Andre Drummond grabbed 17 offensive rebounds against the Warriors.

Or so we thought.

The NBA stripped Drummond of two of those boards.

Drummond, via Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press:

"“(Bleep) that,” the young center said to laughter."

"One reporter offered a bright side: The NBA took away two shot attempts from his 11-for-25 night from the field, so his shooting percentage improved. Drummond’s response was priceless. “That (bleep) ain’t cool, man,” a smiling Drummond said as he shook his head."

But was the NBA right?

Drummond was originally credited with two offensive rebounds here:

And three here:

I definitely see only one controlled tip on the first play.

The second play is a little more unclear, but I tend to side with the NBA. The first possible tip actually seemed hit off the hands of Andrew Bogut and/or Klay Thompson, not Drummond.

What do you think?
