NBA. He is writing a letter to Stu Jackson, the league's disciplinarian, to plead his case.</div>

    ...Wow, now isn't Kirilenko hardcore, such a good boy, getting no technicals.

    I wonder how much money Dennis Rodman lost because of technicals?
