After further review, we found out Draymond Green fouled Mitchel in 2019, so we’re kicking him out of the game
Refs in their bag with this one. Didn’t know you could get a retroactive tech off another dude’s foul.
I hate Draymond’s constant antics, but I thought you can only review the play being challenged
He deserves it on karma alone, but still…
Donovan Mitchell: Master baiter
damn he got VAR’d
Wow, NOW they can review a previous play? Lol.
That’s a shit call. I mean dray deserved the T but not that late call. Like wtf.
What the fuck, feel like this sets a really bad precedent?
Now you can retaliate for free
The refs are betting on these games. Someone please investigate
Daaaaaaaaamn. That’s some wild shit. They missed that ish in the moment…take the L refs.
Draymond is lucky he wasn’t ejected a minute earlier for screaming JA’s face
So basically the refs are saying “go ahead and retaliate if you think you’ve been wronged”
no way could this backfire
Draymond was stupid af for his antics but you can’t call something like that retroactively wtf
Deserved but Mitchell should’ve gotten a tech ir flagrant
Honestly I thought that would have been a tech for both Draymond and Mitchell
I get that he absolutely should’ve been ejected by then, but this sets a really dangerous precedent if we can retroactively assign techs to previous plays during the game. Ends don’t always justify the means.
Probly shoulda been a double tech honestly
I don’t understand how this was a technical and not a flagrant. I mean I don’t think it should have been anything other than a foul, he was clearly trying to box him out. Could someone explain how this is a technical and not a fragrant?
This might be worse than Giannis’s ejection the other day.
Horrible for the NBA
Draymond is a bitch but the refs are on some bullshit right there
Okay but how are you going to call draymond for the tech, but let mitchell off with a common foul… like its textbook retaliation by their own admission considering they gave draymond a tech for it lmao
So Mitchell shoves Draymond unnecessarily and then gets a free review out of it and no tech AND GETS HIM EJECTED??????????
Please review the Niang flop from earlier.
I get it bc it’s dray, but wtf? Starting a dangerous precedent here…
This is so weird to me…you can trade a common foul to force a review to greater penalize the player you purposely fouled?
Refs not suck challenge: Impossible
Lmao
Refs time traveling to call fouls now
I’m fine with the tech on Dray but there should have been a flagrant/tech the other way too.
While I can see that Draymond deserved it, Mitchell’s foul should’ve been a flagrant 1 imo. There’s nothing necessary about that contact, he just fouled Draymond because he’s pissed.
Ignoring the “reviewing the play before the play you’re reviewing” part: can someone explain how Draymond’s push in live action play is a T? And not a common foul, or if bad enough a flagrant?
This is gonna be considered okay by reddit but when it hits giannis Lebron or Jokic it’s 9/11
I’ve never seen that. If it was intentional by Donovan, then that’s so BigBrain
Also, Draymond pls…
This could lead to enforcers coming to basketball like in hockey.
Thought this is Jordan Poole at first
dude i hate Dray too but like Mitchell also not getting a tech is wild considering retaliation hass been a T 99% of the time
that makes no sense – double t for retaliation
Damn even jordan Poole chiming in
These refs have been absolutely terrible. Ben Taylor and JT Orr, yo.
need the full clip with draymond’s shove to judge accurately. I get why it seemed like they didnt call a tech on mitchell tho – the shove was during live play so it would either be a foul or a flagrant and it clearly wasn’t severe enough to be a flagrant. Tho, he seemed kind of demonstrative during the conversations but maybe that didn’t warrant a tech. Not sure what the precedent is for reviewing previous plays for techs but i guess that’s not necessarily a bad thing as long as they aren’t just doing it for this game and doing it universally (have rarely seen something like this…)
I initially read this thinking it was Jordan Poole, and it was way more hilarious
I’d love all the people who claim the league favours draymond to explain this lmao 😜
Terrible officiating
Its definitely a bad call, but there’s nothing better than watching Draymond’s sorry ass get shown up. Good for Mitchell. Draymond continues to let his emotions get the best of him time and time again. Imagine giving that dude 100 mil with how old he is 🤣🤣🤣
Two wrongs do make one right.
Mitchell is so clever on this. He fouled him as fast as he could, explained why and got Draymond ejected. That’s sweet justice. I don’t get why people get offended by this. It’s beautiful karma.
