Draymond Green Tackles Marcus Smart

[Thread]

Man the more I see these clips the more I want someone to knock Draymond Green out

Can't handle your own wet work, eh.

That can actually pass for "incidental contact" b/c Smart basically run into him, this is nothing compared to the arm bar on Amir.

Except that Green used his lowered his shoulder to f'ing flip him. That was a football play, not a basketball play; and frankly, even the NFL is cracking down hardcore on sh** like that.

That was not a tackle. it was a chop block and would have been illegal in the NFL as well as the NBA.

The announcers were saying Gaymond got all ball and just ripped it away

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?

Has nothing to do with being psychic. It has everything to do with actually watching the video. Ref didn't miss seeing anything but very obviously heard Walton yelling at him to call a foul. Or are you even denying that Walton stood up and yelled for a foul?

I guess you're right.

Pretty sure I'm 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.

Makes total sense. I guess when someone yells at you it's not distracting at all. Rofl crowd noise. Are you saying the ref didn't hear Luke Walton yell at him? Is this really your position?

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!

That stick is way up there huh? You think I'm a GS apologist or something? Ref missed the call. Walton yelled at him to call the first foul and he didn't call Raymond for the offensive foul. Why are you so butthurt?

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.

Actually I had to go to work. I don't spend hours trying to think of a response to a person who very obviously has a stick lodged up their ass.

HE FLIPPED HIM OVER!!!!! how could that possibly pass for incidental contact?

Now that I look at it, that's a moving screen as well. The defender has the right to tail his guy unimpeded by another attacker moving into his path. The undercut is just what makes it a flagrant 2 basically. But yea, no ing call.

The sweeter thing was that got missing a 3

The sweetest was Barnes not passing it to him for the open 3 and trying to go mega Michael Jordan while airballing it

That too

Unbelievable the this team gets away with

I watched it over and over and don't think he had time. Curry just missed a wide open look, had his opportunity.

If I'm them, I'm thinking championship and I put all this other behind me but you cannot catch every record all the time and still be sharp for the brass ring.

I went back to the NBA's last two minute referee review. Since March 1st in games that they post (5 point spread or less at the 2 minute mark) the NBA front office says there have been 14 incorrect calls in Warriors games of this nature. 11 of the 14 were incorrectly called in the game to the Warriors favor. Interestingly, of the 11 where the Warrior player got away with something according to the league Green was the culprit on 7 of those. Unfortunately, Warriors cut the lead in the Celtics game to 4 with 1:56 to go so it was not at 5 points or less with 2 minutes to go and therefore wasn't released.

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.

They only review the last 2 minutes if the game was 5 or closer at the 2 minute mark or if it goes to overtime. At the 2 minute mark Boston was up by 7. Thompson hit a 3 with 1:56 left to bring it to 4. Seems pretty stupid. At team up by 5 w/ 2 minutes can easily end up winning by 10. It should be if the score gets within 2 possessions in the last 2 minutes of the game.

Thanks for the info.

I agree with you, that's pretty stupid.

If the league wanted to go full transparency, it would give us the officiating reports for the each game for the entire game, but I suspect that there are a number of reasons they don't want to do that, and mostly those reports in a lot of games would be disregarded by most fans. It would be interesting, though, to see how the league views the correctness/incorrectness of still more calls.

At times, too, the L2M report criteria mean that games (like BOS @ GST) just miss being within the criteria and don't get reported, which is unfortunate.
