[Highlight] Technical foul called on Draymond after elbow to the face of Naz Reid – his fifth of the playoffs
Curry out? Draymond rushing to get ejected
Ah yes, just like the Rudy choke hold game
At least he waited until the 2nd quarter this time, I think the choke hold happened like a minute into the game lol
With 0-0 on the board
McDaniels and Klay start talking so clearly the reasonable thing to do is choke out Gobert who was trying to break it up….
Also this is Dray’s first playoff series against Gobert, he is going to put him in a triangle armbar.
My favorite thing about the choke happening was Gobert basically critiquing Draymond’s MMA technique in postgame comments.
Gobert said he initially didn’t think he was choking him because the hold was weak. Then he saw the replay and joked about Draymond not knowing how to choke
Yeah he’s ready for a few days of PTO
I am too.
Contemplating throwing ‘bows in the production meeting tomorrow morning. Gotta set the tone for the CEOs visit next week.
Oops sorry boss, that was a natural conference room move
Susan from Accounting’s getting a little bit too smug for getting 2 Twix bars from the office vending machine, somebody needs to remind her of her place.
He’s going to plot it out to where he has enough tech or flagrant points to be suspended for the game they get eliminated.
He’s gonna get suspended again like in the finals
No Steph, no chance
Draymond Green tests the patience limit of the referees.
Of humanity
I would hate to deal with him as a ref, as a coach, even as a teammate
I hate to deal with him as a fan.
Edit: Fan of basketball, not Dray
fuck this guy, sets the shittiest example i’ve ever seen for a ball player
A 20 point lead in the playoffs is way too much to recover from. Draymond did the right thing.
SVG: “Its a tough call… all he’s trying is to draw a foul”
SVG on the guy who has now done this 5 times in the last 9 games:
“Well, I don’t know if that was intentional”
Ron Artest runs into stands
“Well, how can we know his intentions?”
“He was just trying to return that fan’s cup to him!”
“Omg Naz Reid that coward just hurled himself through the barbershop window!”
“Is there a problem with the Timberwolves?!”
[rips up a copy of Slam Magazine]
“I don’t THINK so!”
Draymond was just trying to dap up Jordan Poole and his hand slipped.
SVG is terrible with this. He has defended Draymond multiple times in the playoffs this year.
SVG is just an all around garbage commentator.
Both van gundys suck if you ask me
That’s the thing I think sometimes people miss with Draymond.
Like sometimes he does something, which could conceivably be “unintentional”, but he “unintentionally” hits people in the face, or stamps on them a lot to the point where he shouldn’t get benefit of the doubt.
This. The NBA basically admits to giving different whistles to players (stars, rookies etc) but the NBAverse insists on reffing Draymond like he’s choir boy David Robinson out there.
He shouldn’t get any benefit of the doubt. None. It’s becoming a player safety issue because he never faces any real consequences. He’s going to hurt somebody out there.
weird how no one else makes “unintentional” movements like these? weird how he’s the only person clips like this regularly surface for
did these fuckwits ever stop to think, yeah, maybe he’s trying to make it look unintentional, on purpose?
i hate the announcers failing to call this out, i can’t stand the lack of dignity for the game
“I never just did things just to do them, come on. I mean, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden smack people upside the head when I get contact, like it’s something to do? Come on, I got a little more sense than that. Yeah I remember smack people upside the head.”
Buy another head ya rich motherfucker.
Said about the same thing last time
TNT Draymond jerkers
I mean he is their coworker, which has always felt absurd
Totally killed my respect for NBA on TNT when they hired Draymond. A blatant conflict of interest that has made their product dramatically worse.
Totally agree. After these playoffs are over I am going to take a stand and stop watching NBA on TNT!
SVG can suck a fat one with all of this draymond sane washing
“We don’t know the intent of that”
Why does Draymond ever get benefit of the doubt????
Richard Jefferson was on The Ryen Russillo podcast recently and Ryen asked him about what broadcasters can say when stupid stuff like this happens (around the 1:09:00 mark).
Essentially, Richard says they have to be 120% sure if they’re going to call out a player. A broadcaster has to be impartial and say things like “he may have a history of doing things like this” instead of being direct. Perhaps the in-studio guys can lean into it, but broadcasting in the moment is different.
Maybe SVG really thinks Draymond is doing it on purpose, but can’t say it out loud. Just thought it was an interesting perspective, especially when I think everything Draymond does is intentional.
I get that. I work in motorsports television and sometimes there’s a bad incident where someone may be seriously injured or worse and the people in the broadcast booth can’t say anything until they are either 100% sure or get an official update on the person’s condition. That said, it’s probably better to say nothing and let the images you see on screen speak for itself than to say something that can make yourself look stupid.
