Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Draymond Green was called for a technical foul for complaining about a call.
Green was trying to defend Anthony Davis late in the third quarter of Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals playoff series between his Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. Green fought through a screen and grabbed Davis, so he was called for a foul.
Green was upset because he felt he was the victim of an illegal screen.

Green then mocked official Ed Malloy after being called for the tech.

Green has a tendency to pick up fouls and technical fouls, so he’s already off to a racing start in the series with the Lakers. Players are allowed to be called for seven technical fouls in the playoffs before a suspension is triggered. Green already was suspended during the first round for his actions against Domantas Sabonis.
