"I don't understand what's going on with technical fouls," said Stoudemire, who should have 14 technicals but had one rescinded after an appeal. "I'm really just playing the game. I just bumped [him] a little bit. It's not that serious for a technical foul.

"I don't understand what the officials are thinking out there," he said. "That [had] nothing to do with respecting the game. [It's] part of the game, [and] happens every game. I'm not sure what they're looking at."

Amare needs to know that the refs are targeting him & relax a bit.
Dwight & Amare seem to get the most ticky-tac technical fouls called on them in the league.
Meanwhile, a guy like KG can do the same chest bump, and not only does he not get a T,
but they'll throw a parade for him on ESPN & NBA TV. ****!

He almost got thrown out of the game. Ten days ago, Minnesota had 5 technicals called against them in 10 seconds. The refs have to relax a bit on these calls. They are ruining the game. I want to see the players play.

i agree... it's beyond ridiculous & really disrupts the flow & enjoyment of the game... this is an emotional sport... let the guys vent a little as long as it doesn't get out of hand... these refs have become a buncha little primadonnas

Targeting him?

Please.

He can't control his impulses, it's animalistic behavior.

So true , you see Garnett trash talk and do dirty stuff and on espn and nba tv they praise him and say he's being competitive smh. It's strange with Amare because he seems to complain and not get called with a T but then he gets a T for petty stuff.

That's all observer bias, what you're coming with here. It seems that way because you have a strong dislike of Garnett, the Celtics, whatever, and your love of the Knicks is the same bias in the other direction. So that's not the case, he's not targeted, there is no conspiracy against Amar'e.

He's a hothead that can't control himself.
