Draymond's mom rips refs for controversial Game 1 ejection originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
Mary Babers-Green spoke for all Warriors fans after her son Draymond Green was ejected from Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies.
I still can’t believe that CALL on @Money23Green! Trying to do the right thing! If that was blatant his face would have hit the floor! #REFSSUCK

The Warriors' star was assessed a Flagrant 2 for inadvertently pulling down Grizzlies big man Brandon Clarke late in the second quarter on Sunday at FedExForum.
While most watching thought Green was deserving of a Flagrant 1, crew chief Kane Fitzgerald and the other officials spoke to the replay review center and felt otherwise. According to the ruling, Green also made contact with Clarke's face before pulling him down, resulting in the ejection.

Green's NBA peers were incredulous after he was given a Flagrant 2 and it's a safe bet that the Warriors' star himself will have something to say after Game 1 concludes.
