How the **** does Reggie Miller not know that a tech + flagrant 1 != ejection?

Surprised the announcers can't figure out the refs found a way to give Green another warning without kicking him out.
Only 7 Players in NBA history have 21,000 points, 5,750 assists and 5,750 rebounds. LeBron has double those numbers.

In what world does it make sense for Green to get a Flagrant and Eason getting a Technical? this is complete horse puckey

So…Reggie is actually arguing that the officials should take Dremond’s already having a tech into account. Now I’ll be honest, Green’s prior tech was imo a bad call, but it moves the series calls/non-calls on him to minus 27, so I’m not crying for him. Imo the leg whip to the back of Easton’s head looked deliberate, but even without that grabbing the jersey and then trying to grab his leg was clearly Dremond trying to cause ****.

Why is he still in the game?

Ron Artest eventually sought help but Draymond has been enabled by everyone around him to do this sh#%

This guy will NEVER change. He swears he isn't to blame for anything ever. We saw him make himself the victim for SUCKER PUNCHING HIS TEAM MATE IN PRACTICE. He made a god damn mini-documentary about it!


people always say this. So and so can't help themselves and it is always BS. Take Ron Artest. Ron Artest the guy who can't help himself choose not to fight Ben Wallace because he knew he would lose instead he picked fights with guys like Harden and fans.

Draymond punches out guys like Poole not 7 fters. He 100% can control himself.

werent you saying TMac was the greatest 1:1 player all time? :lol:


T-Mac is the goat. Are you saying Sengun is better? T-Mac washes Senguns bum ass.

Orlando T-Mac in the modern NBA would be a perennial MVP candidate.


WTF is that supposed to mean? It sure doesnt sound too flattering for T-Mac having to wash bum asses

Get rid of the challenges. Get rid of the reviews. This isn't bringing anything to the game.

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!


Weird, I could have sworn a flagrant + tech was an ejection. What a joke.
