"Don't seem to be the sharpest people around".
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (23) yells at referee John Goble during the first half against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of basketball's NBA Finals in Cleveland, Friday, June 9, 2017.
That's a great line and Green had reasons to be testy with Clevelanders.
The play created an very bad lot of confusion, even for the ABC broadcast crew, who was clueless about what really went on, not even bothering to call their own refereeing expert Steve Javie to comment on the matter.
Lue said he thought Green had two techs, but that "evidently" that's not what happened, as a small smile crept over his face.
While the officiating was often one-sided in the Cavaliers favour, the Warriors did get their share of beneficial questionable calls.
Green was suspended for Game 5 of the NBA Finals previous year. Golden State is still in control of the NBA Finals up 3-1 with the series shifting to the Bay area.

It came during the last runs of Q1 as Pascal Wehrlein pushed beyond the limit on the entry to Turn 1. "Now the race is tomorrow". Felipe Massa was seventh for Williams , while Force India duo Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon were eighth and ninth respectively.
There were several controversial decisions, including an incident where Draymond Green was thought to be ejected, then actually wasn't.
Now headed back to Oracle Arena for Game 5, Green should be motivated to close out the Cavaliers as he hopes to avoid another face-to-face meeting with Cleveland fans next Thursday.
Green, as you'd suspect, was unapologetic.
A video that was captured in the stands shows a confrontation between Draymond Green's mother Mary Babers-Green and Cleveland fans post-game. "At least if I'm going to get them, I think I should like, let me earn them. But they explained that the first one was on me". If you're coming to the game and chanting my name, that means they're at home thinking about me. "So shout out to them for the love".
Draymond Green was suspended for Game 5, Steph Curry wasn't healthy throughout the playoffs, and the team was mentally and physically tired after chasing the regular-season record.
Green's mom later said apologies had been exchanged, but still, it might be a good thing that the series is returning to Oakland. "I'm sure that's just the world we live in".
So, which one wasn't a technical on Green?