Also, what does intent have to do with it? If you elbow someone in the head you elbow them in the head. You can be like “I didn’t deliberately try to assault you, therefore it’s not bad”
The propaganda is fucking insane. They were praising him like crazy last game because he went like 7 quarters without a tech or flagrant foul
I’m a Dubs fan and generally try to give Dray the benefit of the doubt but it’s crazy to pretend he can’t exaggerate contact without hitting dudes in the fuckin face. Trae, SGA etc do it all the time and never “accidentally” throw Nate Diaz type elbows at anyone’s temple
That’s improved over his exaggerated contact = kick to the nuts phase
Idk, I’d rather get kicked in the nuts than elbowed in the temple. One really hurts but I’ll probably be fine, the other really hurts and i might die.
Man, Draymond never deserves the benefit of the doubt. I legitimately don’t know why they allow the guy to remain in the league, he’s always putting his hands on people.
TNT® colleague Draymond Green
SVG is either completely clueless or deliberately ignorant
Last game he said that Wolves fans should love Jimmy and that he doesn’t understand why he wasn’t getting cheered every time he was on the court
Yeah Jimmy only deliberately tried to humiliate every person in our organization on his way out but they made the playoffs with him so that totally makes up for it!
Me every time I recall that beautiful gentleman’s sweep out of the first round seven years ago: 🥵
Man I started vibrating with rage when I heard that. What the fuck do you MEAN you don’t understand why he’s getting booed. You’re the color commentator, it’s your job to understand storylines about each team to provide context to the audience. You could have asked any person in that building (in the state!) about Jimmy and they’d talk your ear off about him. Just unbelievable.
(Thankfully I found a stream of a Korean broadcast and switched to that instead, was a way more enjoyable way to watch such a shit game.)
SMH on that, funny how Green regularly hits, kicks and lands on people when he’s flailing around. He knows what he’s doing and doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.
No no no! This professional athlete with rigorously trained and gifted motor skills must immediately become a flailing, windmilling attack helicopter the second he is fouled. Its only natural that this should happen every game he plays, and specifically involve this one single NBA player - no others have this condition.
Oh and this bumbling NBA Defensive player of the year must accidentally always hit his opponents in the head or neck (or groin). It just has to be this way for someone so equally talented and cursed.
Hey he’s working on his self control. That’s what they told me.
This is the third time IN THIS YEAR’S PLAYOFFS that he’s like “I’m not sure this intentional elbow by Draymond was intentional.“
Dray is fucking unbearable to watch. And his TNT coworkers keep enabling him. Can’t stand this dude’s face
Can’t wait for the supercut of all of his bullshit/dirty plays
He must think Draymond is just the most unlucky player in the history of the league because he’s always treating his bullshit as accidental
Then hounded the refs, got turned around by teammates and went back at the refs again
Literally had to get dragged away by the shirt because he’s such an emotional wreck and people are still defending him
He’s going to do this shit every game.
He’s been doing it for damn near 15 years no reason to stop now
If luka or any of the classic ref complainers did half the shit draymond does the refs would strangle them in the middle of the court lmao
Truly the biggest Draymond stan
This pisses me off more than the foul
year after year, we are stuck with SVG’s awful commentary during the playoffs. when will it end…
Im obviously a warriors and therfore draymond fan. The league needs to come down harder on this stuff. He keeps doing it because he keeps getting away with it to the point it’s still worth it for him.
NATURAL FLAILING MOTION
Natural for him. Literally this same crazy “accidental” flail every time, its so ridiculous
It’s insane how they keep arguing is not intentional. ITS BEEN 10 YEARS OF THE SAME SHIT.
The ball was already out of his hand and tries to pull that shit lol. Absolute clown.
And there is no reason for his elbow to go straight to Naz on that flail.
Well, he does have a reason. Let me correct that and say there is no basketball-related reason to do that.
Go ahead and try that shit on a pick-up court. You’ll be blacklisted so fast and if you do that to the wrong person, they’ll put him on his ass. Shit like this doesn’t fly when you don’t have the refs/league enabling it.
Really just crazy how that naturally happened after Naz sunk a deep three.
Really. No one could have seen it coming. Yuuuuuuuuuup…
“Natural motion” assuming Draymond has the proprioception of a 12 year old playing sports for the first time in his life.
Bro need a shock collar lmao
And then he’s acting like a fucking child afterwards. This dude has problems man
That brother needs help
That brother needs accountability
Genuinely wonder why no one on an nba team has gone after him. Get a bench enforcer if you have to since Dray wants to play dirty. He’s done this in like every game this playoff too lol
(craziest one to me is when he basically head stomped a Houston player and Reggie Miller was screaming about it being accident and how soft the league was)
The league has got to be protecting him. Can’t go against on of the key players in the most popular team of the last decade.
