Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.



Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Don't think they'll overturn that one. That looked like it could have gone off either of them.

[KC_Connection]

Wow they did. Surprising.

Agreed. That wouldn't sit well overall.

[dirk digler]

Jokic had a great game until the last minute. That was rough

2-2

NBAPA certainly would fight it with everything they had.

In any case, this one's going back to Denver 2-2 despite 51 points on 19/29 shooting from Jokic. Booker and Durant were almost as good themselves tonight.

Yes. Series over if they do. Likely a different story if it were in regular season. I still like Denver in this series. IF they suspend him, I'm out dough.

Jokic Definitely should be suspended if the NBA has any consistency but I bet he won’t.

He shouldn't and he won't. If anything, the owner should be barred from sitting courtside like the Warriors' idiot owner who shoved Lowry in 2019. Don't get involved in the play, it isn't that hard.

Owner had his hand on Jokic first, while trying to take the ball from live action. Get real lmao

Owner didn't want to release the ball so that Denver couldn't get a fast break basket and then completely flopped to draw a technical after confronting Jokic. Nothing is gonna happen to Jokic.

yeah that's my point, owner initiated first and is clearly at fault

Regardless whether the owner/fan is being an idiot you can’t go into a crowd and start shoving people. That could have escalated real quick.

If this was the regular season he would definitely be suspended.

If a fan is not releasing the ball and confronting you, sure you can. He's not getting suspended for that "shove" and I don't know why anybody would think differently.

Regular season he definitely is getting suspended. It is no different than what Davante Adams did. He is lucky thee owner is super rich and seemed ok if that was a regular fan charges would be pressed and lawsuit happening.

This is America this ain’t Canada
