Honestly, could've seen the "forcing the face to the ground" as being incidental.

But the jersey tug, the kick before getting up, and seemingly almost grabbing Eason's leg when he got up...how are none of those Techs?

So dumb. The NBA has lost it's mind with the officiating in the last 2 years. May just turn it off.

Lakers Derangement Syndrome plagues basketball fans and I say that as someone who always roots against the Lakers outside of one series.

I guess I’m the only one that thought that Draymond play looked unintentional

Guys a flagrant foul is not a technical foul. I remember being surprised/confused about it in game a long time ago but that's the way it is.

Tech + flagrant 1 is not an ejection. Two techs is an ejection, or a flagrant 2 in an ejection.

Is that a makeup call for not giving Draymond a tech? What “push”?

If the NBA want to allow the players play physical like the old days, they can’t not allow the players to emotionally react to all the physical plays.

If they called it like that when MJ played the Bad Boys, everyone would’ve been thrown out with technicals and flagrant fouls by half time.

We just had 20 minutes of replays and he comes another challenge. This is the worst kind of game to watch.

It's damn near midnight and we not even at halftime. NBA should be ashamed of this nonsense tonight.

They must think Steph has super soldier serum if he’s able to push Eason that far.
