Even well after the Murray incident, Gordon was handed a technical foul because a whole season’s worth of pent-up frustration at Nikola Jokic no-calls finally caused him to snap. “I think they’re just draped all over Joker. I think they’re just hacking him. They’re hacking,” Gordon said. “Yeah, and just not being able to communicate with the officials is frustrating as well. When you have to ask them a question and they don’t even look at you, they don’t even acknowledge you, very frustrating. And I think they’re hacking Joker. I think he’s been getting fouled all year. I don’t think he shoots nearly enough free throws, of what he should shoot. So yeah, it was just frustrating. I don’t like seeing my big fella get hacked with no calls.” -via Denver Post / May 7, 2024
