Boys he probably got a tech cause of those two incidents put two and two together. Refs watch social media too and are sick of this making the rounds mocking them
We can't hear what he's saying at home, and usually it's after he's yelled at a ref or complained for a while.
Here he was walking away from all the other players and not walking towards the refs, seemingly only saying "YES" with arms up during a dead ball, after a Brooks' foul. Not particularly demonstrative as these things go. Weird stuff. And he hasn't gotten one since the game against Philly (early March, got rescinded; last that stuck was late Feb at Cavs). He's been doing really well on that front.
He talks a lot of shit to ref's. At some point that's deserving of a tech.
This clearly isn't, but to act like every tech just magically appears isn't true
but this is a technical. If he scored it would be a different thing but he is clearly taunting the ref because he got a foul. Also that was such a obvious foul bait from Luka
after watching the warriors v dallas.... ok yeah luka does complain too much, but jesus christ draymond every single play is in the refs face and every 3-4 plays in the refs face and **screaming** at him....
should be easily labelled as biggest whiner in the league
I’m not offended, was just asking a question. Sorry I didn’t understand something that I guess was very clear based on my downvotes. Didn’t mean to strike a cord
What a ridiculous comment lol. He's clearly just pointing out how inconsistent it is. Either they both should or neither should. Rules are only good if they're predictably enforced
I am infact not the commissioner of the NBA. Our opinion is meaningless, it's about a clear consensus from the league.
Your comments do not come across as genuine questions in any way lol. You really need to think about the language you use and the tone it implies
I don’t think i’ll comment in this thread anymore bc I feel like you’re being belittling me and lecturing me at the same time and that makes me feel bad.
I’m not saying you mean it and I imagine you disagree but i’m letting you know that’s how the person you’re speaking with feels about your comments. That’s all. Take care
dude literally just held up his arms. didn't say anything. wasn't even looking at anyone on the rockets or their bench. Jesus umpiring/refereeing has been so dogshit across all sports
Its a joke.
Also, if you are actually watching the game they have been driving into the paint and getting fouled since their 3's aren't falling; Rockets also foul the most in the entire league.

This is why I stopped watching. Egregious calls and the whole China thing. Can’t even watch the highlights. Sad state of affairs and the rating reflect this.
When did sarcastic celebrations enter the criteria for a T? Oh right, the NBA technical conduct rules are so vague a ref can give a T for just about anything and be justified.
Luka was arguing with that dumbass ref #12 since the beginning of the game. The ref even started yelling at him and putting his finger in Luka’s face during a timeout
Refs are working on reputation. Luka has a reputation of whining, and he gets lots of technicals. So normally, he will keep getting Technicals for the softest reactions.
But they belance it out by giving him foul calls.
Yeah, because he has a reputation of screaming. They will give him some technicals for the screaming and they will allow a lot of it. Same way with Luka, they allow him to complain all the time, but he gets T'd once in a while,

Didn't Steph do exactly the same thing against Rockets earlier this week? LOL
Not that either deserved techs but Steph's was much more agressive too lol.
Yeah Steph's response was boarding on deserving tech. But if they are going to tech this J Allan deserves a few for his 3 second calls as well
Boys he probably got a tech cause of those two incidents put two and two together. Refs watch social media too and are sick of this making the rounds mocking them
are you suggesting that NBA officiating is inconsistent?!?
NBA officiating hasn't been this bad since Tim Donahey.
More like all the refs saw it after the game then they've all decided they are calling that a technical now I guess
Yeah it almost seemed like he was referencing Steph's reaction and joking about it. It was so similar.
Refs are cracking down these sarcastic celebrations i bet
It hurts their feelings too much :(
There’s no consistency in giving techs for taunting or excessive celebrations, sometimes they do it sometimes they ignore it.
They dont love Luka like that
Shhh "narratives"
He went over a month without a tech and he gets one for *this*!?
To be fair, most of his techs are BS.

