    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK -- Elton Brand was fined $5,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for criticizing the officials after the Los Angeles Clippers lost to Utah.

    "That was definitely a badly officiated game," Brand said after the game. "Some of the calls were terrible. Coach was trying to get us some calls and get us respect out there, and he got tossed. It's very frustrating."</div>

    I hate it when players get fined for criticizing officials. Most of the time the players are right. It's just not fair. Somne refs jsut stink. Hope I won't get fined for that comment.

    What, Brand got fined? Isn't that the first time he has been fined? Talk about being rich though, 5 G's just for voicing your opinion. Regular people with solid jobs don't make that a month. There's such a limit with the NBA with what can't say in the land of the free.

    Wow, Stu Jackson needs to cool off with his fines and stuff, I dont find a reason fining someone who just made a comment like Elton Brand did, he just said it was a bad officiating game, and it was fustrated and basically that was ALL he said. Theres every reason for Elton Brand to be pissed

    Every sports league has been doing this NFL and MLB do it all the time. Who cares if they want to say it was a badly reffed game. they should be able to say whaat they want.
