Unsporting T
Josh Tiven called a technical foul on Lance Stephenson for this.

Lance Stephenson is not catching any breaks tonight. on Twitpic

You guys agree? What about at the NCAA or HS level?

Don't know the what happened during the game to precede the T, so I can't say whether I agree with it or not.

It was early in the second quarter. No other confrontations or conduct worth noting beforehand.

Can we stop with the automatic re-peating GIFs? Very annoying (at least to me).

Here's the video and a little more info on the play. This seems to be taunting to some degree.

I wonder if the NBA sent out any communications to the officials and players after the ball fake on Kobe a few years ago that was a similar play that went with a no call.

Irrelevant. Each action should be evaluated on it's own merits.

Given the extra emphasis on taunting in NCAA and HS, I have no problem with this call at those levels. And, I'm glad it was called in the NBA because what happens there trickles down.
