These announcers are ROUGH.

apparently Joker was in his bag for selling the call lol.

How quickly the goal post shifts. The announcer is garbage.

He also added the caveat that it should be considered ‘incidental contact’ - I’ve never seen an outstretched arm, behind someone’s back at that height, to be ‘incidental’ or part of a natural movement

They even said Jok just flopped. When the replay showed he really hit Jok in the face. lol

Then he goes on to call it incidental lol. Like he literally swing his left arm all the way around his back and upwards to hit him. This guy damn.

Since we have been saying Kerr and Curry should be held liable for enabling Draymond’s antics, shouldn’t Mark Daigneault and FTA be held to the same standard for continuing enabling Dort’s antics?

Michael Cage is annoying af sometimes as a thunder fan

What I don’t get is why other fanbases hate listen to our broadcast lol just watch the national cast

This was jedi level flopping from Jokic. He mentally forced Dort to actually hit him in the face first to then complete the flop. 

Lmao I made a post about this. Did you hear the part where he says: jokic’s face does make contact with dort

Careless at best is super generous of you lmao

If the league continues to treat this like a nonissue every team should just start calling up G league players whenever they play OKC and have them do the same shit Dort does to SGA.

It’s fucking disgusting and almost lost us the game, just play fucking normal

The Thunder subreddit is full of the most delusional fans

It won’t stop until teams actually answer in kind. If you play OKC, you need a guy that’s gonna go out there just to fuck up Shai the same way OKC sends their goons after the opposing key players. Shouldn’t have to be this way but apparently OKC wants that.

Not careless. Intentional. Dort made an unnatural motion with his arm.

I haven’t seen anyone defending this one. You’d have to be real fucking dumb not to realize Dort’s playing dirty.

How many flagrants and techs have the Thunder had against the Nuggets the past two games? Dort has had two on Jokic, SGA chucked the ball at Jokic after a run of the mill foul, and Hartenstein hit Jamal in the face. Were there any others?

you talk like donald trump

Yeah. I’m getting real tired of him.

Has to be…

at this point, with how many times it’s happening, minimum mark d is an enabler 

It certainly is weird that this is the second time Jokic has been hit in the face by an OKC player and is being asked to apologize for it again.

Yeah, Michael Cage is a terrible announcer…

Because they’re as inbred as their fans?

Worst product in America is harsh. That McDonald’s CEO would definitely take a healthy bite of both Dort’s and Jokic’s ass

NBA has definitely fallen below the nfl and mlb in oncourt product. Gambling and green ruined it

Just ridiculous. Naked women dancing in front of adults is a bad look but intentionally injuring a player because he’s better than you is just fine.

The fact he wasnt suspended is an absolute joke

Imagine a no name LB tool multiple cheap hits on Mahomes what Goodell would do

Suspend him but for the playoffs, not regular season.

I think teams will eventually retaliate, it’ll get sloppy, and then Silver will do something. Until then, we all know Silver is going to let OKC do whatever they want. He wants SGA to make a deep playoff run. The NBA is managed less like a fair contest and more like a reality tv show.

They should get Shai tbh. Hockey goons trading 1 for 1 with the other team’s star is what they want.

Don’t need to keep it in the family. Brothers just need to hire some one.

Draymond exists, so Lu Dort is innocent and deserves 0 punishment

Straight up I told my dad this that Dort has intentionally hit Jokic in two straight games now. The Nuggets have every right in my book to put someone like Spencer Jones in to clock Lu Dort next time they play (April 10th).

Edit: Like I know if someone did that shit to Cade this close together, someone on the Pistons woulda handled that shit, right?

Someone call up Beef Stew, his talents are needed.

Finally. A reasonable OKC fan. Gee. Your fan base is making me really dislike the thunder. And I’ve been loving watching thunder ball since Westbrook.

Ajay clears him too.

If Caruso is healthy, I see no reason for Dort to see the floor after the shit he’s been pulling this year.

If it’s not wildly unnecessary contact 

How could it not be?

You guys have so much depth, you could honestly just get rid of him

He keeps the tackle in reverse for the playoffs

He tackled AG a few plays earlier…

Not me. Sick and tired of Dort.

It was. Especially with his history, it’s worthy of a lengthy suspension IMO. It’s clearly not a basketball play in any way. Intentionally swinging elbows at a guys face is egregious. Just zero reason to do that except to injure

Do the Celtics have an enforcer?

I think the Pistons delegation will loan you guys Beef Stew to deal with him if he touches Tatum

And good luck kneecapping KD. Udoka has no problem stepping into the fray.

I think any of his events in isolation (except the Jokic trip in our last meetup) can be given the benefit of the doubt like that. But when you look at the pattern, it’s obviously a problem. Whether it’s intentional or not (I believe the pattern suggests it usually is), doesn’t matter, it needs to be dealt with regardless.

Did those kids become elite professional athletes? Named to All-Defensive teams?

So you object because it almost cost you the game?

If it had helped you win the game (like when he injured Morant with no flagrant called) then you congratulate Dort?
