Lot of controversy on this play. Who is to blame?

Full clip:

Thompson.

A legit question? Of course, AT is to blame here.

Easily Green. Wreckless shove.. Draymond always plays like this, and now it cost him dearly.

I think Steve Adams was for shoving Amen into making that accidental contact with Jimmy

Just bad luck. Everyone involved doing what they're supposed to.

at first i thought it was dray but dray was actually to the side trying to block thompson out with his arm

thompson was trying the break through dray's hold

IT LOOKS LIKE thompson trips on dray's right heel. thompson wasn't pushed from behind. he fell like he got chopped unintentionally - there's a brief shot of dray right foot moving from contact

Just gonna quote myself from the game thread with the streamable link

Draymond lifts his leg up and sticks it out to trip Thompson as soon as he lands from contesting the shot causing Amen to stumble forward. It is 100% Draymond's fault.

Somewhere between complete accident and Amen should have controlled himself better — I’m just not sure he even saw Jimmy until it was too late.
I don’t get why people are blaming Draymond though and I hate Draymond.

I'm not sure what the hell Thompson is supposed to do there. That isn't the fault of anyone.

how could this be Draymond Green? he was blocking off Thompson as defender...come on people some common sense..
Adam came down and pushed Thompson forward

Looks like Adams hip pushes Thompson over Draymonds extended leg right as Butler jumps.

Seems like just a crazy set of circumstances.

Ok I see the Draymond “trip” now in that second angle.
I don’t know wth SVG was talking about saying Dray shoved him though.
I also don’t really think that was much on Dray and didn’t really look dirty to me, and again, I can’t stand Dray.
Think was just the combination of an accidental trip and an accidental shove by his teammate just led to an unfortunate injury.

Green trips him. Can't tell if Amen used it to further stumble under

so you are saying one of the best defender of all time Draymond Green not blocking off his man and instead pushing him forward? serious man...thats embarrassing to suggest this nonsense.. its clearly Adam, look at his left arm and hip his big body shuffled Amen forward

Just watch the clip I posted. Dray almost Zaza'ed Thompson, but his leg landed in front of him. He got sandwiched by Adams and Draymond yanked him forward.

This was a classic bang-bang play but Draymond is also being Draymond. He definitely had a hand in Thompson being lurched forward.

No one's. Basketball play that happens a million times a game. Just wrong place wrong time.

Freak play. Hopefully, a few days off will help Butler shake it off.

thinking about how to play basketball man...Draymond is a dirty player but his defense instinct does not go away, he was clearly trying to block off the offensive player.
