NBA Cracks Down
NO, NOT THAT KIND OF CRACK, KANDI MAN
The NBA has a new policy. Zero tolerance for whiners.
Now, we've long known that David Stern is a reader of this humble yet staggeringly awesome blog. If y'all would remember, I wrote about this very thing back in the day.
It's about time Stern did something right. Of course, he banned tights first, but hey, better late than never. At least it shows that Stern is serious about putting a more professional product on the floor. Either that, or he realizes that nobody wants to watch grown men cry hundreds of times every game.
As you can probably imagine, Rasheed Wallace is upset.
This isn't exactly widening the lane, Rasheed. The guy that forced the adoption of laws against bestiality wasn't doing something right, that's for damn damn.
QUICK TAKES
-Stephen Jackson is worried that shooting five "warning shots" into the air amid drunkards at a strip club at 3am is a violation of his probation. If it isn't, I don't know what is. Second, how are people on probation for FLYING INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE PUNCHING STRANGERS AT RANDOM allowed to have handguns? My own paranoia increased by a factor of twelve after reading that.
-Pittsnogle went 0-2 on threes in four minutes last night, and got one rebound. If I remember correctly, we saw in his contract back in July that he would receive a $100,000 bonus for every time he had more rebounds than personal fouls or three point attempts. For Pittsnogle, two three point bricks for every rebound is an incredible ratio. Yes, folks, that was the best we're going to see. It's all downhill from here.

Commissioner David Stern, long fed up with players' histrionics over questionable calls, is threatening to hit them with quick technical fouls -- and later fines -- for those who curse, throw their hands up, or make other gestures that show disgust.

"It's just another 'Sheed Wallace rule," Wallace, shaking his head, told the newspaper. "It just means I must be doing something right. Any time they change the rules of the game for one specific player, you must be doing something right."
