In a no holds barred series like this current one pitting the Bad Boys of Detroit against the young guns of Cleveland, every point counts...including point scored from opportunities when a player is called for a technical foul.
Rasheed Wallace, having already been called for countless technical fouls in both the regular season and the postseason, has been known to have to run to the other side of the court when he loses his cool just to avoid a technical.
Starting point guard Chauncey Billups explained that, "We have been trying alternative methods in order to keep Rasheed in order during our games. Sometimes two or three of us have to restrain him, just so that in a close game, we won't be giving up any technical foul shots. Rip started making suggestions, and finally C-Web pointed out that it would probably just be better to leave his aggression at home with his wife and kids. We're known for having a deep lineup, but we need Sheed posting up against Z and Andy on the other side."
One thing is true, I'm sure that Fatima is a very supportive wife and will do whatever she can to help her husband win another championship...even if it means thinking up new explanations for the black eyes.
