Cory Joseph, the aggrieved party in the latest drama in the NBA Eastern Conference semifinal featuring the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat, perfectly summed up the league’s decision to retroactively hit Goran Dragic with a technical foul late in Monday’s Game 4.
“Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Didn’t happen,” Joseph said this morning.
After reviewing the play with just over two minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the league assessed Dragic a technical on a play that originally went uncalled.
The Heat point guard violently swung his arm in the direction of Joseph’s chin after the two jostled for position under the basket; the level of contact is impossible to discern from video replay.