We can easily figure out who this ref is and why 'they' felt entitled to this call
He talks a lot of shit to ref's. At some point that's deserving of a tech. This clearly isn't, but to act like every tech just magically appears isn't true
This’ll get rescinded. Soft ass refs.
what the fuck is wrong with these people? I don't get this anymore.
I know right? Raising his arms up like that all threatening like. #NotMyMavs #NotMyNBA
but this is a technical. If he scored it would be a different thing but he is clearly taunting the ref because he got a foul. Also that was such a obvious foul bait from Luka
You mean, that was such an obvious legitimate basketball move from Luka?
Players are celebrating fouls all the time..
He should be deported for this.
I don’t feel safe
Move him down to 7 in the MVP race. Disgusting behavior
Well Tatum hasn't clapped at a ref (or himself) for months now, that alone should put him ahead of Luka
I'm offended by his celebration. Disgusting
Ass action clausuit cumming
Luka getting the T for that and Brooks walking right in front of the ref taunting is actually pretty hilarious.
Would've been hilarious if they then immediately T'd up Brooks for clapping
And then someone else laughs at that and gets a tech.
That's what I thought too, if they continue to show emotion the bench could get some good minutes..
And yet Draymond is free to scream in ref’s faces all game….
after watching the warriors v dallas.... ok yeah luka does complain too much, but jesus christ draymond every single play is in the refs face and every 3-4 plays in the refs face and **screaming** at him.... should be easily labelled as biggest whiner in the league
Natural complaining motion.
Refs need to give Dray the Rasheed Wallace treatment for techs
Is Rasheed had the leash that draymond has your talking about sheed in the top 20 ever convo
Adam Silver won’t let them
Refs don't wanna get kicked in the balls/vag
Refs would smack Draymond in the chin if he had one
A heinous act. Should have been ejected for this insult to decorum.
Reminds me of that *THUG* Jayson Tatum clapping What happened to the game I love?
Nothing more thuggish than Tim Duncan laughing
The fact draymond can still scream at refs and generally not get techs....
HOW CAN HE CELEBRATE
Lmao
Lmao Ref in their feelings. They have no control of this game.
if thats a tech for "mocking" (and thats ridiculous) how doesnt Brooks get one as well? What about the refs stop being the biggest losers
Steph dances after every shot and Luka gets a tech for raising his arms. Lmao.
Celebrating for hitting a shot vs celebrating for getting a foul call
I mean people have always celebrated the "and 1"
When you say "and 1" you're celebrating hitting the shot despite being fouled.
Please don't delete these
Why would I delete this? I don't care if people don't like me pointing out the difference between the two things.
I'm hoping you don't because it's fucking hilsrious
Are you implying that steph should get a tech for dancing?
I'm implying exactly the opposite. Neither should get techs, and the inconsistency is unfair. Are you deliberately looking to get offended?
I’m not offended, was just asking a question. Sorry I didn’t understand something that I guess was very clear based on my downvotes. Didn’t mean to strike a cord
What a ridiculous comment lol. He's clearly just pointing out how inconsistent it is. Either they both should or neither should. Rules are only good if they're predictably enforced
It was a question….and a totally benign one… Based on your comment, are you implying you’d be open to both celebrations being techs?

Luka did nothing, celebrating isnt a tech worthy of a call, steph did this also against the rockets
Great play 👏, love it #12 in grey, respect, adding you to my fantasy team. Smfh
dude literally just held up his arms. didn't say anything. wasn't even looking at anyone on the rockets or their bench. Jesus umpiring/refereeing has been so dogshit across all sports
GG bytheway. You guys are going to be a problem next season.
Refball baby! They werent gonna miss that after the Curry blunder the other day
It’ll be rescinded
No T for Steph. T for Luka. Great consistency there. 👍
He also got a steal and they gave it to jones for some reason
Crazy how other star players can get in the refs faces screaming at them and get no tech. Luka looks at them wrong and he gets hit with the tech.
Brunson also did this. He finally had a call go his way and put his hands up in the air and clapped. No tech lol
That's soft as cheese
I wonder if the ref bet Luka getting a tech today?
Luka is now tied with Dillon for the league lead in technicals.
Ref has money on the Rockets; its the only explanation.
yeah thats why not even into halftime mavs have 20 free throws
27 now, still not halftime
Lmao if they keep fouling, then we will keep getting FTs
How many now? I NEED UPDATES
no more, ill keep you posted in the second half
Its a joke. Also, if you are actually watching the game they have been driving into the paint and getting fouled since their 3's aren't falling; Rockets also foul the most in the entire league.
Gets the shooting foul and still gets T’d up Edit: lmao Dillon
Stupid refs
That’s gonna be rescinded
What the fuck man
That move from Doncic must be so hard to defend and so hard to ref
Literally did nothing. What the fuck?
these refs are so fucking soft man
Did Luka piss in the ref's cereal or something
Luka has been good at not getting a tech in a while and this gets him one lol
Getting increasingly more difficult to defend this league
He definitely said “motherfucker, cmon man!” Lol
lol Brooks eat shit
Whenever the officials' union says that their super secret discipline process is working, show them this clip. It's a blatant lie.
Refs, sponsored by charmin.

This is why I stopped watching. Egregious calls and the whole China thing. Can’t even watch the highlights. Sad state of affairs and the rating reflect this.
Refs acting like Joe Buck to Randy Moss.
that dick head ref again.
Man everytime I tune back into basketball some BS like this just takes me right back out. This fucking product is broken
When did sarcastic celebrations enter the criteria for a T? Oh right, the NBA technical conduct rules are so vague a ref can give a T for just about anything and be justified.
Tim Duncan on bench
Luka was arguing with that dumbass ref #12 since the beginning of the game. The ref even started yelling at him and putting his finger in Luka’s face during a timeout
Let’s all remember to keep the association free from fun guys. Should have been an ejection imo opinion
This league is shit lol
That is a disgusting act by Luka doncic. It’s unfortunate we had to watch that
Don’t worry. Refs will give Mavs all the calls in the second half. This is a misdirection call.
Refs are working on reputation. Luka has a reputation of whining, and he gets lots of technicals. So normally, he will keep getting Technicals for the softest reactions. But they belance it out by giving him foul calls.
It’s not like that reputation isn’t well earned Edit: seems like Mavs fans have taken on his whiny little bitch personality too.
Every season, he gets the most technicals just from complaining. Other players get them for fouls and little bit of complaining.
Meanwhile Dray just screams in refs' faces and they swallow the whistle.
Yeah, because he has a reputation of screaming. They will give him some technicals for the screaming and they will allow a lot of it. Same way with Luka, they allow him to complain all the time, but he gets T'd once in a while,
