National pundits appear to think that the NBA will find some reason to rescind the tech and get him back on the court. I hope they don't.
I really hope he plays. The Blazers need to prove something to themselves (and their fans) before going into the playoffs. They need to regain their confidence and they can't do that beating an OKC team without any of their top three guys. I do doubt if the NBA will rescind it though, just because Scott Brooks and Durant have been making too big a fuss about it, they won't want people to think they "caved" to pressure.
Durant should be fined. He called the technical "bullshit" on Twitter. I believe that qualifies as criticizing the refs in the media, which is against the rules. BNM
This is his 2nd tech in a row that has been taken back. He had another tech taken back about 2 weeks ago. I mean is that not fishy or what?
And this gentleman, and ladies if there are any present, is the reason why I never want to be an NBA official. Division 1 is as high as I will go. Westbrook should have received an automatic technical foul for making contact with the official. Mother fucker don't touch me!!
Westbrook deserved that tech.. Ed Malloy is one of the best officials in the league. If he T's you fucking deserved it...
Lol... ridiculous. But OKC is a lot easier/simpler to scout and game plan against when Westbrook plays.
This certainly doesn't make me feel real good about the chances that the refs will be calling fouls evenly tonight.
