Check this out - searched the forum and I don't think it's been mentioned. Wanker ref throws some unneccessary techs, then takes a dive (think Lucan Neill) and claims he was pushed.
Results in OJ Mayo being suspended - he is appealing.

The ref's a clown. He didn't say anything the second time or push the ref. That said, he's a silly boy for going after him.
I suspect this isn't the last we'll hear about it.
Moses,
looks like he dropped some words to the opposition player.
I think OJ looks like an arrogant clown here. In which case he is getting back what Karma is dishing out.
The first T is obviously a game delay. Holding the ball and walking down the court with it.
The second T is probably for language to his opponent. An outomatic T.
And to go after a ref like thank is not only stupid but unjustifiable.
Cop it sweet is you are going to be a punk.

OK, even if the techs are justified - the ref flopped! Took a dive! Who does that???? Check out the over-acting on the fall.

Ok as much as I don't agree with the comment I am about to make...
Wasn't that ref Fabio Grosso?

The ref thought he was Manu Ginobili for a sec there.

xztatik - can't agree that Manu is a flopper. Goes hard at the rack. Is unorthodox in his movements and is great at drawing the foul. Haven't seen him milk any calls before

Manu NOT a flopper??? HA! even fans of Ginobili will admit that he would topple over after a mosquito bite.

Follow up on this story. OJ appealed the decision in Court and had the suspension overturned. Some viseo highlights as well
