The NBA could increase the number of technical fouls that a players can receive without suspension in the postseason.

Currently, when a player reaches seven technicals he automatically receives a one-game suspension.

NBA president Joel Litvin told ESPN.com that he thinks the league has "a fair system," but added that the league will evaluate the rule prior to next season.

"Many things in our game get reviewed after the season," Litvin said. "Certainly given the attention that this rule has received, I have no doubt that we'll be discussing this after the playoffs. But there will be lots of things we'll be discussing after the playoffs.

"We've only had one player [Detroit's Rasheed Wallace in 2007] exceed the limit in the four years that we've had this system in place. That would suggest [the system] has helped control player behavior on the floor in a way that we think is good for the game and good for the players."

Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard both have six technical fouls this postseason.
