Who was Dougie Fresh gettin on?

NEWARK, N.J. - Monday afternoon, before the 76ers faced the New Jersey Nets, the NBA announced that Sixers coach Doug Collins was fined $15,000 for verbal abuse of an official after Saturday's impressive 109-106 overtime win against the streaking Indiana Pacers.

The object of Collins' ire appeared to be referee Zach Zarba. There was some contact down the stretch that Collins didn't seem to care for, especially an apparent karate chop-type swipe on Jrue Holiday in which there was no call.

Following the win, Collins was seen directing some choice words toward the officials.

"I don't ever want to get fined. I've been in the NBA for 40 years," Collins said. "It was sort of a buildup over a few things. It wasn't one thing, it was sort of a buildup. It was an emotional game, and we were able to win the game and stuff. I didn't leave the court in a timely fashion, and I should have been fined. The league did what they should have done, and I apologized."

The buildup Collins was talking about probably wasn't just from the lack of calls he wanted down the stretch on Saturday.

On Feb. 19 in Minnesota, Zarba called a reach-in foul on Andre Iguodala with one-tenth of a second left in the game and the Sixers leading by 91-90. Zarba claimed Iguodala fouled Kevin Love while the forward was driving to the lane after an inbounds pass. Replays and still photos appeared to show Iguodala grabbing all ball on the play. After that game, Collins also threw some verbal lobs toward Zarba.

Asked whether that's what he was referring to when he said his Saturday outburst had been a buildup of a few things, Collins quipped, "No, because then you're trying to get me to go further, right?"

Stress is getting to him but that is awesome.

[ice grillin you]

need a combo of (2) sixer losses/knick wins to face chicago instead of miami

tonight
clippers at knicks
sixers at milwaukee (no iguodala - brand or possibly lou)

tomorrow
knicks at charlotte
sixers at detroit (no iguodala - brand or possibly lou)

[MDS]

brand, igy and thad are all staying home

lou is out tonight, jeru is out tomorrow

i assume doug will go light on minutes for the other guys. knicks also want the 6 so they will be trying at least tonight.

[BigEd76]

The Sixers weren't even trying and still won.  Knicks won too

[MDS]

the knicks cant possibly to charlotte, can they?

either way sixers better make sure

[ice grillin you]

melo and chandler are out tonight and woodson is gonna decide on amare today...guess what hes gonna do?...still the knicks second five is better than charlottes first five

all that is irrelevant tho...the sixers farging MUST tank this game tonight....someone tell evan turner to stop being so serious and that no matter what he does in meaningless games no one is going to think more of him

[phattymatty]

exactly. i didn't see the knicks game last night but i do know that they went from 18 up to 3 up in the last quarter. have a feeling they're doing the same thing, which makes sense. 

tonight should be an xavier silas - craig brackens game.

[MDS]

games start at the same time, too (for some reason every single game is at 800 tonight), so they cant get a heads start on knowing what the knicks are doing

must. lose.

[Hawk]

They can't be that dumb can they?   They know the heat will sweep them so there's literally no rational for winning tonight.

[reese125]

Turner doesnt care. He's gunning for his first triple double in the worst way tonight and carrying the team to victory.

Must live up to the hype.

[BigEd76]

ET said he'd rather face the Bulls than the Heat (which everyone else also thinks) and ESPN turned this into a front-page article where he's disrespecting the Bulls

ET
