You start off with a clean slate in the playoffs. Once you get your 7th T, you get a suspension, and every other one after that gets you another game. This will make it all the more critical to not waste games in the first two rounds this year.
I don't have a problem at all with this rule. Shut up and play basketball, and quit bitching to the refs.
But don't you have a problem with the fact that some people get away with murder and no techs, while others can't even smile at a ref w/o one (Sheed), thus ensuring that one team is more penalized than another just because they have a player the refs simply don't "like"?
Why is it fair that Miami will lose no players to suspension over this rule, while Detroit will, although Pat Riley is so much more obnoxious to the refs than Sheed?