Yep. And steph and kerr. He is their little attack dog and steph bodyguard.
Too many enablers around him. He’ll never change.
The league and refs being the #1 culprit. Ban him from multiple games nonstop and he doesnt do this. He has some weird connection to refs or some hidden secret because who the fuck thinks this guy is even likable enough to be a face of announcing? His voice doesn’t translate to good sound quality and his takes are dogshit. Someone help it make sense.
A face for radio and a voice for silent movies.
The look on Kerr’s face after Draymond yelled at the ref and Curry and Butler had to drag him away was a man that was just tired of it all. Fuck you Steve though, still enabling this child behavior.
Awww is Stevie sad his inability/unwillingness to hold his team accountable has consequences? Fuck Steve Kerr fuck Adam silver get draymond out of the league.
Whoa, watch your tongue! That man has a child! A family!
Right! You can’t talk to a person who has kids like that. He’s a father.
That’s what is really scary. Imagine if he got that angry around his kid
I bet his child is embarrassed of the way he acts
How in the Hell does KIA look at this guy and want him in their commercials and be a face for their cars?
Someone should edit all these with Kia car ads in between
Lol he wants another tech. He has no interest in playing without steph
Yep lol. This is what he does. Without Steph he knows they have no chance so he’s gonna do whatever he can to get kicked out and eventually suspended.
They literally won the first game without Steph, he’s just an asshole and a dirty player lmao
They were up without Steph, and here they were down
Hell, even with our awful shooting in game 1, we kept pace as soon as Steph left
Yep.
What are the examples of this? I can’t remember specifics but I know it’s a thing ha
Rudy chokehold game last year
That’s not the only one either lol
rudy chokehold game
It actually looked like it. Why are you going after the refs like that after throwing an elbow at someone’s head and getting away with a tech instead of a flagrant.
That’s the Pop / Kerr special. Except they do it to fire up the team, not to cuz they’re trying to quit.
Truly. The little bro that will pick fights with big bro behind him at the park, but run away when solo. Soft.
Every day this asshole
It’s not even amusing. He knows how far he can push the envelope on hurting people without a truly catastrophic punishment and regularly goes for it
Why doesn’t the league put a stop to it? It’s so obvious when he does this stuff. Does the NBA just not care?
They don’t
GSW make the league a shit ton of money. Without Daynond they would make them a lot less so here we are
Can’t do anything that would negatively effect Curry/Warriors.
Why the fuck do other players still respect him? It’s insane.
Afterward he went and berated both refs too. Dude needs to retire if he’s so old and ornery.
Every day the league embarrasses itself by letting him do whatever he wants. And have commentators slobber all over him
Don’t they have medicine they’re supposed to take, these assholes?
Man I loved Dray when he was here at MSU. Longest leash in the league by far for the shit he pulls
So disappointing
Yeah. He’s a monumental pile of shit. Sucks as a MSU fan with he and bridges
That “draymond green has retired” tweet from shams in a few years gonna hit like CRACK
[deleted]
should’ve gotten a second tech right after for getting in the refs face like that but of course he’s infamously immune after getting 1 tech
Refs are so soft now a days in the league
Tatum claps in another stadium
Tatum: exists
Refs: First of all, how dare you?
SVG: “I’m not sure there was any intent there whatsoever”
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Look, we all know Naz Reid was trying to foul Draymond with his nose, so Draymond sold the contact.
He said that about another one recently too. He’s an idiot
The only way he can say that is if he’s instructed to downplay every single Draymond foul.
Like, if you stop someone for speeding and they hit you with the “I thought the speed limit was _____” line that’s maybe somewhat believable until you realize they have 12 different speeding tickets in the past few years and a DWI.
It’s bs that he gets techs for what everyone knows is a flagrant
And he comes back in screaming at the official in his face and gets no 2nd tech
Draymond with one tech gets to do whatever the fuck he likes for the rest of the game.
Or if he has 1 Flagrant, they’ll just call a second one as a Tech instead so he doesn’t get ejected.
Or if he gets suspended with one more flagrant he gets a tech. Or if he’s on his last tech he gets a flagrant.
Exactly he acts like a man child. Steph’s my favorite player of all time but it’s tough to root for the warriors at all when Draymond is on that team
Yet Tatum gets ejected for clapping lol
Timmy D has entered the chatv
And then screamed at the refs for 45 seconds and wouldnt leave the court without accumulating anything else.
He’s so fucking coddled by the league it’s insane.
And the coddling makes zero sense, he’s not some superstar that’s fun for neutrals to watch
Shoulda been a flagrant 2, he clearly extends his hand towards his head
And then he continues to antagonize the refs, the players and the fans. No follow up tech though
Why was that not a flagrant?
