I tried. I really tried

I saw Jokic getting killed for this last night but I didn't have a problem with it. I hope Morris isn't actually injured but the guy is throwing shots at people all the time. I thought it was funny that he took a shot at Jokic and then went down like he had been shot after he hit him back.
Do you think Morris was embellishing how hurt he was? Certainly looked it. Cheap shots by both of them. Morris is known to do that stuff.

I think Morris sold it great. I will say when they showed the replay Morris' head snapped back and then forward pretty violently. I don't think he sold that part of the hit. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he was woozy from it.

I don't know enough about Morris to know his history. From that play alone Morris definitely waited for Jokic to get off his feet before hitting him center mass. I don't think Jokic's response was out of line. A punch to the back of the head, diving at the knees, kicking, etc would have been too far. A hard shoulder to the upper part of the back? Cheap but not egregious.

I was talking about how he rolled on the ground and then got up and fell to the ground again rolling around. While it was a pretty jolting hit, Morris is a pretty big guy and I don't think he was really hurt. He was trying to sell it so Dokic would get a bigger penalty. He must have been watching European soccer lately.
