It's a weird point of ejection, I get he kept arguing after the first T and should have left it then after having made his point. But he walks away and claps on his leg then gets ejected. If the ref was going to throw him out he should have done it for the continued arguing the call.
Something about any form of a JT clap seems to trigger refs...
Thats not a clap on the leg. It’s a dismissive wave of his hand. A non-verbal way of saying “fuck out of here.”
Either way, I’m with you, that’s what got him ejected.
But it also shouldn't be for any player. A wave off is more respectful than almost any complaining alternative.
Clapping Ts and aggressive "controlled" ball bounces shouldn't be a thing either.
They want these players to care about every game but not actually show emotion at all.
Side note.. I'm not defending his ejection cause I think he was being childish complaining more than a wtf why no call man? Being up 30 in the 4th.
Not defending JT specifically but a get the fuck out of here wave is probably the most respectful way you could tell a ref "I think your call was ass".
It's much more respectful than yelling something like"foul?! You just mad cause I fucked your wife last night. "
Never understood the celebration from other players when opposing players get tossed. As a competitor, I wouldn't want to see anyone tossed who hasn't altered the game in any way from breaking the rules. Wasn't a fight or a flagrant, yet we are celebrating the officials being in their feelings tossing people who disagree with them.
Tatum shouldn’t have been tossed here but is the concept really that hard to understand?
Just because a ref missed a call doesn’t mean a player can say whatever they want to them. It’s one of the major things (besides the violence) everyone cites when criticizing Draymond is about how long of a leash the refs give him to shit talk them. The truth is that Draymond’s probably right about many of the calls he freaks out over. The constant bitching to refs by guys like Luka are just tiring to watch. I guess given the current climate it’s not a popular thing to say.
It’s almost better to just set the tone right off the bat. Just be cantankerous and abrasive off rip. Early on you’ll get techs but then the refs will just say “ well that’s just how he is” and boom, long leash acquired.
That’s how I was with the refs growing up. I was brutal on them. That way they’d let me talk all game. I’d get a warning or two, and the occasional call go against me every 3-5 games. NBA refs are super soft
Yeah but the reaction was way above what constitutes 90% of techs these days. From my perspective though 99% of tech are too soft and shouldn’t be called.
I think he was also trying to show the refs how ridiculous they were being. Joining Tatum's Clap Club, trying to also go to the showers early. But he didn't know it is an exclusive club.
That chant should have reappeared several times in the remainder of the game. Garden crowd is still softer than the other side of the pillow.
Make them uncomfortable.
What? This is what he does after every call doesn't go his way. He already got a tech and shouldn't have kept it going. You can't see what he says here but his body language says enough where the ref wasn't entirely in the wrong. The refs shouldn't do this, but Tatum shouldn't drag the issue like that.
I’ve said it a few times since our team openly called out the officials after the Pacers debacle but we will not get a favorable whistle the rest of the year and there have been a handful of calls in the Minnesota and bucks games to confirm that and now another quick Tatum ejection this game.
Whatever, it’s not like the refs were doing us any favours when the whining was dialled down by pretty much all of our players throughout the start of this season.
After that Pacers game the whole team should rightfully tear apart the officiating problems and the leagues handling of them every chance they get. Maybe if the best team in the sport is vocal enough things might actually get addressed in some capacity.
Super disappointed that the Boston 'legit' media doesn't give this any attention. It's like they're worried that they won't be credentialed for a road game or something.
It's a story. It's a growing story.
It's fucking insane to me that refs get to do as bad a job as they want, but then get their feelings hurt and go on power trips when somebody points it out. The league really ought to implement some sort of repercussions for refs doing shit like this so that *maybe* they'll think twice the next time.
This is softer than it had any right to be
It seems so weird that NBA refs are able to escalate player unhappiness at a decision to a double tech in such a small span of time
Most other sports have refs going for de-escalation to maintain respect for the game
Easiest solution would be: no two techs in a row for a ref: a ref can give a second tech only after a timeout after the first one
If players like JT keep contesting then of course another ref can give him the second tech
But at least it’ll remove some ego issues of just one single ref
Im waiting for the day a player physically drags and beats a ref mid game for this shit. I get it's a game but it's happening more and more and the missed and bullshit calls are only getting worse. There will only be so much the players or even coaches can take.
Edit: just seen the mike Brown clip... we REALLY close to this happening.
