Everyone bemused by bizarre Draymond technical call
You can bet one of the talking points the next time the media has time with NBA commissioner Adam Silver will be about officiating. A flat-out debacle during the third quarter of Friday's Game 4 featured refs calling what was supposed to be Draymond Green's second technical foul of the game - an automatic ejection.
Only then however, did the crew say Green's first-half penalty actually belonged to Steve Kerr - despite the official game report indicating otherwise.

Twitter went nuts, and it wasn't just Green's mother's tweet.
