Chiming in to note: go on ahead and assume it won't be Jokic lighting us up in a few days.

I can't decide which Green will be the Hawks Killer on Thursday. Jamychal or Jeff?

Morris had it coming. I don’t even know what happened and I don’t know which Morris but either had in coming since the Suns Hawks game in Atlanta in 2015. They screwed up Thabo and Pero.

Dirty play by both individuals. Jokic’s may have been even dirtier.

Yep.   It's overdue.   But this is going to be a great year for guys like morris, lowry, paul.  Refs going to be looking the other way more than ever as they manhandle guys and claim their tough.

If things keep escalating with the chippy stuff, the longer it goes, things will get to a boiling point.....then the refs will try to reign it back in.

yea, the only person in danger of getting hurt on that play was Jokic who could've easily had a rib broken by that cheapshot.  Two hand shoving a guy in the middle/top of his back is not going to result in an injury unless he is standing on a ledge.

[AHF]

Said it on the other thread, but Morris has been a dirty player for a while and this was not something that happened in isolation.  I do this myself in sports where I play very clean and don't look to hurt anyone but if you keep grabbing me and taking cheap shots at me to gain an advantage I'm going to do something very overt like Jokic did.  If shoving and grabbing are allowed then let's just shove in a very overt way instead of throwing elbows quietly.  I don't celebrate this because the game should be clean but I very much get it on a personal level.  And if Morris thinks he can get away with this stuff without retaliation coming at some point then he is living in a dream world.  Morris was ejected for this but wouldn't have been without Jokic blowing it into a bigger issue.  He does stuff like this all the time.

This matches what we're seeing.  3rd in mid-range is inexcusable.  We do not have LMA or KD or anyone that can justify it.  Cam and Hunter seem to be the worst offenders.  Bogi and Heurter have fallen in love with it as well.  Someone has to educate Nate on how bad long 2s are... you can hit them at all-time elite clips and it will never be better than even above-the-break 3s.  And I'm not talking about end of shot clock find some space long 2s.  I'm talking about the ones we seemingly run plays for and the ones we constantly settle for.

Was that the Incredible Hulk in a suit before them?  Must've been since they were clearly there to fight and not to photo opp. 

Guy must've hd the strength of 10 men considering he was able to single-handedly stop them all.

'Cause .... I mean how was he able to stop all them toughies without superpowers?

Friggin fake toughs.  Look at the fear in Bam and Lowry's faces.

[kg01]

I'll give my heat fan BIL credit.  Talked to him today and he clowned the fact that the Heat wanted to fight after the game despite showing no fight during the game.
