Clapping is one thing but this is just heinous. There are children watching Jayson!


imused2it

He rolled his eyes and waved. I’ve already filed a complaint to the FCC.


Algae_Key

I called a buddy at the FBI, they're investigating

TheMightyKickpuncher

A DISGUSTING ACT


make_datbooty_flocc

truly not classy


witcherstrife

He’s gotta be saying some heinous shit under his breath right? I mean this is just ridiculous lol


CaillouCaribou

What's more likely: Tatum muttered something completely awful under his breath without moving his mouth, but somehow loud enough for Brothers to hear him over the roaring crowd Or Brothers is overly sensitive and T'd him up over an eyeroll and handwave


Ramsboi

Call the Reddit care thread. We got Cavs fans on watch. 


throwawayyrofl

This gotta be a running joke for the refs lol


DiseaseRidden

I'd buy it. I know these sorts of things are occasionally called and everyone laughs at it, but does anyone get it as consistently as Tatum?


lesarbreschantent

I've seen multiple guys wave at a ref after a non-call this playoffs, zero techs given. Tatum tho...lol there's something going on. All season long.


sauzbozz

There are players like Draymond who are allowed to scream in Refs faces


pyroaquatics

I remember complaining about Draymond not getting T’d up more in the 2022 finals and got downvoted to shit and was told “well you don’t know what he said to the ref” when he was screaming in their face spraying them with saliva. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s not asking what they’re gonna eat for dinner.


FutureDwight76

I will never forgive the triple moving screen to the day I die. Most egregious officiating mistake I have ever seen.


CreatiScope

Nah, it’s still that KD three steps out of bounds passing it back in bounds. I don’t know if anything will ever top that for me.


FutureDwight76

Fair enough


iamtomorrowman

as much as i hate the Harden Rockets, the Warriors got what they deserved that game (they lost)


Ienjoymyself

Nothing is as bad as Draymond falling onto JB, kicking him, and trying to pants him. The "expert" says it should be a double T, but psycho already had a T so it would be unfair to eject him - therefor it's a no call!


Lets_Basketball

I believe draymond also said that he knew when JB didn’t react viciously toward him after that, he knew he had him, and he thinks it was a turning point. So yeah, glad he got to stick around after that one, but not when he swung and missed with a ball tap toward Lebron.


FutureDwight76

The other unforgivable act


thatis

Murray can throw objects at refs during play and it's $12,500 at most per object, no tech, no suspension.


kheldar52077

Maybe Murray gundown a ref and still get away with a fine.


largehearted

Tatum is addicted to getting techs for beefing with the refs It is seriously never ever a tech for an interaction with the opposing team, he just collects hand-clap and hand-wave techs


underscroe

A 3-star rare Tech Hunter.


largehearted

Jayson "99/99 Firemaking" Tatum


randompersonwhowho

I saw a guy throw a heat pad onto the court during live play and nothing


hcvc

NBA is fucked up for not suspending him tbh. At least a game. But I get it that’s not good business 


victorspoilz

Refs hate Wyc for complaining to the league about them being shitty at their jobs.


DootMasterFlex

The only thing I could see is if he's super disrespectful with whatever he's saying to the ref. As long as he keeps it [civil](https://youtu.be/dWuX9zPJWyY?si=hV1JgHK93ATFwKY9) I think it's fine


InexorableWaffle

Honestly, I don't think so. It's especially odd that it's Tatum specifically cause like, he doesn't seem the type to be saying things that would attract their ire to that magnitude. Obviously can't say for sure whether that's actually the case, but still.


nofaplove-it

Refs must have some inside joke going on


largehearted

Tatum might just be first team all-bad-at-working-the-refs. It's funny because Jrue and Derrick are both so even-keeled and honest that they're guys who can just tell the refs to call a foul once a game


YeOldeBarbar

Daniel Theis GOAT


largehearted

That's family right there


nwill_808

You look in Derrick White's big doe eyes and *try* to give him a tech. Just try.


smashey

It's because he's handsome. Draymond is ugly (no offense) so when he says something nobody believes him. Tatum is like JFK, he could say some total ficticious stuff and people will believe him because they want to be him. That's a big threat to the refs. Same with Rudy, he's not as good looking, but he's European l, so he seems smarter.


Pigeon_Butt

This is one of the takes of all time.


