Dillon Brooks bullish about latest technical being rescinded

If you tuned in to watch the below strength Phoenix Suns outlast the Brooklyn Nets 106-102, then you'll know it was a physical battle that boiled over near the end of the game.

A scuffle resulting in a cleared bench for Phoenix (just so many assistant coaches on the court...) and a whopping six technical fouls called throughout the contest.

Dillon Brooks believes his 15th technical will be rescinded

For those that didn't watch, it will come as no surprise to learn that Dillon Brooks was one of the players who received a technical which takes him to 15 on the season. One more, and he will be suspended for a game.

Not that Brooks thinks he'll be leading the league in that category for long, as he confidently told Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic that he expects the tech to be overturned.

As he sees it, the play under the basket with Egor Dёmin in which Brooks didn't really appear to do anything at all and which led to the technical has shades of fouls that have been overturned already this season.

It is also fair to point out, and Brooks had plenty of thoughts as you can see above, that for that moment to be called a technical, referees would be handing them out every night if they stopped the game every time two players got wrapped up.

Putting that out there is exactly why the tech likely won't be overturned, even though he has a point. Questioning the referees in any way rarely goes well for the person that does it.

Brooks also, for better or worse, has a reputation throughout the NBA already, so he is both more likely to get called for fouls during these moments and less likely to have subsequent reviews go his way.

In fairness he has already had one taken away which was given during a game versus the Miami Heat earlier this month, but it is unlikely he is going to be so lucky this time around.

The Suns need Brooks to play with this level of aggression and intensity, especially when they're missing three starters, and skirting along the line is just a part of the Brooks experience.

They also won the game and got a monster performance out of Mark Williams in the process, so it is not like this was a low point on the season. If anything that kind of fight and not backing down is exactly why the Suns will make the playoffs.

But perhaps confidently telling the media that a tech is going to be rescinded directly after a game isn't the move, although if it is we'll gladly eat our words (just not a tweet...).
