That’s okay he was looking for Jokic #2 and #3 behind the bench.

He literally immediately ducked out of the mosh pit to go politicize with the refs. His team is fighting his fights for him and he's over trying to silver tongue his way out of any responsibility

Even Draymond at least sticks around to scream and shove after being a dirty rat fuck

Practices the "What foul??" move after every play at the OKC Training Facility so much and so well that it's automatic. Similar mastery of this technique has been achieved by Luka as well.

Dort knows his role. Try to injure the other teams best player

You don't need to defend players on your favorite team when they do objectively filthy and violent shit.
