NBA Fans Couldn’t Believe Dennis Schroder Didn’t Get Ejected For His Dirty Move on Draymond Green /

Draymond Green knows all about people calling for ejections for things he’s done on the court. During Thursday night’s Game 2 of the Lakers-Warriors series, however, he was on the other side of one of those questionable moments and fans couldn’t believe a Lakers player didn’t receive a stiffer punishment for what he did to the Warriors star. 

In case you missed it, Lakers guard Dennis Schröder grabbed at Green’s knee while trying to round a screen. The move sent Green to the floor and led to words between the two players. 

The refs reviewed the play and ended up issuing just a common foul on Schröder, which seemed to be a really light punishment when you look at the play:
