Michael Singer: Liked this from Will Barton on Jokic’s ejection: “I actually like when he does that. I like when he does it because he’s so laid back. To see him turned up, get emotional during the game, I like it. I don’t like when he gets thrown out. Get the first tech and then calm down.”
Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic said he deserved to get ejected Saturday night. That much he conceded. But he also lamented how difficult it is to keep his emotions in check when he feels he’s being unfairly whistled. “It’s extremely hard because it’s not equal for everybody,” Jokic said in the aftermath of the Nuggets’ 102-100 victory over the Pacers, the second consecutive game Denver has won on a game-clinching basket.
Jokic was called for a foul while trying to corral an offensive rebound with 2:56 remaining against Pacers center Myles Turner. He blew a gasket at official Tony Brothers and immediately drew two technical fouls and the boot. “I didn’t say nothing,”Jokic said, though video clearly showed him barking at Brothers. “I don’t know what he was talking (about).”
Michael Singer: Jokic said he went back and watched his “lucky” game-winner. I asked how often he hits a shot like that. “It’s what I do,” he said. “No, I’m joking.”
Nick Kosmider: Nikola Jokic says fatigue isn’t a factor for him right now. Joked that “I’m taking a rest so I can explode later.” Jokic says he has no interest in sitting out any games. “But practice, we can talk about that.”