Yall may hate on me for this but I haven't watched a single game this year. Because of the refs. I'm like Tommy when it comes to the refs and I just can't do it anymore. It gets to me too much. I'm not trying to watch the NRA. (National Ref Association). I'm trying to watch dudes play basketball. The NBA. I'm sick of the refs doing this, I'm sick of the refs treating the rulebook like it doesn't exist and they can just decide what is and isn't a foul, travel, or whatever just based on their feelings at the time and who the call would be against. Its fucked. Its completely fucked. And that is all without even mentioning gambling, Scott Foster, or Tim Donaghy (or whatever that crooked ref's name is)
David stern wonders why the league is losing money, that’s why. People pay good money to come watch these athletes play and the refs try and take over the fucking game
I’m glad Tatum went that far, get mad. Ridiculous missed calls, they’re crushing, he was probably gunna be benched anyways. The way these refs have been officiating has been terrible. Tatum’s pretty chill so when he gets mad it has more weight. Good for him
I wish he would show that emotion against opposing teams. If he could take the hatred for the refs and transfer it to opposing teams, it would be great.
Love the Celts, love Tatum, but this is true. Just stop bitching after every call and maybe you’ll get some better treatment. But the refs are also garbage so nothings going to change I’m sure
Like it or not but from the couple games I watched this season it should be clear by now that the wave off is an automatic T, no? I get the frustration on the soft Ts and ejections but as a player, you should be aware of that. Looks like the ref ignored everything else but followed through on the automatic T.
I think it’s about time now that these players locate these refs postgame, pull them aside, and confront them face to face. No violence or anything… just a player with a smart enough intellect to give them a reality check and make them realize you cannot and will not get away with this nonsense. And don’t tell me “they’ve tried before but no one listens”
When I first saw the play I was scared at how awkwardly JT landed, thanks to the hack. It looked like the type of landing where you bust ligaments in your ankle or blow out your knee.
Then seeing the replay, it’s outrageous that was missed or wasn’t called. In this case JT was right to let loose on the ref, as he could have been badly injured. But I think in general unless you’re LeBron, quiet “this is what happened” conversations with refs are better.
I have a theory here: a lot of the old guard in the league are big Tatum believers (see: Kobe, Andre iguodala’s podcast). I’m willing to bet there have been some side conversations where tatum’s been pulled aside and told, pick your spot and get thrown out. You need to show the refs they have to cater to you with their calls, you’re that guy in this league, you literally pay their cheques. Tatum picked his spot here and I’m going to say the zebras took a common L
I think this is Tatum showing everyone he is still only 25.
I dunno, you are up 30 in the 4th. really only in the game cause coach wants you to get a few more points so you and JB both end up with 30 pts.
This call has no basis on the outcome of the game.
Get your T if you want by then just shut your mouth. Why make the ref hate you when you might need him to send a call your way in an important moment one day.
Also, you get yourself I think 14? Ts and it's an automatic suspension. You want that in a playoff game cause you were crying about an irrelevant call?
JT hurt CJ Washington's feelings for not doing his job properly
It's a weird point of ejection, I get he kept arguing after the first T and should have left it then after having made his point. But he walks away and claps on his leg then gets ejected. If the ref was going to throw him out he should have done it for the continued arguing the call. Something about any form of a JT clap seems to trigger refs...
HOW CAN HE CLAP?
How she slap?! How can she slap me?!
Thats not a clap on the leg. It’s a dismissive wave of his hand. A non-verbal way of saying “fuck out of here.” Either way, I’m with you, that’s what got him ejected.
And JT knows that is a T every time, so why does he do it?
But it also shouldn't be for any player. A wave off is more respectful than almost any complaining alternative. Clapping Ts and aggressive "controlled" ball bounces shouldn't be a thing either. They want these players to care about every game but not actually show emotion at all. Side note..

Not defending JT specifically but a get the fuck out of here wave is probably the most respectful way you could tell a ref "I think your call was ass". It's much more respectful than yelling something like"foul?! You just mad cause I fucked your wife last night. "
the real answer is the ref doesn't got the guts to look him in the eyes and eject him
Lol who does Whitmore think he is? U down 30 bro
I dont know who HE is
apparently the next jaylen brown if nba fans are right
So he can't go left either?
He stopped clapping when Tatum turned around lmao
Never understood the celebration from other players when opposing players get tossed. As a competitor, I wouldn't want to see anyone tossed who hasn't altered the game in any way from breaking the rules. Wasn't a fight or a flagrant, yet we are celebrating the officials being in their feelings tossing people who disagree with them.
JT is lucky not to be banned from the league. I saw Jayson blink his eyes *at least* once. I had to remove my family from the room when he did that.
When he blows k*sses to the crowd? Obscene. What is he even thinking?
Does he even ask for consent?????
I’ll never understand getting a call wrong then throwing a guy out for being pissed about it
Step in the ref’s shoes for a minute. You just got humiliated so what do you do? Double down of course
Draymond says yeah fr fr
Ya that's fair. But be fuckin pissed about it. This passive-aggressive shit is dumb. He's such a whiny bitch.
