I live in Tampa so I get the Orlando game feed on Bally….the halftime show for Orlando was basically complaining about the refs. Made it seem like the fix was in

I actually have what I think is a fairly reasonable proposal to address techs that has absolutely zero chance of ever happening. Players get a one game suspension for their 16th tech in a season, so do the same for refs on tech reversals - once you hit 16 reversed techs, you get a one game suspension. And another for every two thereafter. If the league thinks it's fair for the players, it should be fair for the refs.

Wouldnt that just create incentive to double down and overturn nothing ?

Not necessarily. I think the league certainly prefers not to see star players miss games. And while it's hardly perfect, there is a willingness to acknowledge referee error with the last two minute reports. And the techs are getting a little out of control and hurting the product.

If it was a cramp, I doubt they’d rule him out. Probably a strain, which is a total pain in the ass injury.

Or they’re just being super careful with him in a game that doesn’t matter much.
He limped off and could barely put any weight on his leg and went straight to the back and got ruled out immediately, but I hope you’re right.

Few Celtic sights as deflating as Jaylen going 0 for 2 at the line.
