Stephen Curry is clearly not happy about Draymond Green's Flagrant 2 call and ejection in the Golden State Warriors' Game 1 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he knows he can't do anything about it.
Still, the Warriors sharpshooter couldn't hide his dismay over the call, especially after the NBA decided not to downgrade it. In response to the said move, Curry blurted out a sarcastic “it's shocking” remark.

Curry believes the call was a reputation thing, and while the NBA still deemed it as a Flagrant 2–meaning Green's foul on Brandon Clarke was unnecessary and excessive–his stance on the matter doesn't change.

The Warriors can only move on from the incident, though. They were able to win Game 1 even without Draymond Green at the other half of the contest, so they are going to like their chances of beating the West's no. 2 seed in a seven-game series.
However, Golden State needs to hope that a repeat of the Game 1 ejection won't happen again in the series. They need Dray to anchor their defense, and without him, they are just vulnerable on that side of the ball no matter how lethal their offense is.
The Dubs face the Grizzlies again on Tuesday before heading home and playing Games 3 and 4 following a three-day break.
