    Not that it matters for the purposes of avoiding 16 techs and an automatic suspension – but it was so very clearly BS they had to rescind it to keep a straight face. Usually a pool reporter would ask refs about things like this, but too much happened in the game and the most likely designated reporter was … preoccupied stirring up shit.

    The reason why the tech really sucked (beyond in the moment as Mavs were trying to get back into the game) was that [Luka was clean for more than a month prior](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mavericks/comments/1bx9t3n/lukas_past_month_a_technical_retrospective/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)! Serious improvement from our guy!

    P.S. This is the [3rd Luka-tech rescinded](https://x.com/TheSteinLine/status/1777421375021412472) this season. Crazy.

    Pretty clear it was going to get rescinded when it happened

    It just sucks so much that this got him to 5 fouls. It’s wild that a silly ass call that everyone knows will be rescinded can still impact the game deeply

  4. Oh so you mean celebrating getting a call is outside of normal technicals? Shocking.

    A lot of techs are bullshit but that was one of the worst. I wonder if refs get embarrassed for being so soft

    This has to be stopped. How are refs allowed to rescind techs that gave the other team free points DURING a game?

    If a tech is later rescinded, it should be a massive punishment for the ref

  7. I get everyone makes mistakes so maybe a one off isn’t egregious but like if a ref has a certain amount of his techs rescinded he should get some type of punishment for it because obviously he’s in the feels with the calls

    Just in time for the clouds to part for totality the universe loves Dallas

    Yesterday I’ve learned, it’s better to just clap your hands after the T.

  10. Wasn’t that the same ref who failed to call a blatant push off by the rocket’s player to grab the rebound and put back when the mavs were down by 2 points and mounting a comeback, and he was right there directly looking at it.

  11. Luka this year and esp since the tradline has been much more quiet to the refs. Very enjoyable, i hate that he cried and dont goes back into defense

    There has to be repercussions for the refs. They can’t give free points to the other team when we all knew it was going to get rescinded today.
