<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span id="mn_Global"><span id="mn_Article"> Technically speaking,</p> three T's not that bad</p> Luckily for the Warriors, their game with the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night was not nationally televised. With a technical foul for each of Golden State's three captains - Matt Barnes, Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson - video evidence beamed coast to coast would have only reinforced the notion of the Warriors as a team that can't keep its emotions in check.</p> Through their first 13 games, the Warriors had shown excellent on-court deportment. If not for Barnes' technical for getting locked up with Dallas' Devin Harris on Nov. 8, Golden State would have had a clean slate, technically speaking, after its first 13 games.</p> "I think we've done a good job of staying out of controversy and tending to business," said Warriors Coach Don Nelson, who fined Jackson and Davis for getting thrown out during last season's playoff series with the Dallas Mavericks.</p> Barnes drew the Warriors' first T as part of a double-technical situation in the second quarter with Sacramento's Mikki Moore. Davis earned the next, late in the third quarter, after a borderline foul call against teammate Al Harrington. Jackson had the last, midway through the fourth quarter after getting whistled while defending a Ron Artest drive to the hoop.</p> "Guys were still under control, so it's cool," Harrington said. "Sometimes you've got to take technicals just to let the refs know you're not going to stand for it."</p> Barnes said: "Last<span id="mn_Global"><span id="mn_Article"> year, it might have been seven techs, this year it's only three. And I think Jack just got one because Baron got one and he didn't want to feel left out. We held our tongue. For a game to be how it was tonight and for us to only get three techs is a good sign for us."</div></span></span></p> <span id="mn_Global"><span id="mn_Article">Source: SJ Mercury News</span></span></p> </span></span></p>
I don't blame them for the technicals in that game, it was one of the worst-officiated games I've ever seen. I'm surprised no one got tossed, frankly.

Yesterday's game against the Magic had officiating that was pretty awful as well. At least with the Kings games they had lots of no-calls. I hate it when they stop the game on ticky tacky stuff. The worst calls in the Magic game were like basket interference on Al Harrington and then the tech foul on Dwight Howard for hitting the basket post in the waning seconds of regulation time. Weak.</p> Maybe, I didn't notice the officiating that much in Sactown because we won. Ha ha ha. I'm glad nobody got thrown out because... you'd expect Ron Artest to get thrown out first before anybody on the Warriors.</p>
