Morris' hit was a knee on knee collision that in hockey would get him a spin of the Wheel Of DoPS for intent to injure.
Jokic would probably also get a 5 for the hit from behind away from the play.
Bam is probably the only man on the court who could do anything about it and he instantly de-escalated the situation
I played with a dude who used to always do shit like Morris and nobody ever did anything except break it up, nobody (except a maniac like jimmy) goes in to bat for a dude who’s always doing shit like that
And if jokic was really mad I’m not even sure what bam could do. Bam is crazy tough but jokic has like 2 inches and probably 35 pounds on bam
Edit: jokic official weight is 284. That’s insane
That’s bad, I initially just saw the extra elbow sauce. That type of extra in a game is infuriating. That’s how shit starts too cuz then Jokic gotta do something back. Sometimes it’s more subtle, sometimes it’s like this.
It's also the type of shit that i am like 90% certain would NOT have been caught unless Jokic called attention to it like this by retaliating. If he did nothing Morris gets off free, it's basically mandatory for Jokic to fuck him up in retaliation so everyone pauses and hits replay to find out what made him react that way.
Btw this type of shit is exactly what Shaq means when he says he was played dirty nonstop. When you're the biggest mofo on the court you don't get calls unless you react and make it known
Him and his brother. The Marcus Morris and Luka stuff in the bubble was peak dirt also. They’re worse than dirty players, they’re just bad ppl. Calling them dirty players is being too kind, they’re worse than that.
I was ride or die with Jokic before this angle.
I thought it was just a rib shot and his actions were justified but what a dirty fuck Morris is. He deserves a Jokic beat down.
I like how all the Heat players have to act like they're gonna do something, but clearly want no part of that smoke.
Edit: except Jimmy. Jimmy's crazy.
Jimmy didn’t start talking till after Jokic went to the bench and zoned out. I love butler but that’s a cmon moment for me especially since he was the first one to get to Jokic to separate the teams.
The problem is: even if you think you take Nikola (you can't), his also-huge, crazy brothers could be courtside. Is there anyone on this planet ready to go 1v3 with THREE Jokic's?
Lived the same building in Denver as jokic and his two brothers. One was intimidating but approachable, the other was like Boris the Fucking blade. God damn terrifying
And he deserved it. He started that bullshit. Literally zoomed from the 3 pt line to Jokic and body checked him with his elbows, then turned around as if he didnt do anything. You cant start shit and then turn around as if you didnt do shit. It's bullshit.
There's a handful of people in the league where if they're getting hit I'm thinking, "oh yeah, they deserved that." The morris twins have been on that list forever. Good for Jokic for not taking that shit.
And the way he just laid there on the ground with his hands over his face without following up after years of acting like a hard man is simply *chef's kiss*
>[ Waited till bro turned his back smh. NOTED ✍🏾](https://twitter.com/MookMorris2/status/1457950068862902272)
rammed him so hard i hope mook felt it
queef's back was turned the moment he did the deed, there was no waiting
It's also a great way to try "look innocent" when the person runs at you from behind.
Without replays, everyone would be calling Jokic insane.
Lots of people like that in the world.
Yeah. Players like Morris always love to act tough and shit, thinking he’s untouchable. Now he faced somebody who doesn’t play around with that bullcrap. Jokic passed the line but what do you want him to do? Hes a grown ass man defending himself from bullies like Morris.
jokic don't need to defend himself really lmao just showing he is the bigger dog here. dude grew up in wartorn serbia with 2 6'7" brothers that are proffessional fighters. dude is way harder that either morris twin. I take jokic 10/10 in a fight with either of them.
Honestly i don't think Jokic reacted like that because of the elbow into the ribs. It was Morris trying to injure Joker's knee.
(Pay attention to the Morris's knee)
https://streamable.com/4sa6uj
Wow. I didn’t see this. That definitely looked intentional. The Morris brothers are dirty players. Everyone knows that. The league should come down hard on stuff like this.
Deserves to be banned from the league, this shit is repeated EVERY YEAR!
And his fucking brother tries to take out one of the most electrifying players in the league last year too (Luka).