That’s a flagrant two for everyone else in the league, it’s ridiculous
The way I sped to this sub
He’s pissed tf off rn 😂
He thought curry’s injury was for one day only! He MAD!!!
What a long lease does he has. Barking at the referees and still not ejected. Dude really doesn’t wanna play without leeching on curry haha
this video doesn’t even include the technical.
These announcers are dumb. It was blatantly intentional. Why are they sucking him off
Obviously bad for the product, they cannot be seen criticising it or risk losing their jobs. Weren’t one of the van Gundys quickly replaced for complaining too much about the officiating few years ago? Just sucks to see this clown keep getting away with it.
Reminder for anyone who only recently started watching the NBA: It used to be standard to get at least one replay angle for every foul call, and usually they’d show multiple angles of each call, especially if it was controversial.
They still show some replays nowadays, but way way fewer than they used to. Now they show a replay of the most recent bucket made and say something about that play without even acknowledging the foul beyond saying, “foul on (whoever).”
This bugs me so much. I grew up in the Hot Rod Hundley era and didn’t realize how spoiled I was on the coverage. I watch games now and almost feel dumber for it.
It’s insane the lengths the NBA goes to protect the refs from any criticism.
Someone’s gotta fucking deck this dude. He has serious issues, they’re not gonna go away.
Came here to say this. Hopefully the team pays for the fines of whoever finally does what needs to be done. Remember how he literally ASSAULTED a teammate? Guy could literally be in jail if circumstances were different
Sign Tie Domi to a 10-day next season and get this over with
averaging 1 technical per game
You know, I’m starting to suspect they aren’t actually all just accidents part of his natural shooting motion.
This man is a menace
Ridiculous he didn’t cop a second tech. Crashing out without Curry as per usual
Gobert on Draymond back in 2023: “Every time Steph doesn’t play, he doesn’t want to play without his guy Steph so he does anything he can to get ejected.”
Such a piece of shit
And when he retires he’ll be on some broadcast team and we’ll have to listen to his shitty opinions for another 20-30 years.
Bro never wants to play games without steph lol
He acts the same when Steph is in tbh….
If he gets “fouled” he’s gonna flail and hit you… no matter what. He’s mastered the art of “what?! I was fouled and reacted normally” when he gets touched…
If you defend this piece of shit I genuinely question your intelligence, integrity, humanity, and everything that makes a decent person. He fucking sucks and I wish someone would just fucking dive into his knees and end it. Everyone else is sick of seeing this shit every night.
TNT is also pathetic for hiring this clown
How has no NBA team just gotten a hockey goon type player to elbow the shit out of Draymonds face?
Does Todd Bertuzzi have a jumper? Someone should check
And this fucking donkey gets to scream at refs for a full minute after without anything else
Give him another technical for running his mouth again
Yes 7 techs in play offs and you start at 0 once play offs start.
Accumulation of flagrant fouls yes
7 technicals in the playoffs = 1 game suspension
4 flagrant foul “points” = 1 game suspension
flagrant foul 1 = 1 point flagrant foul 2 = 2 points
flagrant fouls and technical fouls are separate points
Theres a legit shot he gets suspended later in this series
if steph is out for the series (which is looking likely) then I would be shocked if he doesn’t get himself suspended at some point
Fuck Draymond and fuck SVG such a tool. All the mule does is treat the game like a WWE match and then gets to yell at everyone.
He’s throwing a tantrum now too
I really find it hard to understand how Warriors can stay fans of this pos.
Tech when Draymond does it, flagrant when Jokic does. Consistency is key
He’s bitching at the refs and swearing at them afterwards for the call. What an absolute fucking donkey.
How does Green scream “THAT’S FUCKEN BULLSHIT” right in the ref’s face and not get that second tech?
Dirty plays literally every game now and the league just allows it
Yeah I really don’t give a fuck that Dillon Brooks didn’t want to shake this asshole’s hand and you can’t make me either.
lol now he’s yelling at the refs
And he was still jawing. The leash this man has is miles long 😭
Y’all remember that year when Draymond was suspended and saught counciling and came back as though he was a changed man LMAOOOO
why is this T and not flagrant?
If its a flagrant I think he gets suspended next game. League doesnt want to do that.
He’s actually just an awful person man
Kick this clown out of the league already
Only this dude can assault another player and play victim
I can not wait for this dude to never play again
Why is this dude still in the league? If David Stern were still around, Draymond would be working McDonald’s drive-thru right about now.
the flailing, draymond a dumbass per usual
I’m not sure there was any intent??????? WTF are you smoking!
What a psychopath
SVG “I don’t think there was intent”
How many YEARS do you have to watch this guy and not realize that he knows exactly what he’s doing?
