To add on to this: Context matters.
@HomeRunBaker is arguing that the double T shouldn’t be called because of context. Can’t toss a guy because of something seemingly less egregious than the shit he got the first T for. I understand and appreciate the point, and for the most part, agree with it.
But to not call the T is ignoring context, too. Draymond had been getting into it with multiple players all game long. The refs had to have seen the multiple cases of “straddle-stand over a player on the floor.” He had been barking shit at them all game long. They undoubtedly heard Draymond say some pretty unsavory shit to the Celtics players, too.
Plus, don’t the refs talk to one another at half? Discuss what they’ve seen? Maybe get a call from New York/the league? Pretty good chance that when the second half started, they were fully briefed about all the stupid shit Draymond had been pulling, including them having made the wrong call on the Grant tackle.
So when Green backed into Brown’s legs on the three (total bush league move — again, I’d argue that he did that intentionally, with his back to Brown to give him plausible deniability), and then has his feet on Brown afterwards, CONTEXT MATTERS. He’s been an asshole all game long. He’s stood over guys. He’s been talking shit to players and refs. Never mind all the garden variety hard fouls all over the place.
In isolation, yes, Draymond shouldn’t get tossed in a double tech situation, which, as has been pointed out, is about keeping the game from getting out of hand. But in context, Green was clearly trying to instigate yet another confrontation with a Celtics player. He sees himself as a savvy provocateur, when really, he’s an antagonistic jackass who should be held to account far more than he is.
The refs should be forced to re-watch the entire game and keep a running log of all the shit Draymond did so that they can see just how badly they did their jobs. Sure, they didn’t want to toss a guy because he held his feet on Brown’s body for a second too long. But they really need to ask themselves: what WOULD get Draymond tossed? If the answer is “nothing short of shoving a guy to the ground and dangling his nuts in their face,” well, Green had already done that. Which is big part of the reason why Brown shoved Green’s leg out of the way.
Edit: Cleaned up a bit, added a little at the end.
