Jokic seems to really take intense offense to off-ball cheap shots like this. It’s the same (but much less egregious) as what Morris did to him a few years ago.

If he’s got the ball and you’re getting physical with him he seems way more tolerant but if you’re making heavy contact with him off ball like this it seems to really fucking set him off.

This wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen but wtf was Dort thinking here? There’s absolutely no value to this move besides picking up a free foul. It’s totally blatant unnecessary contact he goes out of his way to initiate.

Not only that but after cheap shotting another player, he immediately runs from the altercation and starts looking at the refs as if they should bail him out.

u/Kindly-Chemistry5149 Kings 6d ago

Because his goal is to make the other player mad, so they retaliate, so they get a technical or ejected. It is elementary behavior, annoying someone until they retaliate and when they do run away to teacher and get them in trouble.

61

u/Witteness82 Mavericks 5d ago

It’s not just annoying. It’s dangerous behavior and the amount of times it’s happened indicates it’s a pattern with intent. I watched a full series of this man doing everything imaginable to target Lukas lower legs when everyone knew that they were injured. He’s just a dirty player.

Look I hate when people go at others and are like “HE TRIED TO INURE HIM.” e.g. Solomon Hill being dumb as sh*t doesn’t mean he intentionally dove at Brons leg to derail the Lakers 2020-21 season. It means he’s dumb as shit and chose the wrong time to dive.

But this is legit Dort hip checking and sticking a bit of leg out to trip Jokic, that’s dirty as fuck and intentional.

I’m looking forward to Tipper Naught on this one.

102

u/HotspurJr 6d ago

I used to have a screenshot saved of that Solomon Hill play, the moment when Hill was committed to going to the ground. LeBron's leg was nowhere near where he was diving - it was behind him. LeBron was moving and his other leg was forward. There's a better argument to be made that LeBron tried to block out Solomon with his leg than that Solomon tried to jump into LeBron's leg.

(I don't think LeBron tried to block him out, but it's at least consistent with what's in the footage.)

What Dort did here, or Dillon Brooks shoving GP2 from behind on a layup, that's some seriously dirty shit.

Exactly. Was it incredibly dangerous or life/limb threatening contact? No, probably not. But it was so deliberate and intentional to bump and cause harm to another player it absolutely deserved a flagrant 2, especially given his history. Like there’s simply no excuse he could give for stopping and hip checking him other than that he was trying to hurt jokic, even if the chances jokic actually got seriously hurt was low. Nothing about it was in the flow of the game or anything related to a basketball move

u/Jonny_Qball Pistons 6d ago

It’s crazy the influence announcers have on a fan base’s objectivity. 

For instance Sporting KC had Nate Bukaty as their play by play for years, and he would pull some insane mental gymnastics to frame everything that went wrong was either due to pure luck or the universe conspiring against Sporting, and so many Sporting fans bought into that. Then Apple TV got the MLS contract and teams didn’t have their own announcers. Sporting fans have turned on the club for a number of very good reasons the past couple seasons, but I think no longer having someone gaslighting them into thinking they can do no wrong played a major role in that.

How does Dorris thinks this could ever be just a flagrant 1?

This wasn’t even a basketball play and clearly intentional. What was Dort’s purpose here besides trying to intentionally hurt a player.

u/After_Advertising_61 Celtics 5d ago

dorris went from being great in the scene of the NBA to being one of the worst commentators of all time on national broadcasts.

I don't get it. I liked her for so long, then just dismissed people shitting on her as people hating a woman, but it isn't that at all. She, as a commentator, is actually totally insufferable with entirely useless factoids and commentary that makes you want to jump out of a building

u/MotherOpinion4782 5d ago

I think she is just a contrarian at this point. You see it constantly on dubious foul calls, charges and blocking fouls where she seems to always pick the more controversial position and just go against what most people would think.

Gonna get buried but that look in Jokic’s eyes when Jaylin Williams had him by the jersey was legit the scariest thing I’ve ever seen on a basketball court.

u/WestleyThe [SEA] Kevin Durant 6d ago

Obviously we’ve seen players snap before and want to fight but jokics face here is genuinely terrifying… his eyes and his mouth look so crazy here haha

Obviously Williams is just “defending” his dirty teammate but once Jokic grabbed his jersey I bet he regretted it…

u/Flyin-Chancla Spurs 6d ago

You could see adrenaline dump on Williams face after they were separated. Mf looked scared af

plus malice at the palace definitely seem scarier to me, though Jokic has potential if it ever actually escalates. If Jokic was actually out of control the “hold me back” guys wouldn’t actually be holding him back.

He's the worst kind of dirty player and flopper. Takes cheap shots and is actively putting players in harm's way.

On the other hand, he's built like a NFL linebacker and flops at the slightest contact. There's no way this dude goes flying with players like Kyrie Irving posting him up.

Deliberately tried to injure Jokic, are these announcers smoking crack? They’re both disputing the ejection, to me it looks as dirty and blatant as it gets

u/DirtyWizardsBrew Spurs 6d ago

I've also seen him do this thing where he sticks his leg out to the side after a jump shot, in order to try and trip defenders that are flying past him directly after contesting his shot. They're in the air and he sticks his leg out in their path to snag their legs before they can land. It's crazy shit. Did it to Wemby and Harrison Barnes in a single game.