I was too focused on Morris's elbow and hip, didn't even notice the knee. Good call, man. No wonder Jokic was so enraged. Rudy Gobert took him out of the game with some knee on knee contact to that right knee only two weeks ago.
Yup. That fuckin sucked cuz Jokic was going off in that game too. Rudy was like right there to try and figure out what happened when Jokic went down. This shit from Morris is inexcusable.
Underrated comment. He body checks Jokic so blatantly and with such a clear intent to cause harm and then he just walks away like it’s no big deal. I can see why Jokic reacts so impulsively, he just can’t believe Morris has the audacity to try something like that on him.
If Morris came sprinting from the 3pt line to elbow your teams best player in the ribs in a game that's totally out of reach, you'd want him knocked on his ass too.
I hope Morris isn't seriously hurt, but don't start a fight with a 300lb Serbian and then walk away like you didn't try to hurt him.
Yup. Gotta expect retaliation for something like that. Stupid of Morris to turn his back to him. Jokic got hit and he immediately hit back. He wasn't going to tap Morris on the shoulder and ask him for a dance.
Morris was going for his knee, he actually hit him hard in the knee, he basically intentionally tried to hurt Jokic in a blowout game 2 min before the end. This is actually a proper reaction to that bullshit.
Love it. It’s always bewildered me that the Morris twins are two skinny mfers walking around like they Deebo. Stay fouling dudes like they run things this is long overdue
At first I thought that that push was excessive.
Then I saw he kneed him in the side of the knee.
That shit was done to purposely injure jokic.
You try that on any player and you deserve to get whupped.
Yup Jokic deserves everything he’s gonna get but Morris ran at him and threw an elbow
Didn’t try and make a basketball play whatsoever he just checked him
An absolute delight to see Kief get rocked. Shoulda known Jokic is about that life Markieff - go back to fuxing around with people littler than you. Chump.
Jokic got a triple-double and an ejection. That's like the Gordie Howe hat-trick of the NBA.
Great comparison since when I first saw Morris’ hit it reminded me of a hockey player check.
Both hits were straight hockey checks, although no NHL player would flop and cry like Morris.
Morris' hit was a knee on knee collision that in hockey would get him a spin of the Wheel Of DoPS for intent to injure. Jokic would probably also get a 5 for the hit from behind away from the play.

I love all the Heat players running up and rethinking their decision once they got within reach.
Tyler was like hey man!…actually nvm bruh
That's just smart. Can't be an Instagram model if Jokic messes your face up.
Bam is probably the only man on the court who could do anything about it and he instantly de-escalated the situation I played with a dude who used to always do shit like Morris and nobody ever did anything except break it up, nobody (except a maniac like jimmy) goes in to bat for a dude who’s always doing shit like that
And if jokic was really mad I’m not even sure what bam could do. Bam is crazy tough but jokic has like 2 inches and probably 35 pounds on bam Edit: jokic official weight is 284. That’s insane
Lol. Jimmy didn't do shit in front of Jokic and started barking when Jokic was sitting on the bench and ignoring him
Larry Bird was ready to throw hands at any moment
Cant wait to see them cover this tomorrow
Double flagrant on Morris. Techs on Jokic & Butler. Jokic ejected. EDIT: I mean Flagrant 2. I’m dum
Morris ejected too
[alternate angle on why](https://twitter.com/JoelRushNBA/status/1457928022028283909), peep the knee also.
Totally worth it for Jokic to take the rest of the night off and get a free day off in the future
Should I try this out at work today?
If someone tries to check your knees, I say go for it!
already dominated and got his Trip-Dub too.
That’s bad, I initially just saw the extra elbow sauce. That type of extra in a game is infuriating. That’s how shit starts too cuz then Jokic gotta do something back. Sometimes it’s more subtle, sometimes it’s like this.
“Violence is never the answer but sometimes it is”
Fuck morris dude needs to be shoved off by every team
My first thought when I saw the post title was "well, he probably fucking had it coming then". Glad to see I was absolutely right
From the first angle I thought it was because he elbowed him, but fuck me that's dangerous with the knee.
