Could there be more to the story for Warriors’ Draymond Green?
Secaucus Leak
Take this next point with a grain of salt, as it has not been confirmed nor denied. An apparent member of the technical team that works at the NBA replay center had some interesting tweets after the game.
They were deleted soon after, as he probably wanted to keep his job. You be the judge on the legitimacy of this claim, Warriors fans did some digging and it looks like it could definitely be a reputable source.
This account that says the Replay Center disagreed with the in-game refs (multiple times) might be legit...? 👀 pic.twitter.com/HhD3un4azZ

This man accused the officials of Sunday’s game for not listening to the replay center who said it was a flagrant 1 and that it was a blocking foul on Dillon Brooks. Both times, the crew decided to go against the opinion of the NBA replay center.
This isn’t breaking any sort of rule, but it’s interesting that they don’t take the opinion of the multiple people looking at the play from every angle on HD screens, in comparison to the small monitor they view courtside.
Final Thoughts
In the end, I truly hope this does not come back to bite the Warriors later in the playoffs. Overall, this has been an awful start to the 2022 playoffs for officials.
Just a little over a week ago former NBA official Tim Donaghy who was infamously charged with rigging NBA games spoke out about the playoffs. Donaghy said that officials rig games in favor of the losing team to avoid a sweep. This equals more money and revenue for the NBA.
Now again, take that with a grain of salt as Tim Donaghy is always looking for attention or looking for ways to make it seem he wasn’t the only official rigging games.
