Wallace is on the court for 85 seconds and gets ejected against the Suns for committing a flagarant foul on Scola then complaining the call. Welcome back Sheed, really missed you.

That was a ridiculous second technical. All he said was "ball don't lie" and it wasn't aimed at anyone, he just looked up and yelled it. The refs just give him Technicals on reputation.

Melbourne anon, just because he doesn't know when to shut up either.
According to NBA RULES regarding Technical Fouls, one can be assessed to a player for "(3) Overt actions indicating resentment to a call".
According to most players, "Ball Don't Lie" is said when a player misses one, two or all three of his free throws after a questionable foul call is made by an official. The ball is, essentially, the unbiased judge who will not reward the player by going in if the apparent foul was indeed questionable.
Therefore, the act of YELLING "Ball Don't Lie" would be an "overt action indicating resentment to a call".