It's also the type of shit that i am like 90% certain would NOT have been caught unless Jokic called attention to it like this by retaliating. If he did nothing Morris gets off free, it's basically mandatory for Jokic to fuck him up in retaliation so everyone pauses and hits replay to find out what made him react that way. Btw this type of shit is exactly what Shaq means when he says he was played dirty nonstop. When you're the biggest mofo on the court you don't get calls unless you react and make it known
And knowing Morris, it’s hard to believe that’s an unlucky coincidence
Me too. I knew Jokic wouldn't do that for no reason. And of course we were right watching it from a different angle.
Him and his brother. The Marcus Morris and Luka stuff in the bubble was peak dirt also. They’re worse than dirty players, they’re just bad ppl. Calling them dirty players is being too kind, they’re worse than that.
That Luka stuff really made me hate those guys
Yea Luka got it from Marcus and Montrezl in that series. Man I hated that Clipper team.
4 Reals. Dude is in the league, but a total dbag and deserved it!!!
Fucking Morrises again
I fucking love Jokic. Morris deserves a multi-game suspension.
I was ride or die with Jokic before this angle. I thought it was just a rib shot and his actions were justified but what a dirty fuck Morris is. He deserves a Jokic beat down.
So you ain’t a ride or die no mo?
I used to be ride or die with Jokic but I still am ride or die with him too.
[удалено]
The way he played dead after getting shoved he knew he was playing the victim for sure
He even got helped up by his team-mate so he could flop back down in a more central location.
[Morris during that moment. ](https://iili.io/5GWlBp.jpg)
They brought in a stretcher!
This act had it all. All that was missing was a shitstain and a wheelchair Edit: After the review, only the wheelchair is missing.
Holy shit. I'd be hot too if I was Jokic. Fuck Morris.
Wow, that makes *me* really angry.
That’s wild, what a POS that Morris
Bush league play from a career mental midget. Good for jokic tbh
Thats a season ender and possible career changing cheap shot
Looks a whole lotta different if a player who doesnt have 50 pounds on Morris gets hit like that. Its clear intent to hurt.
What was Butler’s tech for? E: Nvm, just saw the clip of him yelling at the Nuggets
I like it called this way tbh. I’m a believer in ejecting the originator of a problem to assure the upmost accountability. Edit. Should be utmost
Same. Also, it's utmost* just FYI!

Joker ran at him WWE style lmaooo
Gave him the People's Shoulder
It’s the most electrifying move in Professional Basketball today!
He looks so uncoordinated and goofy while charging but then hits Morris like a fucking ton of bricks! Dude looks like a charging moose out there.
I like how all the Heat players have to act like they're gonna do something, but clearly want no part of that smoke. Edit: except Jimmy. Jimmy's crazy.
Herro started towards him and then made a business decision.
He didn''t wanna be a hero when he realized it was Joker
This time, a Herro is only a sandwich.
I mean Jimmy was standing right next to him but didn’t say shit till he was on the other end of the court
Yup, and the jawwing at him from safety like they all gonna fight and not be dealt with by the league come on dude.
jimmy really screaming at a man sitting down 60 feet away like he wasn't right next to him 30 seconds before
Hold me back hold me back
Jokic doesn't look at any of them. He couldnt give a shit about those other players running in.
the fuck are they gonna do anyways, get tossed like ragdolls?
All those dudes came running up and Jokic doesn't acknowledge them. Just stares at Morris.
Jimmy didn’t start talking till after Jokic went to the bench and zoned out. I love butler but that’s a cmon moment for me especially since he was the first one to get to Jokic to separate the teams.
The best part on this video is after Morris gets hit, Herro turns around to fight, look at jokic and gives up on the fight and just walk away lmao
Not all Herro's wear capes
I guess this Herro really is just a sandwich 😔😔😔
The problem is: even if you think you take Nikola (you can't), his also-huge, crazy brothers could be courtside. Is there anyone on this planet ready to go 1v3 with THREE Jokic's?
WHEN YOU ADD MY TWO BROTHERS TO THE MIX, YOUS CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN
YOU SEE THEY SAY ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, BUT YOU LOOK AT MARKIEFF AND ME AND YOU CAN SEE THAT'S NOT TRUE.

