I've made my thoughts on this crap clear before.
Guys who are out there deliberately trying to injure other players don't belong in the league. When it gets to 3rd and 4th instance of this crap I'd banish them. Dellavedova, Beverly, Zaza... if I were running the sport they'd either be banned or facing extremely long suspensions the next team something they did had even a whiff of this nonsense.
I'd like to note, although I cannot stand Draymond Green, his brand of dirty is distinctly different and not something I'd throw a guy out of the league for. A kick to the balls hurts but isn't career threatening, unlike these pieces to trash who go after players knees, ankles, undercutting them in the air, ect.
Draymond got kneed in the nuts last night by Julius Randle. Randle drove in, Draymond was sliding over to take the charge and Randle raised the knee and nailed him. Insult to injury they called the foul on Green, the ref who called it pointed at the floor indicating Green was inside the circle. Green was doubled over on the floor, when he finally got up and realized they'd called the foul on him he threw his hands up and went away. I actually thought the refs called a T on him but they didn't. Kerr was going nuts, the replay clearly showed Green was outside the circle, the irony was I don't think he was set he was still sliding but the ref didn't call that he pointed to the circle. I hate that rule if you're outside the circle they almost always call a charge even if the defender isn't set. So they got it right but for the wrong reason.
Another crazy ref game last night. Randle bulled into Jerebko knocked him back into the circle area, then jumped in again and they called teh foul on jerebko because he was inside the circle. Warriors went nuts, Jerebko got the T. down the other end, Randle and Jerebko were standing in the post doing nothing, off the ball, and the ref called a foul on Randle. He stood there stunned, jerebko walked away laughing clearly agreeing with Randle he hadn't done anything.
There was also a great moment at the half where they spent 5 minutes before the 2nd half started deciding if Davis had 2 or 3 fouls. Why they didn't do that at halftime I don't know. At one point Steve Kerr walked over with the refs and Davis standing there and you could read his lips saying "I think he has 5 fouls" and Davis started laughing and patted Kerr on the shoulder. They ended up saying he had 2 fouls, and during the first dead ball the Warriors tv crew clearly showed that the foul in question was in fact on Davis, not on Frazier. So they delayed the game 5 minutes at the start of the 2nd half, and wound up still giving the foul to the wrong player.
