Draymond's shove should've been a flagrant/common foul, not tech according to the rules. (alien.top)

https://official.nba.com/rule-no-12-fouls-and-penalties/

An official may assess a technical foul, without prior warning, at any time. A technical foul(s) may be assessed to any player on the court or anyone seated on the bench for conduct which, in the opinion of an official, is detrimental to the game. The technical foul must be charged to an individual. A technical foul cannot be assessed for physical contact when the ball is alive.

So as the ball was live when Draymond's shove happened (https://imgur.com/a/sbkQB1K), why did they assess the T for it retroactively? Flagrant or common foul if they did not think the contact was enough for flagrant imo.

Truly a Ben Taylor special.

Let this be known.....we do not care. Draymond is the one person in the league who i do not mind gettin fucked by the refs.

So I guess it's indeed impossible to have a normal discussion about rules if it involves Draymond, lol.

Refs fucked up by giving him a wrong foul, then fucked up again by giving Spida just a common foul and it is a common occurence in this season (JJJ, Giannis ejections etc), but lets just focus on "Fuck Draymond".

Mate Dray had already 5 offenses that could have been given techs. Obviously no-one is thinking the way this all went down was without error but eventually we arrived at the correct outcome, so you're gonna have a hard time convincing anyone otherwise.
