It it just me or do the refs pick on him? Sure he sometimes gets heated easily, but they do call fouls on him for the stupidest reasons. You see people shouting and arguing and not get T'd up, but then Fortson says one thing and he gets T'd up. Everytime he steps on the floor, he seems to be a target for the refs to pick on. What has he done to them to deserve this? Or is it just me who thinks fortson shouldnt get 1/2 the fouls he gets.
Yeah he's getting picked on, but unfortunately he's done his share of antics and what not in the regular season as well as previous in his career so that he can't cut a break. I don't think anybody should be surprised knowing how the NBA and their refs work. I guarantee you that if it was Forston setting those picks in the backcourt and knocking Bibby on his ass instead of Brad Miller they'd be fouls every time.

By the way fortson doesnt have to say 1 word to get a tech..he can also get elbowed in the throart and acquire one.
Well, he only gets a rough deal because he's garnered a reputation through his own actions, but once he steps onto that court, he should be treated the same as the nine other guys on the same court. Unfortunately that doesn't happen.
Danny wins my quote of the year award for his response to the Kings whining...quoted in the PI by Danny O'Neil... "We're not the ones sitting around crying like a bunch of sissy-boys, girlie-boys," Fortson said. "If we win this series, it's going to be because of team ball and not because we're beating anybody up."
