Draymond Green, who already picked up an earlier technical foul, had a mini altercation with Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown toward the end of the second quarter that went unpenalized. Two technicals are an automatic ejection. Celtics forward Grant Williams, who is a vice president of the National Basketball Players Association, spoke to Yahoo Sports about the minor controversy. – via Chris Haynes @ Yahoo!

“By the rules, a tech is a tech regardless of the situation. But as players, all we want to see is consistency,” Williams told Yahoo Sports after practice Tuesday. “When the refs decided not to give Dray a second tech, we expected it and we moved on. We didn’t harp on it. We just hope that grace is extended for everyone.” – via Chris Haynes @ Yahoo!

“If the refs are taking into consideration that a player — a key player — already has a technical and then they decide for whatever reason that a similar incident doesn’t warrant a second technical, that’s fine as long as there is consistency. The problem is there is no consistency,” Williams told Yahoo Sports. “As players, we just want to know how the game is going to be officiated and then we’ll adjust. I personally believe you have to understand the magnitude of the game and how an ejection can impact the game. No one wants to see the game impacted by an ejection. But either all techs are the same or you consider the situation when [contemplating] a second tech. We just want the rules to be enforced straight forward and consistently.” – via Chris Haynes @ Yahoo!

Draymond Green: Draymond Green on his intensity and physicality: “I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if we lost the nba finals because we couldn’t meet force with force … that is my department. That’s where I’m supposed to lead, and I cannot let my guys down.” – via Twitter kendra__andrews Draymond Green, Golden State Warriors
What a total prick...like Lebron and Giannis but he actually admits it...

Clown show...maybe it will stop when someone gets seriously hurt and their career is ruined!...it is like allowing folks to drive cars like maniacs until someone is dead, and then they install stoplights and signs...or like Pete Rose sliding into home and ending the catcher's career in an all-star game...which is why he is not in the hall of fame btw, not because of 'gambling'...

“He’s just missing shots,” Jaylen Brown said of Klay Thompson. “That player, he can get it going at any moment. We’re aware of that. We trying to prepare ourselves to make sure that doesn’t happen. But we’ve got to do a better job, to be honest. Not doing a good enough job on Klay Thompson.” – via Anthony Slater @ The Athletic Jaylen Brown, Klay Thompson, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors

This was pretty egregious to be called a block on Grant:
Even Van Gundy (no friend of the C's) called it an OF (moving screen) but it was a block on Grant ... LOL
This isn't a reach in with hands all over the ball handler? Enlarge the video for a closer look at the action ...
Green also molested Al for a steal and got a jump ball then later jumped on Al's back while he was posting up Klay on the low post ... got into a tussle with Tatum and had words and no doubt more with Smart all night.
The Warriors got away with murder and that's fine as long as we get that same advantage in Boston.

The refs know...to make the Celtics lose just don't call strips.

I'll say again it's not about home court imo, it's just series manipulation. Whoever loses game 3 will get the calls in 4. Regardless which team it is.

I hate to start agreeing with the conspiracy nuts out there, but I'm starting to come around. It's all about the money and extending the series. I would trade losing GWill tonight if it took loudmouth Green out of the game as well. They are soft without him.....physically (Curry is very tough mentally!!)

This whole draymond thing has shown how hypocrite kerr is. When our guys are physical with his guys, he calls it, "Not a basketball play" but when any of his players do something, he zips it. Refs extending the series is not a conspiracy theory, is pretty darn obvious. Happened in the previous series. But, how will they call it tonight if the series is even?

Celtics will come out and try to do Draymond things and get called for many fouls and techs, While Green and the Warriors laugh would be my bet at how things get called this game.
The "hope" would be the refs call the game how it should be and Green fouls out in the first quarter, but we all know that isn't happening.
Tell Theis to go throw an elbow to Greens mouth early, get in a full fist fight with Green and both players get suspended for the rest of the series.

Like I said I've been generally not thinking the refs are cheating.
Maybe the refs were also shocked by Dre and were intimidated. Do you think the double tech should have been called?
The league should require the refs to explain exactly why a double technical was not called.... and if they resist or if their explanation doesn't pass muster, send the refs packing.
The feds are killing off seesaws now By Kyle Smith

The decline in playground seesaws due to safety concerns
From Watergate to whinegate: The Washington So long, seesaws. You’ve had your ups and downs over the years, but today you’re not only down, you’re out. Like smoking, chainsaw-juggling and dodgeball, you became too much of a public-health menace to be tolerated.
The federal government is knocking seesaws out of existence, according to the New York Times. That’s right, the same people who keep warning us about the childhood obesity epidemic that just happened to come along when childhood “play” was redefined from “running around madly” to “pressing sideways-pointing triangle on screen” are now removing one more piece of movement-based equipment from kids’ lives.
Apparently the government has something called “federal safety guidelines for playgrounds.” Because your local parks department and city, county and state governments can’t be trusted to handle the pressing question of how to set up a playground. Ever since the guidelines were established in 1981, they have become more and more stringent, and the worryingly thick 2015 edition (more than 50 pages) has so many scary diagrams, definitions and fun-extinguishing mandatory buzzkill rules (“The maximum attainable angle between a line connecting the seats and the horizontal is 25°”) that the seesaws (“also known as teeter-totters,” the federales gravely inform us) are simply being phased out.
Seesaws provide critical developmental aid, they help build muscles, they’re fun, they’re not particularly dangerous, and they’ve been in playgrounds for as long as siblings have been making faces at each other. Despite the Playground Police State policies, it makes little sense to phase out seesaws: Only 2 percent of emergency-room visits related to playground mishaps resulted from contact with seesaws, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Monkey bars, swings and slides were the three playground items associated with the most injuries. Moreover, those teeter-totters provide a surprising benefit to developing kiddies. “By rapidly moving the child through vertical space,” physical therapist Lauren Drobnjak, co-author of the book “Sensory Processing 101,” told the New York Times, seesaws help beef up a tot’s sense of balance “in a way that no other playground equipment can.” Plus, the act of pushing yourself up from the ground helps with strength and coordination. “A seemingly simple plaything actually provides so many important sensory experiences for kids,” she told the Times.
So seesaws provide critical developmental aid, they help build muscles, they’re fun, they’re not particularly dangerous, and they’ve been in playgrounds for as long as siblings have been making faces at each other. And they’re being taken out anyway.
Hey, but no big deal. Maybe they’ll develop a seesaw app for your iPad someday.
But here’s what worries me: trees. Maybe it’s time to phase them out too. Kids might climb on them.
Like I said I've been generally not thinking the refs are cheating.
Maybe the refs were also shocked by Dre and were intimidated. Do you think the double tech should have been called?
The league should require the refs to explain exactly why a double technical was not called.... and if they resist or if their explanation doesn't pass muster, send the refs packing.

🤦 haaaa and then you call me a loser. What kind of solution is this? You must be really naive. As if we needed any more insignificant reports. Geez
