I thought you could get a Flagrant 1 + a tech? Know that I've seen it before and see guys stay in.


And.....Called it!

I guess he doesn’t just do it to Euros? I’m surprised he didn’t do a Spinaroonie after that Booker T scissor’s kick

The refs wanted to punish Draymond but didn't want to eject him. A flagrant 1 = no ejection because you need 2 technicals to be ejected.

That really looks like a lack of self-control to me. He already got one tech, just a few minutes ago, in an important playoff game, and he does that? He's lucky they didn't toss him.

Reggie is a frontrunner of epic proportions. I don’t get it.
