    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Garnett wasn't suspended, but he must pay an additional $1,000 for getting two technical fouls ($500 each), which results in an automatic ejection. Saunders and Garnett learned of the fine before the start of Tuesday's practice.</div>

    Even though Garnett was right that there should have a been a defensive call, it was un-veteran like to flip out the way he did... I did like the throwing the ball into the stands touch he put on it.

    ... oh and he did pick up a techincal foul vs Sac when he slammed the ball down after a foul.

    Garnett had the right to argue, but there is no excuse for what he did. But what they fined him for is like toilet paper money for him.

    the fine's justifiable...you really don't have to throw the ball to the stands...ive seen and1 players do this after pulling of a nice trick...but in professional basketball? uncalled for...
