Do you think there

[Kblaze8855]

He’s one tech away. You know he knows it. You know the refs know it.

Do you think that either:

A. He’s out of control enough to blow up and give them an excuse to do it.

B. A ref has the balls to T him up knowing he’s gonna be accused of a fix for all time if the warriors force a game 7 and lose.

C. Both can and will happen.

I think he could have a momentary lapse and a ref knows the consequences and let’s him live which is kinda still influencing the series....but it wouldn’t be seen that way.

I feel like the tech limit may need to go up in the playoffs. 7 in potentially 28 games isn’t so bad.

[superduper]

Dray has been suspended in the finals before without any fix claims by any media outlets or from the masses of the fans.

I think it would be okay in that regard.

[Charlie Sheen]

I wouldn't cry fix if it happened. He's screaming in the face of an official just about every game this postseason. They've been fair to him even if the one that gets him suspended isn't egregious.

[Hey Yo]

He should have been suspended for last nights game considering all the screaming and bitching his been doing right in the refs face the first 4 games.

[Shogon]

Statistically on a per playoff game basis it’s improbable to happen because he’s got 6 through however many playoff games they have played so back to back is unlikely...

But...

It’s Draymond if it’s a tight game with his season on the line, I’d say there’s a better than coin flipping chance that he loses his shit over the refs.

I’m going with... he gets a tech, Warriors lose, and he’s suspended at the beginning of the 2020 season.

[Overdrive]

That guy's not smart about his antics, I wouldn't be surprised.

[DCL]

you would assume that he has lost enough sleep in 2016 to not do that shit again.

[ImKobe]

He got T'ed up last night for being mad at a ref making a bad call on Lowry I believe, replay showed he was right. Would be weird if the Warriors forced a Game 7, only to lose arguably their 2nd most valuable player. I don't think the NBA cares for Canada as much as they did for Lebron. Remember that Dray was suspended retroactively and the Cavs were demanding two games.

[DaHeezy]

The refs are ISH to Draymond. They're pretty much egging Dray into a suspension

[egokiller]

Those refs were shit. They should be getting yelled at by more than just Dray but he's the only one with balls big enough to say anything. Even Kerr sat on the bench all quiet like the yes man that he is. If he get's suspended, it doesn't really matter. Everyone is saying this is an asterisks ring anyway you slice it.

[DMAVS41]

Of course there is a chance, but I'm assuming the refs would let a ton go before it came to that.

[Mr Feeny]

I've lost count of the number of techs he should have gotten in these finals and still doesnt. What fix? He's an embecile staring daggers into, and yelling at, officials. If he gets one, I doubt it will not have been earned.

[jlip]

From last night:


I think the refs knew that that was Draymond's sixth technical. They could have easily given him another one and had him ejected and suspended because he kept throwing his tantrum after the tech was given. I think they exercised restraint this time.

[Miles and Miles]

He should have a tech every time he steps into a refs space and yells at him. He should have like 20 by now. If anyone else did that they would have them but the refs have just learned to put up with his tantrums.

[superduper]

He should have a tech every time he steps into a refs space and yells at him. He should have like 20 by now. If anyone else did that they would have them but the refs have just learned to put up with his tantrums.

They haven't been taking his shit the last couple of games and have been doing exactly that. As soon as he starts mouthing off in a ref's space they throw him the tech. It's actually quite refreshing to see.

It's also a shame that Draymond has lost his control the last couple of games given that he has been able to control himself so well the entire playoffs. I was actually quite impressed with him in this regard up until the last couple of games.

[Sakkreth]

The way he's acting he should have been thrown out every game in the finals so far. Clown with no self control.

[tpols]

Its hard when you're playing a team of floppers who fall to the floor on every drive...

Lowry is the worst..he's seriously a Chris Paul clone.

They only give him one. He has deserved several techs in the past few games. You are right though he WAS controlling himself early in the playoffs but that has passed.

[stalkerforlife]

He seems to have an uncontrollable mouth, so possibly.

If the NBA made him miss another finals game, it'd be a joke and solidify the fixing theory, though.

No one should get suspended over technical fouls.

Dray is Dray because of his passion.

If I'm not wrong they gave him one in game 4 as well.

Steph plays for GS, not Toronto.

[HoopologyPhD]

As much as Silver would love for this and every series to go 7, the NBA cares about its reputation concurrently with the grab for maximum profit. This series is pretty boring and ugly despite being the most competitive in years, the Ws w/out Klay and Durant were one of the worst Finals squads I have ever seen.

Craptors in 6*

[Miles and Miles]

If I'm not wrong they gave him one in game 4 as well.

Sorry I meant ONE PER GAME. They are afraid to give him that second even when he clearly deserves it.

[talkingconch]

the warriors will lose if this happens. and he is dumb for getting these many techs.

Literally the Raptors have everything going there way lmfao

He just needs to get through game 6 without any techs. No one cares if he gets it in game 7, the suspension will just be next season

[Overdrive]

If I'm the Raps I bring my 12th man and provoke the tech.

[Replay32]

IMO. There's no way he gets a tech and miss game 7. He'll whine and complain showing the refs up as usual. The refs won't do jack. I also expect the refs to favor GS heavily.

[Kblaze8855]

This is why you need a Danny Fortson goon or better yet....a dennis rodman. Dennis was the master of the double tech when you already have one and he can get you ejected:

There are no trolls within 40% of Dennis Rodmans ability anywhere in American pro sports right now.

Talib constantly snatching Crabtrees chain mid game was pretty good though.

[NBAGOAT]

i saw it today. Shannon Sharpe reciting Derrick Thomas' gf's number to him is GOAT lvl.

I've said it on here. Lowry is the untalented, fat version of CP3 with all his negatives. He just annoys the shit out of you watching him.

[Sakkreth]

No one should get suspended over technical fouls.

Dray is Dray because of his passion.

Dray is Dray also because he's mouth beathing moron.

That's because if you come close to 40% of Rodman's ability you'll get a tech/ejected. League is soft AF.

Draymond's tech last night should be rescinded. He walked away from the refs and it shouldn't have been a foul in the first place.


And remember: the suspension in the finals of 2016 wasn't due to a tech; Adam Silver decided to suspend him even though he was stepped on and nothing was called on the court. It was a suspension AFTER the game was already over. Stephen A Smith spot on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Nqc_o6A5I

[Cleverness]

Agreed 100%

Even Kawhi has turned into a flopper. They both use the head-snap-back move that CP3 uses while screaming.

Kawhi will bulldoze right into defenders, snap his head back... and scream.

Pathetic.

[nashwade]

wow we talking about lowry flopping on his drive to the hole?

how about every damn Curry 3 ends up in a fall when someone touches his arm? thats straight up weak ass shit. and i don't even like lowry that much.
