Cred to Noa Dalzell: “JB said he got a tech for telling the refs the tech on Joe was for no reason: “He said, ‘if you say it to me again, I’ll call another tech. Then he called the tech. Like, man, get out of here. You can't threaten guys with a technical foul. That's not part of the game either”
Jaylen on why he got a tech: “telling the refs the 1 on Joe was for no reason”

That was some soft as baby shit refereeing. That guy should not be an NBA ref
Refs are stupid across the board tonight.
Tagging u/NoaDalzellNBA
If he says “you called a tech for no reason” they can answer him and say “we called it because ___” like a fucking adult.
Even if the reason is bullshit, they knew they couldn’t justify any answer so they threatened him with a tech. He called them out and they went through on their threat.
Definition of a power trip. Jaylen is 100% right here if that was the exchange.
Edit: can someone post this clip to r/nba ?
I feel like it would do good to share with the general public that refs are threatening players with technicals fouls with no sort of justification in the rule book for it.
The ONLY section of the rulebook this exchange could possibly fall under is
*Overt actions indicating resentment to a call or no-call*
But I would hardly consider an exchange of “you called a tech for no reason” while barely moving his body (watch the play when the tech is called on Brown) an overt action.
This is, by the book, unjustifiable, and the tech should be rescinded at minimum and Justin Van Duyne should be fined.
Ref went full asshat tonight
Do NOT step on that court man
This is just good old power abuse we’re familiar with
Call me what you want, but this guy is the Kanye West of the NBA and I absolutely love it.
Or or or hear me out just play and stop talking to the refs. Most techs r bc the league has deemed that action an unsportsmanlike act. They r enforcing rules they don’t write the rules. We whine too damn much and it will continue to cost us games until we toughen up a bit
Tell me again how 3-point shooting is what is ruining the ratings
JB attitude is always perfect even if his play sometimes lacks.
Great dude
Referees are the same personalities that become cops. Bitch made power hungry dweebs.
Forsberg was saying on the postgame show the dude has been in the league I think 9 years or something, and has only done 3 playoff games, which tells you what the league thinks about him… my question would be if the league knows he’s that bad, why is he still employed?
It is like a vicious cycle. then Tatum got one telling the refs the 1 on Brown for no reason… then White got one tech telling the refs the 1 on tatum for no reason.
These refs have too much power over the games with their feelings, there needs to be some accountability this changes games outcomes man
Fuck. Yea. JB.
My opinion – he warned you – you said it again and got another tech. You say it cases a 5 point swing. Instead since he warned you, you could think – game is close – swallow my pride, stfu and try not give free points away.
Tatum also. Refs to stop doing the wave off. He gets techs for doing it so needs to learn to stop – especially if the game is close. If you’re up 15 – sure, make your point.
Time and a place for everything.
