Anyone notice the change in rules for technicals? The refs are already handing them out and its only preseason... Kyle Korver got one today just for tapping his elbow after a shot cause he thought he got him, and so did Jermaine O'neal just for looking away after a call (or was it no call?)

I like and dislike the new rules, I don't mind guys having a WTF face or shaking their heads after a foul call, that's a natural reaction you CANNOT get that out of your system, it's like it's built in you not something you can control really. But when you got players running up on the ref complaining and yelling and swearing I think that's bullshit and beyond the line, and it just doesnt look good to little kids watching the game on TV.
I can't stand seeing Kobe drive the ball miss his layup and then just stand there staring and yelling at the referee, while both teams rush downcourt for the next play and he's the only one left back there, leaving his lakers in a 4 vs 5 defensive possession. That's plain selfish
So some aspects of the new rule are good, but I think they're pushing it a bit too far and over reacting.... I think basically the referees have been wanting this for a looong long time and now that they finally got it, they are having the times of their lives.
I'll bet you right now that Joey Crawford will by the end of the season have kicked out the most players of all the refs, lol, anyone remember when he booted Tim Duncan out the game and allegedly challenged him to a FIGHT ??? haha, he got suspended for it too
Garnett got kicked out the other night and what he did was so mild to what he usually does, he ended up just laughing it off and walking out. But damn, I wonder how many times Jordan would have been kicked out if these new rules were in when he played, he used to chew the refs up all day long

I know this is not the intention, but I liken the new techical situation to slave masters trying to curb any emotions from their slaves, how can you order players to just play the game and not show any emotion when a win/loss often hinges on a few, or even one bad call? Not to mention you have a guy as old as 70+ (Dick Bavetta) trying to ref guys in their 20's, in a sport that is arugably the most subjective and the most difficult to call when it comes to contact. The NBA is not addressing the right issue with the refereeing, and I bet part of them just want it this way to get people talking about the NBA constantly and partly to indirectly "affect" games by placing Refs with certain tendencies in key games.
Odom also pointed out the hypocrisy of the league's celebrating emotional play in television commercials and advertisements, while at the same time punishing emotional reactions to the officials by doling out technical fouls.
"It's kind of crazy because that's what people love to see. You watch the commercials and the NBA has dunking, [players making] faces and 'Where Amazing Happens,'" Odom said. "Now it's like 'Where Normal Happens.' ... There's nothing amazing about not showing emotion."
