New York Knicks power forward/center Taj Gibson was irate after being ejected from Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Gibson was called for an offensive foul while trying to set a pick. His initial reaction was to complain as it appeared to be a questionable call, as the Bleacher Report tweeted out.

After the initial complaint, the ref gave him a technical. Gibson took exception and complained a bit further and was then given another technical foul tossed from the game. That happened in the matter of a couple of seconds leaving the Knicks center in disbelief.
It was the 2nd offensive foul called on Gibson in the first quarter. That is why he is seen holding up two fingers, referencing the two fouls. It's inexplicable for him to then receive two technical fouls.
The Knicks big man immediately strolled to the locker room. Without Gibson, the Knicks front court is left shorthanded vs a very good Bulls team.
Bulls center Nikola Vucevic had already been dominating in the paint, and Gibson is one of the few players who can bang with him down low.
New York is looking to get a little consistency. They have alternated wins and losses over their last nine games, losing most recently to Brooklyn. The Knicks are 11-10 entering Thursday night, holding the 10th and final spot of the play in tournament.
