Naw, we looked up the NBA rule way back on that long thread with the Maverick fanboys and the goof that posed as Mark Cuban. The NBA rule is pretty explicit.

NBA rule 5, Section VII-g:
Requests fot a timeout in excess of the authorized number shall be granted and a technical foul shall be assessed. Following the timeout, the ball will be awarded to the opposing team and play shall resume with a throw-in nearest the spot where play was interrupted.
