Kevin Durant got tossed last night for the first time in his career after picking up his second technical with a little under two minutes to play in the Thunder’s 110-93 loss to the Nets.

Stackhouse is a real gangsta.

As someone that’s been on the receiving end of punches, and a Timbaland boot to the dome on one occassion, Jeff Hornacek is a pretty gangsta dvde too; simply by surviving this onslaught from Jerry.
