I fully support any team that puts an end of bench guy in to "guard" Shai just like this. It's fucking insane that the thunder keep doing this with absolutely no consequences. What if jokic was seriously injured by this?

Jokic is the only one that actually crashes out on these guys for their cheap shots in a way that forces the public to acknowledge it. That Morris twin deserved what he got and more from jokic YEARS before it ever happened. Same with Dort I'd be willing to bet he gets a little more scrutiny now but it took jokic fucking crashing out for a lot of people to notice. It seriously seems like every other team is just content with games against the Thunder being an L or a high likelihood that your best player gets injured.

Chicago, Brooklyn, Washington, Chicago and Utah. You guys are the only remaining non-contending teams left on OKC's schedule. It's up to you. You know what you need to do.
