Regardless of what provoked it, I was disappointed Hayward didn't respond. A double-technical is not the worst thing in the world if it shows you're not going to walk away from every conflict you face. I know I'm more old school, but I don't think West should be suspended and thought an ejection was 50/50...but Hayward and the Jazz have to get PO'd once in awhile when someone does something cheap to them. Still young, but teams know they can punk the Jazz and that's a tough rep to shake once you have it.
Karl Malone did many similar things KG or Harpring did. Kobe did as well. Players like that will test the boundries and then go out and try to get away with as much as the referees allow them to. You love it when those guys are on your team and hate it when you're playing against them, but it's competing and using any means necessary to try to win. I'll take that type of competitor over guys not giving a 'crap' any day.
