    This isn’t the NHL we’re talking about.

    Jokic also contributed to the delay--him being over there and trying to get the ball from Ishbia prevented the ref from getting over there and getting the ball himself, and then created a situation to which the ref had to tend. If Jokic had just let the ref do his job, he would have gotten the ball inbounded much more quickly.

    I'd be pretty sure that Jokic knew who it was holding the ball. I suspect he would have never done that if it would have been a 'normal' fan. Deliberate action

    that doesn't mean that the owner wasn't being a doofus

    I just don't even know what he was doing.... why did he charge in and start ripping the ball away? There was still a Suns player trying to get up out of the crowd.

    And then the shove was an overreaction by him, even if the owner flopped.

    I see it a couple ways. Both involved know exactly what they were doing. That owner knows the game well enough to know he wants the Suns player up and ready before he gives up the ball. Jokic knows full well who that is and he knows exactly what he is doing by holding the ball like that. So he in turn tries to take the ball and get play moving faster while the player is still down.
    To me there is no question both were trying to influence the situation and I feel the Tech was warranted beings there was a push. However I also feel that is the end of the situation and there should be no further action taken. This issue is over. Been handled already.

    I don't think the Knicks will battle back.

    I can't recall a team getting every single rebound and loose ball in a quarter like the Heat got in the 4th. It was insane

    This is a really bad choke job by a team with a ton of playoff experience.

    Curry choked. He's not clutch. He's not Top 10 All Time. Dame would've made those shots.
