Dear Mr. Stern,
SAVE SHEED
As NBA fans who Love This Game, we beg you to get rid of the Zero Tolerance Technical foul rule that you have put in place this season. We as fans understand you are trying to clean up the league, but we like the game with emotion and flair. How can you take the beloved game of basketball we love so much and sterilize it? We understand the need for technical fouls, but this has gone too far.
Do you expect fans to sit in our seats and not make a peep when our team wins a game on a buzzer beating shot? No we cant its the excitement of the game, we cant help but root for our team. If we cant keep quiet how do you expect a player to in the heat of battle?
We as fans would like to stop questioning calls that change the courses of games. You have put too much power in the hands of referees that are inconsistent and and who at times seem unfair. It makes it hard for any NBA fan to question that a game has been called fairly.
Most of all please save Sheed. We happen to think that hes been treated unfairly over the past few years. Even you have rescinded quite a few of the meaningless techs hes gotten just for the fact that he is Rasheed Wallace. So Need4Sheed.com, along with NBA fans around the world, are pleading to you to SAVE SHEED and all the other NBA players that will surely be affected by your long arm of the law.
SAVE SHEED and the game of Basketball as we know it!

- So now we have to watch the referees, instead of the game. Where's the zero tolerance rule for (cheating) referees?????? The fans (esp. ticket buyers ) should be able to vote on these types of rules!

- Techs are apart of the game, despite how they get out of hand somtimes, it can also make the game more interesting, this is a body contact sport, players are gonna get frustrated when they want to win.

- This rule is letting the referees have to much control over the game and the tempo, it also takes out the emotion in the game, which is part of the game, people watch the game to feel the excitement and watch your team enjoy something they enjoy doing at high level of play. Do you want the players to be robots? It kind of takes the fun out of the game. I saw a player get a tech for throwing his arms up, ridiculous. Arguing with the ref is part of the game. I think in these days, I think even Joe D would get a tech.

- Dear Mr Stern, NBA is a game of emotions, please get rid of the zero tolerance, this reminds me of elementary school. We pay for our seats to watch our players play not so that we can watch them leave the game.
