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.

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".

Yes it is impossible to have a normal discussion about rules in regards to dray because he literally breaks rules and gets away with it constantly.

Cry bout it.

Cry bout it.

The irony of "cry about it" when you're literally saying "we won't talk to you /will downvotes you about this interesting wrinkle in the rules that may have been misapplied because I don't like that guy and he makes me so mad!"

“Oh no people criticized my favorite bully what will I do.”
