        Jokic just needs to flop and shout every time the ball leaves his hand like Embiid and the league is finished. NBA isn’t ready for a 15 ft per game 40 ppg Nikola Jokic.

          For years I’ve been ranting about how ridiculous it looks when Embiid gets almost 15 FTs per game for stretches at a time. He way to often searches for and embellishes contact instead of just playing. Mad annoying.

      If you slow it down whether intentional or not Suggs very clearly traps Jokics arm and drags it near his own face then their legs get caught up in what clearly appears to just be them both rushing to get up at the same time. I can’t see any ill intention from Jokic in the slowmo replay.

    Anthony pushes Jokic into Suggs the first time

    Than Suggs pushes Jokic and Jokic responds where Suggs flops

    Refs handled this well

      Yep he has clear anger issues, very dirty player who intentionally endangers others on a consistent basis. But no backlash for the cuddly white guy

    That’s 4 fouls not called on Jokic before one smaller Orlando guy coming from behind and knocking him to the ground or am I tripping

    So I know we lost which means hatehatehate, but I can’t be the only one who saw a) Jokic get pushed into him on the first fall, and b) him initiate contact with Jokic for, I dunno, reasons? before the second? Like I get it, free karma, but come on.

    Absolutely insane this was called a double common foul. Clear technical on Jokic and it’s not even a debate. I get he had some silly tech the last game but you don’t let him hit some other player in the face because they messed that call up.

    I don’t get how Joe ingles gets foul calls for flicking his arms out, but Cole Anthony doesn’t get an over the back foul there. It is pretty ridiculous

      I hate pulling this card, but the NBA has repeatedly shown that they do in fact accept The Star Card

      How does this happen to the reining champ with back-to-back MVPs nonetheless?

        Denver market. The NBA is an entertainment product somewhere in between a real sport and professional wrestling.

    I don’t understand why there wasn’t a foul called on the guy who leapt into Jokic from behind and knocked him into Suggs.

      At 7-8 seconds in look at how Cole jumps basically straight up, though he’s reaching over Jokic, and Jokic’s feet. He hops backwards into Cole.

          “love how he pushed off Jokic’s back with both hands too” lol, that’s not true at all! You can clearly see his right hand reaching for the ball over Jokic, he doesn’t put his right hand on Jokic’s back until he’s already falling. The second replay shows Jokic basically already horizontal by the time his right hand is on his back, and his left hand is more just pinned between them than actually pushing.

          Also gives a great view of Suggs backing his ass in to Jokic to bowl him over.

      why there wasn’t a foul called on the guy who leapt into Jokic

      Because it’s Nikola Jokic. He gets the worst whistle in the league.
