buckeyesin07;1700290; said:So has anyone seen the video that everyone is talking about today in which Celtics GM Danny Ainge (who was sitting behind the hoop in Monday's game 2) threw a towel high in the air to distract Hickson just as he was about to shoot a free throw? While it had no bearing on the outcome of the game (indeed, Hickson made the free throw), it seems like a total bush league, unsportsmanlike move. Especially since it was an NBA GM that did this, I can't imagine he gets away without a fine of some amount.

buckeyesin07;1700411; said:Do they throw things 10-15 feet into the air? Didn't think so. And is your common fan the GM of an NBA team? Again, I don't think so. Maybe you don't see things the same way, but I hold NBA GMs to a higher standard than Joe NBA Fan. If you disagree, then please explain why Mark Cuban gets fined for bashing officiating, but Joe NBA fan doesn't.

Mark Cuban gets fined for bashing officiating because the NBA prohibits owners and employees from bashing officiating.
