Giannis getting ejected is the softest ejection I've seen since Tim Duncan got ejected for laughing on the bench. (alien.top)

It's almost as if the Zebras just wanna ruin the fun. Imagine if this was the first time a kid was able to see Giannis in person? All that time, money, and effort to see your favorite player just for them to get the boot.

To eject Giannis over that, but a few days ago Draymond Green is allowed to run and yell at refs for 45 seconds and gets no tech for it is just a gross display of abusive power.

So, the bigger point here is that the NBA just needs to adjust their rules as to what a technical foul is. Because, per the NBA's rules, that was pretty clearly a tech on Giannis. It would have been a tech and no one (because they were playing the Pistons) would fucking know if it was just his first one.

It goes back the my thing about the bullshit for DECADES about "letting players play" in the fourth quarter or especially in the playoffs.

Just want consistency. If it's a foul in the fifth game of the season, it should be a foul in Game 5 of the Finals. If the foul call wasn't needed in the fifth game of the season, just don't call it.

Or adjust penalties for additional tech fouls. First tech? Two shots for one point. Second tech? Three shots for two points. Etc., etc.
