Re: Wolves playing with fire on suspensions
Yeah, somebody should be responsible for reminding Ant about that before every game and at halftime. "Don't get a tech. We need you out there!"
Same with Rudy. Needs to be careful to avoid swinging down.
Both guys need to channel their emotions a bit better, including the whining, but it does seem to come more from competitiveness than assholery. At least they do seem to care more about competing to win than their own grievances and they don't seem emotionally detached from the game, both of which have been we've seen a bit too much from Wolves-who-shall-not-be-named over the years.

Re: Wolves playing with fire on suspensions
I am sure we won't get the treatment Doncic got when they rescinded his 16th so he wouldn't get suspended. NBA is a joke when it comes to this stuff.
Also the refs have been god awful giving out technical like they "are giving out tic tacs." It absurd some of the technicals these refs call.

I'm unable to find any video of the rescinded technical foul.
So in its absence, I'm subscribing to the "sketchy as fuck" narrative.

The NBA did rescind Doncic's tech, which is why he was able to play against Indiana last night.

Re: Wolves playing with fire on suspensions
I remember when this team would almost never get technicals and flagrants.
This is where Conley becomes huge for this team. Even Finch has to take the bullet sometimes when he sees his guys talking too much to the refs and take that technical that might have otherwise gone to Ant.

I am watching the GS NO game, and the officials (ed malloy) are a bunch of cowards. Draymond should have been ejected with no less than 2 techs and 2 flagrants after running over a guy and then kicking him in the head. They called it a common foul.

Yeah. I know. Was looking for video of the tech to see if it was legit or not
