We can nickname them the "strap-ons", you know, 3 pussies acting like dicks. Or not. Please don't send Sly the $50.
Serious question, as a ref and player, do you think there's a place for the "I'm stopping the basket from occurring and ensuring an and-1 doesn't happen, but I don't really want to hurt the guy" foul? Or is it that dudes Draymond's size can't really make #1 happen without some chance of #2?
I think the guy attempting to stop someone needs to play actual defense. Make a defensive play on the ball. I don't like unnecessary contact. I think the assessment of the types of fouls need to happen across the board. IMHO lots of flagrant 1 calls could simply be called intentional fouls and then there would be a line of demarcation between the terms flagrant and intentional.

I don't have an answer to your question, but in this instance Green clearly intended to send a message with a hard foul. The Warriors lying and crying about it was pathetic.
