Here is a video with a second angle: https://streamable.com/frg4
You can clearly see Green planting his knee in the path of Smart there. I'm looking forward to see the Last Two Minute Report on this one.
And, no, that has nothing to do with whether it is incidental. The play was for Green to come across and set a (moving) pick for Klay. But Turner slips and slides into his legs. While not intentional, that contact COULD have been called against Turner. Just because it's not intentional, doesn't mean it's "incidental contact" per the rules.
Green hits the floor and KNOWS that his screen is necessary to get Klay the shot they want, so he very clearly gets up to make the pick he was supposed to make in the first place. He moves directly into Smart - he didn't just make incidental contact as he was trying to do something else on the floor. He's making the pick that the play called for.
From the NBA rulebook: "A screen or pick is when an offensive player gets to a legal position on the court in the path of a defender for the purpose of slowing down the defender or making him change direction."... "You cannot just jump in front of a player at the last second."
If Green had kept his feet, he still would likely have made an illegal screen that just wouldn't have gotten called. Because that's what they do. But because he was taken out of the play, he has to get up off the floor and make his contact with Smart, and he can't be as subtle. If you look really closely, he's up off the floor and his feet are inside the 3P line. Then he steps with his right foot to get in front of Smart, and he is well outside the circle. Nothing about that is incidental contact.

Man did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something? Walton is still talking to the ref when the second contact happens. The ref is pretty clearly responding to someone/something on the Warriors bench. I would sure as hope he wouldn't turn to face someone yelling at him. His response is to Walton or possibly someone else on the Warriors bench as it comes right after Walton gets up and begins yelling/gesturing. I'm sorry if perception isn't your strong suit.
So you're right in one sense. The non-call on contact #2 isn't a makeup. The ref probably was distracted by Walton.
Well I don't have the luxury of being a ing psychic, like you. So you're saying that the ref is so distracted by Luke Walton, who is behind and 10 feet away from him, yelling in the middle of all the crowd noise? That's why he missed a call on the floor?
I guess you're right. There's so much that normal human perception doesn't register. The NBA should issue the refs some ing ear-plugs, so they can block out Luke Walton.
Come to think of it... that must be why Golden State gets by with so many moving screens. That ing Luke Walton is distracting all the refs. And there's no way for non-psychics to detect it. It's brilliant!
Crickets. Shasta is burning up brain cells trying to come up with a witty riposte, but can't figure out a way to explain how Luke Walton's voice in a crowd could distract an NBA ref to the point of missing a call.
Notice how Curry also falls for no reason as he releases that three
I would have gone crazy if he got that call.
I actually think the woman in white is wondering how can Marcus Smart just run into poor Draymond. That's why the palms up, shake your head, no call by the official. That was an illegal screen that wasn't called. A foul is a foul, whether it happens at the beginning or the last few seconds of the game. Most officials just don't have the balls to call it, especially against the home team. The official took the position that a lot of them take at the end of close games, "swallow my whistle, let the players decide the game".
The sweeter thing was that got missing a 3
Doesn't the league still do a review/report on calls in the last two minutes of games? It would be interesting to see how they view this game.
I thought first it was incidental contact, but watching the closeup, that was an illegal screen.
At the very least
The refs tried so ing hard to give the Warriors the win, tbh. It was beautiful when their best efforts weren't enough...
WTF Green bowls 2 Celtics over NFL style and doesn't get called? Curry flopping on the 3 attempt to? ers!
Wish he would attempt that against David West tbh
Lmao that wasn't a tackle. Why are spursfans acting so emo?
It was on accident. Dude was falling down as is.
Flagrant.
Un ingbelivable. Warriors this year
The humble Draymond Green

The commentators actually say something like, 'Green throws Johnston to the ground.'
You're right, it was a pro wrestling move called the "back body drop". Doesn't make it any better though.
As for why they're "acting emo", I would assume because they don't feel like watching another ref-assisted Lakers or Thunder-esque playoff series?
yeah, that was one
Man the more I see these clips the more I want someone to knock Draymond Green out
This needs to happen to Draymond.
or this
MWP should've taken him out when he had the chance tbh
