Jokic obviously pulled his arm. Dude is always getting away with pushes and pulls, glad they finally called it.



He pulled it up though

SGA fell to the floor

What do we call that when Jokic does it? Flopping right? Oh ok.

Definitely the worst officiating this series, though it was worse in the first half

Are you joking ?


Yes, less shooting 68% from the field for 45 points. That's what this team needs.

Well, if you judge by this game thread, every single player sucks excepts for Alex Caruso and Julian Strawther.

The funny part is he grabbed the arm and pulled upwards

And SGA fell down

And yall say Jokic flops and SGA doesn’t

:lol: ok


We defending illegal contact now?


No, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

They either both flop or neither flops when they do the same move.

I think he’s talking about guys flopping on both sides. I read it the way you did at first and had to re-read it because I couldn’t believe someone would be unhappy with this series :lol:

Jokic has to be the master of those weird looking releases but still well aimed at the rim shots.
