I've seen on multiple occassions in these playoffs, Mathurin taking a cheap shot on another player.
The latest being him walking up to Dort at the free throw line and slapping his face (?) after he had been slapped in the ear by Siakim on his drive to the hoop.
WTF with this guy? When he came into the league I was intrigued by his athleticism, but dang he dirty.

Yeah Mathurin got some payback in the 4th Q and I was loving every minute of it

He has a really bad temper. You can see it. I also loved his motor in Game 7. That guy didn't stop playing till the bitter end. Just aggressively went after the ball and straight to the basket on every player when the rest of the players floundered without Haliburton pushing the ball and feeding them. Didn't work, but my gosh he was definitely going after it.

Mathurin sucker punched Hunter in the first round to get under his skin.

We need players who will check players like Mathurin.

Dude blindsided Shamet in the ECF and as he's rolling on the floor in pain, BM throws the "too small" over the top of him.

Initial play probably accidental, but the classlessness shined through.

Was going to say - would love to have this dirty player as a 6th man scorer on Knicks.

I'll assume PJ Tucker has taken some cheap shots on players once or twice in his career.

Its been a while since the Knicks looked for an "enforcer". League is getting more physical, so maybe we need one.

He is getting on in years. Just not Dillon Brooks, that would depress me lol.

Love Adams and he’s supposed to be gentle Giant off court.

I also wanted Steve Adams. The other guy i think would be a good fit here would be Capela.
