Marc Davis

[APG]

Should he be DQ'd for the rest of the playoffs? Hell no.

Even if the League doesn't like his reasoning for the T, at worst, depending on his reasoning, should just get a IC for his grade. This doesn't even raise to the level of the incident between Joe Crawford and Tim Duncan (which was the last time, I can remember in recent history, that a NBA Finals officials got suspended for any real length of time). They'll rescinde the T (he'll maybe get a one game suspension at very worst IMO) if it's warranted and life will move on...there will be no credibility issues from this "incident." Nothing that would be made any worst or any better from listening to your reasoning.

I watched the ESPN replay of the game action for about ninety seconds leading to the technical and saw nothing unusual. The only other thing I can conjecture is maybe Davis thought Evans was taunting the Memphis player by celebrating.

I wasn't sure what Marc Davis gave the T for...but this isn't (at least IMO) something that's enough to suspend an official for for the rest of the playoffs like you suggested.
