I don't think this technical was so bad as a couple of previous ones. Luka did overreact to a wrong call and ref decided to quickly send a message that he is not willing to tolerate that. I can accept this.
Probably a good way to look at it. Against the Lakers, Exum hit 6 threes. We got that same medicine with Naz last night. With our roster construction and current injuries we just aren't going to win many games when we don't hit our threes and the other team does. That is true for most teams but I hope as we continue to build the roster we aren't so tied to make or miss threes.
