Rasheed has 5 technical fouls already this season

[Surferdad]

I could find only this Yahoo reference.  Certainly alarming.

I've been alarmed by the way we're racking up technical so far. I'm hoping it'll slow down like it did last season. Perk has about 4 I believe Pierce, Doc and KG all have a couple.
Perk is probably leading the league in techs given for nonverbal reactions which is amazing to me because he basically has the the same facial expression all game. How are the refs reading the nuances in his expressions to decipher what constitutes a T?

Quick Whistle. Even Perk got hit with few of those. Its badge of honor for the refs. You're nothing unless you hit sheed with a tech. And for Perk, he gets one just by looking. Perk stare-downs are vicious. You can kill a goat by one of those.

Perk has five techs too ...

ESPN keeps a count on technical fouls + flagrant fouls + ejections on their personal fouls stat page.

Perk has a taunting problem as much as an arguing problem. KG is probably a bad influence here since he has mastered getting away with taunting. Perk lacks the finesse.

Sheed is just ridiculous cuz he forces the refs to give him a T by arguing for a full minute, following the ref around the court.

Thanks for posting this.  I was shocked to see Dwight Howard and Kobe up there in the foul count.

I know that Perk and Sheed are easy targets for the refs, and that they did establish that reputation, but I feel that this season they have been T'ed up most of the times for doing nothing worth of a technical. Just remember the Technical Perkins got in the Pacers game, which had not sense at all... well, the league didn't rescind it.

But I'm not worried, I don't think they will reach the fatidic 16 mark.

sheed never shuts up. if it's about showing up the officials he should be teched up even earlier. i just want sheed to play the game and stop talking(and chucking rushed 3 attempts too,please).

[Redz]

Is that all?

Seriously, I would have thought it was more.

[housecall]

The time it could be a major problem and will really affect the team is playoff time.I hope both Sheed and Perk put a lid on it by that time.There's a time to let it all hangout and theres a time to zip it up.I as a fan would be upset if one of them blew up on a ref with a playoff game on the line.

[xmuscularghandix]

last nights technical was ridiculous. Hell, Rivers and PP both got them too. Sometimes you gotta speak up when your not getting ANY calls. Especially when you have like 60 points in the paint with no fouls called... c'mon.

TP for the chuckle...

On a scale of 1 to care, I'm a 2. If they go over 16 and start getting suspended, I'll care.

The only techs I care about are 4th quarter or over time techs of a close game.
