ha, okay, I give up, he tossed it, with some force, underhand, across half the court, harder than soft, but not "firing" , it was not in a line, there was some arc to it, even though it did not even go into the stands, just near some guy sitting on the floor on the baseline. I guess he wasn't a cameraman, maybe someone associated with the Mavs team, which is why they made a fuss.
Ronnie Nunn addresses Favor's tech, but he's wrong.

Did it stay on the court? Was it thrown hard? Seems to me both statements are true from his point of view.
Well Rick Carisle, the Mavs coach, kicked the ball into the stands and actually hit a fan. I will watch to see if he gets a $25,000 fine. I think Favors deserved the technical but I don't think he should have been throw out because he didn't throw it directly at anyone.
When did NBA refs start explaining calls on TV? I would like a public explanation from Dick Bavetta on why he took 5 pts off the score board in 1998 game six? or how about why the NBA refs didn't call goal-tending on Scottie Pippen in 97 when he clearly put his hand in the net to "block" Shannon Anderson layup. Yea, I know I am talking about the past but whenever I see the league or a ref explain a call I just want to scream. They only do it when they think they are right.

That is one thing that really bugs me about the NBA. There is never any word from the league saying the refs were wrong or made the wrong call. The NFL does that all the time. A little more transparency from the league about the refs would probably go a long way with the fans.
You're talking to a guy that is still obsessed with perceptions of the Jazz's dirtiness from 20 years ago. There's your answer.

You missed the point. My opinion does not matter. It was close enough to be a debate. I stated that I did not think it deserved an ejection. However, the refs point is valid. He threw the ball very hard in the general direction of the stands. It was caught by somebody not on the court. He has a right to his POV. It can very easily be interpreted his way.
Favors absolutely deserved the "T". That is obvious. That he put fans in danger of being hit, by throwing the ball the way he did. Is up for debate but it could definitely be argued for. So the ref made the judgement that is was over the top. In your opinion it was not. Unfortunately for you it is his opinion that mattered.
