Luka Doncic has been waiting a long time for his debut tonight (Monday through Tuesday) in the NBA Playoffs. The Slovenian star almost once again managed to make sensations, this time with 42 points and a record for a player in a playoff debut, but the dismissal of his good friend, Kristeps Forzingis in the third quarter, somewhat ruined Dallas' plans, which at the end of a fascinating 48 minutes surrendered 118: 110 against the Clippers. Kwai and George.

9:10 minutes to the end of the third quarter, following an 'over-intervention' in a confrontation that developed between Luka Doncic and Marcus Morris, the Mavericks' chin pushed / pushed himself and suffered a second technical foul and was sent off, probably in a too hasty decision by the referees. Technically from the first half.

Man that was BOGUS AS HELL MAN !!!!! Cmon man

Even before the game was over, the decision of the referees, who chose to award a double technical foul to Forzingis and Morris, managed to disturb the peace of mind of the commentators and also of the league stars, who rushed to tweet on the net. Dirk Nowitzki expressed his opinion: "This dismissal was super soft." And LeBron James, who watched the game from his room in a bubble in Orlando, responded: "It's not real, come on ...".

One of the referees, Kane Fitzgerald, responded to the criticism and tried to explain the decision: "We looked at the incident quite a bit in replay, and Forzingis hit the winds. Just like in the constitution, he suffered a technical foul and because it was his second in the game, he was sent off."

Doncic, for whom Forzingis came out in defense and was in fact sent off because of "permit membership," also recounted what happened on the floor: "The whole team appreciated his move. It's not just me. Christophs just kept my back. I did not think it was fair. To keep him away, certainly not in a playoff game. I did not understand why he was sent out .. ".

Also on the other side acted fairly when Marcus Morris said honestly: "I did not think it was a whistle for a technical foul. It was not worth it. I wish he would have continued to play. This is the playoffs, no one should be sent off in the playoffs. Anyway, not me I hit his team. "
