This was a stupid fine...Isn't the 3 fingers up(pinky, ring, and middle) and forming a circle(with index and thumb) just stand for the letter b in sign language therefore meaning B for Boston? I was pretty sure Pierce was just repping Boston with that sign..Not any gangs..O well, David Stern is strict in all the wrong places...

How about when Zaza headbutted KG and KG got the fine and the tech and Zaza got a standing ovation?

Not quite a headbutt as a skulltap... lol
I know what you mean though. We were lucky our players didn't get the boot as well.
Did you see Perk step on the court? He could have been busted too, under the law of the commish. David was there to see it also.
