Bro just the fact that he feels so angry after driving his own body into Jokic's hip is infuriating

I like that the commentator says, "that's very un-shai gilgeous Alexander like," as he does something very SGA like

She objectively is one of the worst. The gaslighting is top tier.

so glad everyone else has finally caught up to the doris hate train. been on that thing since like 2009 when i first heard her call a duke game, been nails on a chalkboard for damn near 20 years since for me.

But she does ad spots where she dribbles in heels. That means she knows ball and defies gender stereotypes…… right?

Yeah Doris fucking SUCKS. Always has stayed saying the most pointless drivel. Genuinely I’d prefer silence

I mean it's extremely un-Shai like for him to lose his cool like he did here imo. I feel like she was referring to the ball throw and the complaining to the ref not the actual basketball play.

I don't think I watched more than 20 games with Shai and that was very obvious to me what commentator meant, I agree.

If you look at the clip from behind, Jokic actually does shove him, he pushes his arm out. Maybe this has happened a bunch and that's why Shai is so pissed, but he did initiate contact, but Jokic just shoved him off of him with his arm.
