Wade saying book should’ve controlled himself after the first tech

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I agree. I think he said, "Hello, my name is Markieff Morris."

Hilarious. Well done Eric

 

[elindholm]

AMEN EJ!

Yeah, the message is, Ayton sucks, Booker can't keep himself on the floor, and Paul is too old to log heavy minutes. But I'll take it anyway.

 

[Cheesebeef]

2nd best record in the whole NBA right now. Feels really good!

this is mind-boggling and awesome.

 

[TJ]

Ayton must have a lot of friends like you to give him that pat on the back for doing a good job every night.

I’m too short to pat him on the back, much like most people are too sensitive about what athletes say in interviews

 

[Shaggy]

Post game "Same ref called both techs? That's personal"

Precisely. On tilt

It wasn't the same ref that called both Ts on Booker.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Can I talk about the refs and not get fined?

Candace is all of us

 

[Chris_Sanders]

It wasn't the same ref that called both Ts on Booker.

it was. They said it in the post game

 

[Shaggy]

I really like Dwayne Wade as a tv guy. He's really good when talking bball.

 

[elindholm]

Those 11 minutes are going to kill Dudley tomorrow. He is what I envision myself looking as an NBA player. lol

And yet he led the Lakers in plus-minus. No, I can't explain it either.

 

[Shaggy]

it was. They said it in the post game

I saw the one ref call a T on Booker and he was walking toward the score table, then the second T was called by the other ref near Booker. The first ref wasn't near Booker on the second T.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Okay... even I think the dogpile on Ayton’s comments tonight are a little silly.

he’s just a big doofy guy. Some stuff he says really bothers me, but not tonight. W feels too good.

This team is the all good guy squad. Feel like that will serve us well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, I think we’re going to find ourselves needing a m’fer.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Well the entire post game team said it was the same ref...

They even clarified that Booker tossed the ball to a different ref and the original ref called the second tech

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

it was. They said it in the post game

Candace pointed out it wasn’t

 

[Mainstreet]

Here is a replay of the technical fouls.

[Cheesebeef]

Will you two get a room already?

 

[Chaplin]

You guys read way too much into what he says.

He said what he said, were not reading too much into anything.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Here is a replay of the technical fouls.

39 called both techs.

 

[Chaplin]

it was. They said it in the post game

Watch the replay. It wasn’t.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Watch the replay. It wasn’t.

I just did. 39 calls both

 

[sdscard4]

4th best Defensive team in the league
That's the part that is whack.
Suns and Defense
I'm in heaven

 

[Mainstreet]

39 called both techs.

I don't know anymore. Hope we hear more tomorrow.

 

[TJ]

He said what he said, were not reading too much into anything.

Saying he’s complacent based on that statement is a complete hypothetical construct. This schtick is getting old

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Yeah it's all muddled til we see if the techs get rescinded.

I would bet the house the second does

I think he did but I'm not sure. The TNT crew all seem to think it was the same guy. Regardless, Booker needs to work on his relationship with refs but this outburst bothers me less than some of his other reactions. For one thing, he was sticking up for a teammate (Ayton) for that first T which needs to happen if Monty isn't going to fill that role.
