I’m a real refs fan and this season has been some of their best work
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
Interestingly, I always felt that when the league office retroactively gave Draymond a flagrant 1 in 2016, that it should have been a tech.
I guess eventually when you do what he does, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt.
Because he is a cunt
The foul was assessed in a deadball state lol. They called a common foul on Donovan to stop play. The escalation in the aftermath of the foul lead to the refs going to monitor.
They then reviewed the leadup to Donovan's shove on Draymond to see if he deserved a tech and saw that Draymond indeed shoved Donovan in the back which is an easy Tech since it is a non-basketball play that is dangerous.
Cathartic release
Ref show.
Can you retroactively assess a personal foul for something that happened on a previous play?
You're missing the part you are just quoting:
An official may assess a technical foul, without prior warning, at any time.
If he don’t get them taken away by the nba I would sue the refs just to prove a point. If I was him.
Folks just refusing to actually answer the question
FIA is in charge tonight
Who cares he gets away with murder
Well deserved
refs have been horrendous whole game. drama queens
Makeup call for the hundreds missed in the past
Reputation
Warriors fans truly in shambles over Dray facing the consequences of his actions for once. You love to see it.
never seen something like that in my life. very interested to see how it’s justified in the rules
Bruh warriors fans when something doesn’t go there way
Draymond is a millionaire who lives rent free
Because he deserved it
Ben Taylor masterclass
Cos Donkey a bitch
“Assessed” meaning they won’t stop play and call it. It can still happen during a live ball.
He's a shithead who got away with screaming at the refs for a minute straight the other night.
He was due.
Who cares, there’s no player in league history that has dodged more deserved techs than Draymond.
“Assessed” means called. It does not mean that the technical can not occur during live ball.
Does a tight reading of this rule mean, if the ball is in play, you can only get a tech for taking a swing at someone if you *don't" connect? Landing a punch makes it a flagrant?
I can. Its Green and he spent the whole game screaming at refs. Also he tried to fight Mitchell after a common foul.
He’s a bitch
No explanation needed. Refs have been bloody outrageous this season and sad thing is nothing is gonna change
Y’all are delusional. Dray absolutely deserved to be tossed. The only mistake the refs was not doing it sooner. He should have been ejected when he pushed Donovan in the back
it means you cant stop play to assess a tech. because it interferes with the flow of the game.
Why would you come to this reddit out of all places to get an explanation. No good basketball discussion exists here. No one here is objective let alone intelligent. It’s just full of teenagers that love to circle jerk over their hate of Draymond so they can all feel good about their boring lives. It’s the pure definition of living rent free in their heads.
I usually resist this kind of conclusion but man this thread is the absolute worst (best?) example of this (as in, your comment is absolutely accurate). The downvotes for obviously accurate information that just happens to be about a player they don't like for other reasons is nutso.
