39 called both techs.



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.

On one of the technicals, I thought it was because of the way Booker gave the ball to the referee and the second was because of something he said. It all seemed to be bang-bang.

I thought another referee might have called him for the comments but I'm not sure. It could have been the same referee. He was certainly close enough.

I just did. 39 calls both

No, just watched it again. 39 called the first one then ref number 64 called the second and the ejection after Booker passed the ball hard to the ref on the left of the first and second pics I took below.

Ref 64 is doing the tossing as you see ref 39 coming back from the scores table announcing the first T he gave Booker. So it wasnt the same ref. 39 with the first T and 64 with the second T and ejection.

I think he made angry comments to 39 while sticking up for Ayton and then when he got T'ed up by him, he bounced the ball in anger to a different ref but it was still 39 that called that T too .

Yeah, I don't know. I thought the way Booker gave the ball to the referee was reason enough. The second seemed excessive.

Looks like the bounce pass to the referee had nothing to do with the Booker ejection which makes it more egregious.

Booker was still jarring with the refs when he passed the ball to the other ref. So it could have been what he said and not what he did with the hard pass.

It was indeed two different referees who called the technicals on Booker.

Calling two technical fouls on Booker was ridiculous.

Booker obviously says stuff that’s below the belt to these refs. He has a reputation already on how he approaches referees.

Especially since he basically was historonic the entire game

Nader goal tends Lebron and I thought he knocked him in the head the way he was holding it on the floor.

I never saw Michael Jordon do this stuff.

Once again, I’m impressed by the team having that really disappointing loss to the Charlotte and following it up with a three game road trip SWEEP.

pretty dope.
