NBA Twitter reacts to Nikola Jokic’s ejection in Game 2
Frustrated for not getting enough calls from the officials, Nikola Jokic got two technical fouls and was eventually ejected from Game 2 between the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors (106-126).
Draymond Green was the first to react to The Joker’s ejection, waving goodbye to him, and as always, NBA Twitter had a lot to say as well.

I'm not sure what his DBPM+ is so I'm sure folks will tell me I'm wrong, but Draymond Green has been the best defender in basketball for damn near a decade now.
Only healthy Kawhi has even come close, but Draymond has been the gold standard for who I'd want in a big game.

If anything, this beatdown only confirms how good Nikola Jokic is to get these Nuggets to 48 wins. That being said, Jokic has to handle playoff adversity better. Denver feeds off him. He’s let his emotions get the best of him the past two postseasons. This is supposed to be hard.
