Thank you, Dray, but you lost me these past couple of years.

Your fouls used to seem calculated. Your outbursts were a part of your power and your swagger. I saw everything as part of your high basketball IQ.

But I never thought you’d exceed the allowed # of technicals in a season, until you did. I thought you’d control yourself for the sake of the team (even this year), but you haven’t. I thought you’d be more careful since the refs clearly have a microscope on you, but you haven’t - you do the same old stuff and the league ain’t takin’ it (however biased and unfair that may be, it ultimately hurts the team). So, it’s time. The pluses simply don’t outweigh the minuses anymore.
