Jokic’s been worse than SGA in the series, though.
18 assists to 21 turnovers for Jokic on bad defense
24 assists to 4 turnovers for SGA on good defense.
Jokic’s cast stepping up has been the difference for them
That's warped a bit by game two though. Ultimately Jokic has been better in two of the three games (particularly in the clutch),
which is all that really matters in the playoffs.
This is definitely not true though

And Gordon even got a tech for complaining about the first one.
Of course the reality is that fouls get missed. That contest in real time didn't look any sort of obvious foul.
Seeing that it is a foul in a replay or a still shot, I mean, yea, refs wished that's how their eyes work in real life.

I just really dislike the "look at the replay or still shot, how could the refs miss this" kind of commentary. Those are plays that are so close and depends on angles, etc, that I just don't get the still image and slow motion commentary on calls.
I mean look at he baseline ref, Gordon's arm would be blocking his view, so of course he can't see if Hart contacts from the other side, but will see him hitting the ball. Then there's whether you consider it incidental contact or detrimental contact. Yes of course the player can complain as they felt the foul, but you can always get a tech for that. And of course as fans we can be disappointed they didn't see it, but the idea that it is some sort of incompetence or something is ridiculous.