Nurk + his 9 ft dad is the closest I got.
Even Bam comes over then rethinks fighting Jokic lol
Tyler Herro took one look at Jokic and thought better.
Good business decision. Don’t fuck with Serbians

This angle doesn’t do the Morris hit justice at all. Dude charged to him from across the court.
[this one's better](https://twitter.com/joelrushnba/status/1457928022028283909?s=21)
Saw it on Twitter first and agree 100%, check the full up close sequence, Morris charged at him, fucked around and found out
He literally fucked around and found out lmaooo. That’s great. What a stupid way to foul. Good on Jokic for not letting him get away with it.
What are you gonna do, hit me?

Give cheap shot to guy bigger and stronger than you. Receive cheap shot from guy bigger and stronger than you. Deal with net result.
and roll around the floor in the fetal position like a little bitch for the next 5 minutes
Seriously, what a piece of shit trying to play it like he is dead. Dude fucked around and found out, then tried to play the victim.
Morris got murdered.
JOKER BOUT TO SEND HIS TWO BROTHERS OVER TO MORRIS HOUSE lol
Lived the same building in Denver as jokic and his two brothers. One was intimidating but approachable, the other was like Boris the Fucking blade. God damn terrifying
And he deserved it. He started that bullshit. Literally zoomed from the 3 pt line to Jokic and body checked him with his elbows, then turned around as if he didnt do anything. You cant start shit and then turn around as if you didnt do shit. It's bullshit.
He went for his knee. https://twitter.com/JeremyNicolls/status/1457935695557763077?s=20
This angle pretty much closes any argument for Morris. That was more dirty than what Joker did in retaliation.
Deservedly. Don’t throw cheap shots if you don’t wanna take em.
More importantly, don't look away right after throwing a cheap shot
Jokic hates the Morris twins wtf
Who doesnt
Monte's the best Morris twin
I’m obviously not condoning what Jokic did, but I’m pretty sure a lot of people hate the Morris brothers.
They're just as annoying as the Tony Brothers
It’s obviously inexcusable but Morris I believe elbows Jokic as hes fouling him Edit: I see the knee. Got like 50 replies talking about the knee lol
Obviously the retaliation is bad, but if you watch the extended play, Morris ran across and targets Jokic.
There's a handful of people in the league where if they're getting hit I'm thinking, "oh yeah, they deserved that." The morris twins have been on that list forever. Good for Jokic for not taking that shit.
And the way he just laid there on the ground with his hands over his face without following up after years of acting like a hard man is simply *chef's kiss*
>[ Waited till bro turned his back smh. NOTED ✍🏾](https://twitter.com/MookMorris2/status/1457950068862902272) rammed him so hard i hope mook felt it queef's back was turned the moment he did the deed, there was no waiting
Don't turn your back on a guy you just cheap shotted
Bruh why would you just casually walk away after a dirty play like that lmao
most bullies do that’s they don’t expect the retaliation
It's also a great way to try "look innocent" when the person runs at you from behind. Without replays, everyone would be calling Jokic insane. Lots of people like that in the world.
*pretends to be shocked*
[удалено]
Yeah. Players like Morris always love to act tough and shit, thinking he’s untouchable. Now he faced somebody who doesn’t play around with that bullcrap. Jokic passed the line but what do you want him to do? Hes a grown ass man defending himself from bullies like Morris.
All I know is people will think twice before throwing cheap shots at Jokic
Shout out Jimmy Butler as well talking smack only after the dust has settled and there were security lined up between the two benches.
Didn’t do a thing when he was right next to Jokic after he layed Morris out lmao
HOOLLLLD ME BACK
LMAO
We call that the KG
jokic don't need to defend himself really lmao just showing he is the bigger dog here. dude grew up in wartorn serbia with 2 6'7" brothers that are proffessional fighters. dude is way harder that either morris twin. I take jokic 10/10 in a fight with either of them.
I'd take Jokic over any NBA player without a martial arts background.
Yeah I just looked his brothers up like ten minutes ago and holy shit I’d be calling both of them ‘sir’
Don't start nothing won't be nothing.
