I heard they might suspend Davis for 5-6 games. Hey, it's not like he threw a chair or anything!!

My opinion is that the second technical could have come a little quicker. The official did a good job of trying to de-escalate Davis by saying "walk away", but I would have only said it twice (however, I'm still a rookie official) . By saing it several times, the ref "gave Davis a gift"--kind of opens up the can of worms that people may interpret as "sorry, we missed that call, so here's your chance to back down before we tech you again".

Just my opinion. I was watching the game and screamming "c'mon, tech him again!!" even though I really wanted Indiana to win. Davis was in the wrong, and his staff was no help. It was an easy call to make. At least Davis apologized for the error, and admitted that his error put the final nail in the coffin for that game. Games can be won with less than five seconds on the clock. It ain't easy, but it can be done.
