Announcers haven't mentioned Rozier's shove either? Are they blind?

Double tech would be fair. Morris standing over and taunting + the reaction forearm = Nance's cheap shot.

Those two plays are nothing alike. Morris made a play on the ball.

Lol Morrris such a scrub. He's the kind of fake tough guy that nobody should support.

How do the refs know that Morris was taunting? Maybe Morris was asking if Nance was OK.

Whats the diference between what Nance did and what morris and rozier did? Nance pushed him, then Morris and Rozier pushed him back.

Rozier went in with a shove, which is a move to escalate the situation not break it up. That was the correct call.

Riddle me this. Why does home court seem to be mattering more in this series compared to the WCF?

The NBA has been trying to get rid of its "thug" identity for years and cutting down on that kind of plays is one of their main strategies. It's weird though, in a black dominated league like the NBA most people see it as thug behaviour yet in the white dominated NHL it's "part of the game".

GSW and HOU were the best road teams during the regular season.
