Even when Rasheed Wallace is dressed in street clothes and doesn't sit on the bench, he gets blamed for technical fouls.
As teammate Rip Hamilton was leaving MSG tonight after the Pistons' 101-97 victory, Wallace -- of all people -- was giving him grief from the stands, where he was entertaining some schoolchildren who'd attended the game.
Hamilton motioned toward Wallace and told an acquaintance in the stands above the locker room tunnel: "I would've never gotten thrown out if I didn't play on the same team as him."
Flip Saunders was none too pleased with Hamilton's two technicals and automatic ejection in the second quarter, saying his scoring guard needs to keep his composure better. When Wallace returns from his ankle injury, he's the one who's supposed to be getting tossed out of games.