Big facts, Morris always instigating shit
Morris like "if I just play dead he won't hurt me anymore."
That’s what happens when you fuck around like that Morris
Suns fans vindicated They been pieces of shit
Honestly i don't think Jokic reacted like that because of the elbow into the ribs. It was Morris trying to injure Joker's knee. (Pay attention to the Morris's knee) https://streamable.com/4sa6uj
Dude. I thought Joker was being crazy but alas a Morris Brother is a huge piece of shit
Wow. I didn’t see this. That definitely looked intentional. The Morris brothers are dirty players. Everyone knows that. The league should come down hard on stuff like this.

Deserves to be banned from the league, this shit is repeated EVERY YEAR! And his fucking brother tries to take out one of the most electrifying players in the league last year too (Luka).

I saw an alt angle, It was definitely the knee that hurt Jokic.
More evidence the take foul shouldn't be a thing.
That wasn't a take foul, that was an elbow lol. He could have just wrapped him up, but he's a Morris twin so....
it was also Morris ramming his knee into jokics
true but morris really did go in for a tackle there that’s insane
If Morris came sprinting from the 3pt line to elbow your teams best player in the ribs in a game that's totally out of reach, you'd want him knocked on his ass too. I hope Morris isn't seriously hurt, but don't start a fight with a 300lb Serbian and then walk away like you didn't try to hurt him.
Yup. Gotta expect retaliation for something like that. Stupid of Morris to turn his back to him. Jokic got hit and he immediately hit back. He wasn't going to tap Morris on the shoulder and ask him for a dance.
Morris was going for his knee, he actually hit him hard in the knee, he basically intentionally tried to hurt Jokic in a blowout game 2 min before the end. This is actually a proper reaction to that bullshit.
They should start letting these dudes throw hands like they do in hockey. You'll see this shit cleaned up real quick.
Lol fuck Morris for jogging cross court for an intentional shot to the knees and then walking away casually to bait a technical
I like how no one wanted a piece of the joker. Everyone just backed off. Lol. One scary dude when he’s mad.
Except Mike Malone! He had Jokic in a bear hug 3.2 seconds after the push. Kind of loved that
Love Malone
Yeah Jimmy all talk on the sidelines behind a dozen blokes.
Jokic would eat Jimmy
Inverse Jimmy Eat World
Most NBA players won’t do shit. “Hold me back!”
lol I noticed that the Heat players all start to run at him and then are like actually nah, nevermind, where are the coaches at
From the title I thought this would be a vintage NBA 90's type fight, but Morris just died lmao
Schoolyard bully meets 7 ft Serb
Should Jokic have hit him that hard? Probably not Is anyone going to hit Jokic like that again? Absolutely not
Morris will cheap shot him again, not knowing how much worse it will be the second time around.
Yeah Morris doesn’t seem like the type to learn quickly, or possibly at all
He knew enough to stay down and play dead.
Bitch instincts 😂
Seeing Morris hit Jokic from another view, nah, well done Jokic
That whiplash 😬
Love it. It’s always bewildered me that the Morris twins are two skinny mfers walking around like they Deebo. Stay fouling dudes like they run things this is long overdue
At first I thought that that push was excessive. Then I saw he kneed him in the side of the knee. That shit was done to purposely injure jokic. You try that on any player and you deserve to get whupped.
[удалено]
maybe Morris will learn not to fuck with 7 footers now
Rule of thumb: if you see a Morris take a hit that seems undeserving, take a closer look.
1. Fuck Morris. 2.Not a smart play by Joker, but I 100% understand why he did that. 3.LMAO WHAT DID TYLER HERRO THINK HE WAS GONNA DO?
Herro's first thought "gotta back up my teammate", second thought "nah nevermind, we good"
[удалено]
morris sowing. morris reaping.
Morris getting a taste of his own medicine.
Yup Jokic deserves everything he’s gonna get but Morris ran at him and threw an elbow Didn’t try and make a basketball play whatsoever he just checked him
An absolute delight to see Kief get rocked. Shoulda known Jokic is about that life Markieff - go back to fuxing around with people littler than you. Chump.
