What did he do? When he was called on the foul on Flake? Why did he get the T?

I wondered the same thing. Here is the play.

I didnt even think it was a foul on Gasol.

Which is why the fans were booing, looking at the replay on the jumbotron. Gasol and the fans get a bad rap.

I think it was a foul on Gasol...I certainly didn't see anything T worthy.

There was no T.

There was a tech called..Chris Paul shot the technical.

I thought the ref called it cause he thought Marc was being sarcastic when he raised his hand to acknowledge the foul. In the video he blows the whistle right after that

Those refs totally sucked last night. what they called and what they didn't call and when they did or didn't call it.

Webber pi$$ed me off about the booing as he was assuming they were booing Griffin but he had no way of knowing that, even if they were. My guess was that they were booing the T called on Gasol. Hell Chris, this is Memphis and this is how we roll.

We were booing the ******* clippers fan they were showing on the scoreboard.

The violent fist pump at the :06 mark is the only thing that could have been called a tech. The tech was called several seconds after he did that though so idk. Plus thats the kind of ticky tac tech that you let go in the playoffs

I have no shame in admitting most of the arena was booing Blake Griffin. Cry wolf all the time and you won't get the benefit of a doubt. The whole arena thought he was faking, and for the most part he was. Fans were booing theatrics, not the "injury". Classless fans cheer injuries.

Well, pluck me. I sure missed it. My son said something about Gasol getting a T , but I didn't think he got one. Just a personal. Hell, it took 15 minutes to get Griffin and his entire organization off the court. I've never , NEVER EVER , seen anything like that before.

This

Someone from ESPN tweeted "Stay classy Memphis" at which point I tweeted him "let me tell you a story about a little boy that cried wolf"

Chris Fall and the Floppers have whined like babies this whole series. Seems like it has paid off. If I was an official I wouldn't give them a single call the way they gripe. I hope Paul and Griffin both get 2 Ts in game 6.

Chris Webber said , two or three times on the air, that those that were booing were classless.

It was just said on the Parrish show, by Caulkins, that Gasol was given a flagrant on that play.....holy cow!!!! Really?
