    I hate the clippers too but I hate the shitty NBA refs even more. It's their fault teams like the clippers exist.

    Maybe if refs called more techs on bitchy teams, there'd be fewer teams like the Clippers.

    Nobody is breaking LA's double double record for at least 15-20 years. That's pretty awesome.

    Maybe if they were competent and got calls correct in the first place techs wouldn't be an issue. It's hard to fix the league but man the NBA has terrible officials.

    No I'm pretty sure the players need to shut up more than the refs do. More techs for whining, fewer make up calls.

    There is nothing to like about the Clippers. Their act is so tired. Shut up and play basketball.

    The first and 2nd techs were complete bullshit. The 3rd was warranted. A player is not allowed to yell "Goddamnit" to a ref. Plain and simple.

    I agree about the Jordan Tech for sure. You can't do that but I'm sure if the 1st two techs aren't called that never happens.

    lol. I can't believe it's become a controversy with CP3. I'm as 'equal rights' and 'equity' as they come, but he didn't say anything that warrented any sexism.

    He may be a douche canoe that rows with oars made of his tears from whining, but he's not that bad.

    It's not about anything sexiest. You publicly call out the refs to the press and you get fined. Simple as that

    The media and white knights nationwide love to promote false outrage.

    Those techs were what I call, flop karma. I think the female ref was staking out her territory when these guys questioned her calls...good for her! Doc Rivers builds a complaining culture wherever he coaches. Chris Paul has gotten away with it for a long time.

    I only wish that this sets a precedent for the refs and how they treat him in the future. The fact he is able to initiate contact for a foul without being called for an offensive foul is absurd!!!

    It is simple as that. But people are making it bigger than that, when there's no need for that. That's what I'm talking about.

    In credit to the refs, I think the games are called better this season than they have been for years. Scott Foster actually gave us some favorable calls last night...I was shocked! For some reason, Dame can't get a call in the paint but it's not just one ref. I always thought if refs were fined for blown calls, they'd really clean up the games.
