Joker ain't scared of Jimmy Butler.
It was absolutely a cheap shot, but Morris has had something like this coming for a long time.4/5 wrote:I felt very conflicted. I like Jokic way more than either Morris. But he went over the top on that one.Monkey_Driven wrote:I applaud Jokic's cheap shot on Morris. The Morris twins are trash.
I don't think he wants any part of Jimmy Butler lol. Also, speaking of wanting no part, the reverse angle where you can see Tyler Herro right there and clearly wants no part of Jokic is kinda funny. Bam on the other hand immediately sprinted at him. *shrug*
Yeah, I'm not sure Butler really wants a piece of Jokic. Easy to yell things across the court at him though.bada wrote:Joker ain't scared of Jimmy Butler.

They've been a real treat to watch this year. I've been relatively quiet since their schedule has been very heavy on home games against suspect opponents, but they play with the continuity and joy of a team that is confident and comfortable with their roles. Steph doesn't seem to have a lost a step at all and Draymond is playing like the best defensive player in the league again. Just like most teams, they're an injury or two away from falling in the standings, but I don't see any reason why they aren't contenders at this point (with or without Klay).

Jordan Poole is really good. They should trade Klay.Monkey_Driven wrote:They've been a real treat to watch this year.

Never. Even if they wanted to trade him, his contract is pretty high for the level of production he will deliver.spike wrote:Jordan Poole is really good.

I will probably get emotional when he plays later this season.
