Per RealGM, Tyson was fined $7,500 for Tweeting during the Toronto game. Wonder what he posted? Not that what he said got him fined-simply Tweeting during a game does that, it's just that I'd like to see what kind of tweet costs you $7,500. (Wait, that didn't sound that dirty when I first said it...)

Must be at halftime. I'm wondering too. The NBA has gotten pretty hardcore about Twitter. I'm wondering why the players still feel compelled to tweet during games.

Someone should tweet at him: "How bout putting down the blackberry and grabbing more than 5 boards, Lurch?"

If I weren't scared that a 7'0" 260 pound angry dude might show up at my front door ready to kick my ass, I would be all over that tweet. :biggrin:

I don't know but I sure as hell know that's a job I don't want.

Old people policing technology... pure genius! It's like having a Kardashian sister in charge of an exit strategy for Afghanistan.

Are players also fined if someone else updates their webpage during a game?

Tyson doesn't even handle the tweeting himself. So apparently it is not only a violation to tweet during a game, but a violation if someone else does it on your behalf. Kinda lame imho.