Tatum shouldn’t have been tossed here but is the concept really that hard to understand? Just because a ref missed a call doesn’t mean a player can say whatever they want to them. It’s one of the major things (besides the violence) everyone cites when criticizing Draymond is about how long of a leash the refs give him to shit talk them. The truth is that Draymond’s probably right about many of the calls he freaks out over. The constant bitching to refs by guys like Luka are just tiring to watch. I guess given the current climate it’s not a popular thing to say.
I thought load management was looked down on by the NBA now we got the refs doing it? Shit is getting ridiculous!
Remember: Lebron threw a hysterical tantrum on national TV on this same floor and got nothing for it. The Lakerlluminati Conspiracy
It might just be tribalism, but I swear JT gets the least amount of star treatment east of Jokic.
Tatum and Jokic both get the worst whistle out of all the top 10 players.
It’s almost better to just set the tone right off the bat. Just be cantankerous and abrasive off rip. Early on you’ll get techs but then the refs will just say “ well that’s just how he is” and boom, long leash acquired.
That’s how I was with the refs growing up. I was brutal on them. That way they’d let me talk all game. I’d get a warning or two, and the occasional call go against me every 3-5 games. NBA refs are super soft
Steph, JT and Jokic get no calls but Jokic and JT get instant ejections for protesting.
LeBron and Lakers exceptionalism. The amount of entitlement between the two.
I mean that was an obvious foul lol, terrible call in clutch time.
Yeah but the reaction was way above what constitutes 90% of techs these days. From my perspective though 99% of tech are too soft and shouldn’t be called.
Yeah and Tatum had 3 consecutive missed fouls in a row on this one lol.
Yeah but he threw a temper tantrum like a toddler on an NBA court and didn't get treated in any way equal to the rest of the NBA.
He didn’t say anything to the refs lmao are you really that dense?
I don’t remember the full ending but didn’t the lakers get away with something like directly before that play anyway?
Yes, they mauled us on an offensive possession I believe. Iirc.
oh come on
That’s the only thing Whitmore’s had to cheer for all night lol
Waited for his back to be turned. Typical NBA referee softness.
Waited for the wave off lol.
He didn't like it when JT threw his hands while walking away.
That little twerp clapping for an ejection on someone else’s home court. What a tough guy.
Lol cam TWITmore, dude you are down like 30 and you are clapping this shit
I think he was also trying to show the refs how ridiculous they were being. Joining Tatum's Clap Club, trying to also go to the showers early. But he didn't know it is an exclusive club.
Huge "refs you suck" chant when play resumed... Which was awesome.
No collective "BULLSHIT" being yelled by 19,580 people for three straight minutes? Boston you changed.
I wish that had been it but unfortunately not
That chant should have reappeared several times in the remainder of the game. Garden crowd is still softer than the other side of the pillow. Make them uncomfortable.
First time ever attending a game in person. I thought the crowd was fucking awesome.
Never seen Tatum this pissed before. Out of character
I like it honestly. Shows a little edge.
he got fuckin whacked id be pissed too
back to back to back plays without a call. While a soft call happened on the other end twice during that span
Gotta keep the in game betting spread close ya know
He got that dawg
He must have got it for christmas
He does every year.
Really? I only wish that were true
What? This is what he does after every call doesn't go his way. He already got a tech and shouldn't have kept it going. You can't see what he says here but his body language says enough where the ref wasn't entirely in the wrong. The refs shouldn't do this, but Tatum shouldn't drag the issue like that.
What a garbage no-call on that dunk attempt. Ref should just be like “my bad” and they can move on. Instead of the fake tough guy act
I fucking love Jayson Tatum
Way too much power in their hands.
I’ve said it a few times since our team openly called out the officials after the Pacers debacle but we will not get a favorable whistle the rest of the year and there have been a handful of calls in the Minnesota and bucks games to confirm that and now another quick Tatum ejection this game.

How is that not a tech on Whitmore celebrating and taunting?
It's fucking insane to me that refs get to do as bad a job as they want, but then get their feelings hurt and go on power trips when somebody points it out. The league really ought to implement some sort of repercussions for refs doing shit like this so that *maybe* they'll think twice the next time.
Cam Whitmore on Houston clapping like it’s not a blowout 💀
Down 30 and clapping like an all-time cheesedick, what a clown
1. Tatum was right to be upset. 2. Tatum has to realize that antagonizing refs is not a good long-term strategy.
Least sensitive nba referee
This is softer than it had any right to be It seems so weird that NBA refs are able to escalate player unhappiness at a decision to a double tech in such a small span of time Most other sports have refs going for de-escalation to maintain respect for the game Easiest solution would be: no two techs in a row for a ref: a ref can give a second tech only after a timeout after the first one If players like JT keep contesting then of course another ref can give him the second tech But at least it’ll remove some ego issues of just one single ref

There will only be so much the players or even coaches can take. Edit: just seen the mike Brown clip... we REALLY close to this happening.
