Will he be suspended? Love Morris but he should have just left after the ejection without touching the reg like  that.

Morris reminds me a lot of rasheed wallace in playstyle and emotions

Nothing to see here.  Not suspension worthy at all.

The tech was bogus anyways. He told whoever it was on Toronto to drop it and gets T'd up, I was honestly surprised he took it that well

[KGs Knee]

Hard to see the league not giving him a suspension.  However innocent it may have seemed, Morris still made contact with an official, and immediately after being ejected.

I'll be surprised if he isn't suspended for 1 game.

Rozier's smirk after it happens 

Milwaukee should be a walk in the park unless Giannis goes for 50, Mook can rest.

I thought he was saying, "Try me, try me"..  Either way, weird ejection.

I've seen players grab refs to turn them so they can talk to them. Thats way worse than what Morris did. Its was just a love smack on the butt for a good call.

Yeah, I'm not sure what Scal was looking at. He was saying "try me" and talking to Ibaka, not DeRozan.

The league can of course suspend him, there was contact, but in truth the often stated rule that any contact results in a suspension isn't totally accurate. Players touch refs all the time, hand on shoulder, pat on back etc. What is totally forbidden is any aggressive or angry contact, e.g. bumping or pushing. Morris' butt pat here is a bit of a grey area, it's not totally innocent, but it's clearly not aggressive or challenging. It's more sarcastic than anything else. I suppose it depends on whether or not the league wants to prevent that kind of thing in the future.

Quincy Acy unintentionally swung at a ref in his "fight" against Andre Drummond. Both players ejected. I expect Acy to be suspended for a game or two.

Morris slapping a ref on the rear on his way out was intentional. I also expect at least one game suspension. I'll be surprised if he just gets slapped with a fine, tho lol.

Good to see some toughness in this team in terms of attitudes. Players getting technical fouls and ejections. Bring back those Kendrick Perkins/Kevin Garnett/Rasheed Wallace type enforcers. Out with the soft Olynyks/Thomases/Bradleys. In with the Morris/Baynes/Monroe guys.

I have a feeling this conversation would be going down differently if it was Lauren Holtkamp.

Miss me with that gay Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline...

[Ogaju]

It was a gentle tap, but it sure freaked out that ref.

[SHAQATTACK]

10K fine for touching the booty .

Haha I'm pretty sure athletes patting each other on the rear doesn't fall into the gay category.
