    this is a good thing. sometimes players need to just learn that they can't change the call. what makes me so mad is when they complain about a call that was undenialbe right. this gives the nba the wrong image, the typical person would think the league is full of babies.

    Oh no, this means about 50 more technicals for Rasheed...I think that arguing should be allowed to a point, however if the referees think that cutting down on it is better for the game, I can't hate on them for it.

    oooo, Raja Bell's flopping will really cause some havoc this year. Whoever he's guarding will get a technical foul every game. :shifty2:

    I guess Kobe is going to have to cut back on the "Pompous".

    I guess kobe will have to cut down on complaining about invisible elbows Can they also cut down on flopping and acting? Wade and ginobli would be introuble also.

    You can't really cut down on that unless you add another referee specifically for it. Good floppers get away with things for a reason. Kobe threw plenty of real elbows too. I would say something about superstar calls but I wouldn't want Heat fans mad at me. [​IMG]

    Are they planning on giving more technical fouls? Because I'm not really sure that will stop guys from complaning their asses off.

    Rasheed Wallace may have to adapt to this new rule now.Also, anybody smile/laugh when they read this out of that article?:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A skeptic or two may point out that Bryant is doing nothing more than using his jersey number as a reminder of how many seconds he has before launching a shot.More practical observers believe No. 8 already served that purpose.</div>

    Eh, I doubt it will be much different. NBA refs will probably consider who the person is before making a call still. Superstars will still get away with everything...
