You wanna know how I got my team to play defense 🥴

Theory going around that this is a way to get a load management day against bad teams.

First Giannis, now Jokic. It makes sense from their perspective. And Jokic wasn’t exactly holding back when he got his second T.

Nah his wrist is hurt, he could have used that. Malone and Jokic just used this to make a statement to the nba and the refs

This doesn't make sense to me. If they wanted to load manage with Murray out, it would make much more sense to do it against a good team, because they very easily could have lost this game that should have been a free win.

Also, he waited until the 2nd quarter, and he was clearly hacked on that play.

Load management is an organizational and medical staff strategy. 99% of players would rather be out there on the court, and once the ball goes up there ain’t no way you can convince me they’d want to sit out at that point.

Nah Jokic was fuckin heated, he'd have to be a really good actor lol

i think he may not be totally wrong.

before he got ejected the game is very close.

Well it’s starting to look very FISHY, especially if you play parlays as I do! Nearly every night players are not getting even the minimum points or well below & now I’m observing top line players being ejected early so they CANNOT get their points! Extremely disappointing & frankly looks tampered!!!
