In a nutshell, that's why it's the NBE.

If BronBron or Kobe hadda done the exact same thing as Perkins in a key playoff game where each already had a "T", do you think that any official in the league(except for maybe Joey Crawford) is gonna give them a second "T" for doing exactly what Perkins did? Naw, don't think so. I've seen both of 'em get away with a heckuva lot worse so far in the playoffs this year.
I remember seeing and hearing Michael Jordan in his prime mofo an official up one side and down the other about a call that official had just made against the Bulls. Called him everything but a Republican. In his defense though, that official finally got pissed-off enough at MJ to give Dennis Rodman a "T".
That's why it's the NBE!