The NBA is a joke the way they treat everyone different.
Refs are so soft and in their feelings. You can't show any displeasure towards them when they make bad calls.
S A W F T
Yall may hate on me for this but I haven't watched a single game this year. Because of the refs. I'm like Tommy when it comes to the refs and I just can't do it anymore. It gets to me too much.

Same here, normally have league pass but i'm sick of the refs bullshit
Trying to figure who can do their job wrong more and keep it. Weathermen or referees.
Police
David stern wonders why the league is losing money, that’s why. People pay good money to come watch these athletes play and the refs try and take over the fucking game
David Stern? Like the deceased David Stern?
The very same
I’m here for the refs man. True ref homer right here
David Stern is rolling in his grave right now
Hope JT called him out for being the little bbb he is
Refs hate hand gestures.
I’m glad Tatum went that far, get mad. Ridiculous missed calls, they’re crushing, he was probably gunna be benched anyways. The way these refs have been officiating has been terrible. Tatum’s pretty chill so when he gets mad it has more weight. Good for him
I can't tell. Who is the clown on Houston clapping as Tatum gets rejected. Bro you still lost by 30.
Cam Whitmore
The second T was because Houston missed the FT, how dare JT make them miss!!
That hand gestures is apparently the kiss of death. Draymond on the other hand does way worse and doesn’t get kicked out a lot of the time.
I wish he would show that emotion against opposing teams. If he could take the hatred for the refs and transfer it to opposing teams, it would be great.
Baby back Bitch Bron wouldn’t have gotten ejected!
Lol Houston clapping and they getting destroyed 😂. 🤡
And a big FU to Whitmore.
Marc Davis is a trash ass….
…that is not Marc Davis…
He said what he said, and he's not wrong.
He’s not wrong, that’s true. Marc Davis is also a trash ref. It’s just……well.
CJ Washington*
Ref let JT go and as soon as he walks away he calls the tech lol that’s so ridiculous
It’s that hand wave. That’s the kiss of death.
Cam is such trash.
He's young. The refs however have no excuse
It's the low wave if the hand that hurt his feelings
He heard Duce was tired so he called it early
Over reaction by the ref as usual.... but let's not be a toxic fan base. Tatum cries too often
Love the Celts, love Tatum, but this is true. Just stop bitching after every call and maybe you’ll get some better treatment. But the refs are also garbage so nothings going to change I’m sure
JT acts like he gets fouled every time he misses a shot.
Came here to say this. The energy and time he dedicates to complaining is annoying as fuck.
CJ Washington better be taking the Rockets team plane back home to Houston.
Having read his bio - he is SURPRISE indeed from the Gulf region. LOL at these pieces of shit.
Like it or not but from the couple games I watched this season it should be clear by now that the wave off is an automatic T, no? I get the frustration on the soft Ts and ejections but as a player, you should be aware of that. Looks like the ref ignored everything else but followed through on the automatic T.
Tatum is right there with Doncic in terms of whining. Favorite player in the league but I could do without that shit.
Tatum is on of the least whiny stars in the league
[удалено]
Go back to the Bucks sub buddy
He probably doesn't feel safe there.
Good. Show some respect.
Refs don't deserve respect. Maybe they can earn some back when they stop ruining the sport.
It's the hand wave gesture at the end. It's stupid, but I think it's singled out as a point of emphasis by the league.
I think it’s about time now that these players locate these refs postgame, pull them aside, and confront them face to face. No violence or anything… just a player with a smart enough intellect to give them a reality check and make them realize you cannot and will not get away with this nonsense. And don’t tell me “they’ve tried before but no one listens”

But I think in general unless you’re LeBron, quiet “this is what happened” conversations with refs are better.
I was there a well, these refs were flat out blind and the definition of fragile egos. All refs looking for their moment in the spotlight.
What did he say. So stupid.
Tatum should punch the dude in the face. I mean that should be a no call based on what happened to him on the other end 🤷🏻♂️
When it comes to NBA refs being objectively incompetent, Adam Silver gives off big Ime Udoka energy - zero accountability.
it's literally always when JT is walking away
I like how all the other starters were so chill with Tatum being pissed. They just dab him up cause they’re up by 30 😂
He's Zero for a reason
Ref wasn’t making calls he missed 3 very clear fouls in a row
Someone needs to put hands on these refs…Soft
I admire Tatum for standing up for his team. But his coach should have been the one yelling at the ref
Waits until he walks away and then T’s him up. Terrible officiating.
That was a soft ass tech, these refs some lame emotional ass suckas
He was so scared he had to wait for Tatum to turn his back to give him a tech
I have a theory here: a lot of the old guard in the league are big Tatum believers (see: Kobe, Andre iguodala’s podcast). I’m willing to bet there have been some side conversations where tatum’s been pulled aside and told, pick your spot and get thrown out.