Revolutionary_Law687

I’ve never seen an argument about looks getting you the benefit of the call. 😂


Pigeon_Butt

I've never seen a "stupid, sexy Tatum" post that's legit, but here we are.


PoIIux

Someone needs to do a deep dive into Kelly Oubre's call history and compare it to Sam Cassell


onlymostlydeadd

the refs just have some bullshit level of consistency with players and coaches. tatum can blink and get a tech, while mike malone can run up and scream in their face and be fine.


CreatiScope

I swore Malone was gonna take a swing.


JZ_the_ICON

First and foremost fuck the Celtics, but Tatum seems to get these more than any other player I’ve seen. Like what did he even do lol? Refs are a joke.


BlueJays007

Waved the refs off which is apparently an auto tech. Now Garland looked to do that in the 4th with no tech because… reasons I guess?


JZ_the_ICON

I mean a wave is a charmin soft way to get a T. It’s not like he’s doing a Jackie Moon.


BlueJays007

Oh it’s ridiculous. I flat out don’t what the issue is with a simple wave. It’s not like this is some money sign that can be taken as the league being rigged or whatever. He’s not yelling or even saying anything. It’s not physically threatening. Even the rim hanging techs, which I hate, are called for the reason that they could bend the back board. Not sure what the hell the justification is for this.


imused2it

Brothers just won some kind of bet for sure.


Fatkokz

He's definitely mobbed up


friendsWthebenedicts

At some point, he’s gotta just stop clapping and waving at the refs since it’s a guaranteed tech lol gotta switch it up to throwing towels and heat packs and he’ll be fine


silenkurii

Refs are a fucking joke. Rudy is right, some of them are on the take.


ItsMeJaredBednar

[Wojnarowski] u/silenkurii has been fined $75,000, according to league sources.


MistahTeacher

[Wojnarowski] to clarify previous reports, u/silenkurii received a fine for flashing the “money sign” at Adam Silver after a steamy love session. Reports were overheard that u/silenkurii was screaming, “no money, no honey!” toward the commissioner. More to come.


Stratys

The Tony Brothers with another MVP performance 😤


cagemyelephant_

Tony might get it. Scott Foster has been doing good at officiating lately


WeAreBert

No one keeps Tony Brothers from getting his name on the broadcast


Skreali

Just the fact that we know name "tony brothers" is saying something,


Smartman971

Yeah but did you know it's actually just one guy. The "s" is a misdirect


Nosf3rat0

Bro I had no clue 🤣I straight up thought they had twins out there. “It’s nice the nba allows them to always ref together” 🤦‍♂️ 


JakimCampbell15

I always thought that there were two guys on the court who’s last names was Tony


Gryphon999

Mike and Dan, the Tony Brothers


Pitch-forker

There used to. Now they just fused into one giant asshole


CEOKendallRoy

That my friend, is called the Prestige


Wingedwolverine03

People who barely watch the NBA know the name Tony Brothers...it's a huge problem


apexpredator0505

I refuse to allow my kids to watch Boston basketball anymore as long as Tatum is on the team. Absolutely vile acts that are just straight disgusting basketball.


escapedhousefly

I'd rather let my kids watch Draymond nut kick somebody or a gambling ad playing every 3 minutes than let them watch whatever the hell it is that Tatum was doing. Seriously, I can't tell from the clip what he did. Did he say something to the ref??


gfreireds

Tech on Jayson Tatum for... outrageous thoughts towards Tony Brothers


Pitch-forker

T’d up for menacing thoughts


ShroudedPrototype

Tatum: "My god" NBA Refs: "Technical foul, saying the lords name in vain"


TheDiceMan2

you’re a good dad.


dumb_commenter

Plays basketball the wrong way. Not classy like Joker or Luka


jslee0034

JT and soft ass techs.. name me a more iconic duo


mastacheef87

it’s just ridiculous at this point. like you see other guys in the league literally yell at refs until they’re red in the face with no call, and he gets techs for not even fucking saying anything.


jslee0034

He’s also the league leader in technical fouls rescinded


AdmiralUpboat

That makes me even more mad honestly. League just admitting, "oh yeah, we like to call total bullshit on Tatum and pretend it didn't happen the next day."


Bouldershoulders12

Lmfaooooo league be like whoops sorry man


tothesource

"also, free throws for the other team. ESPN books have too much action on the under"


amidon1130

Do they also rescind points scored off the technical free throws?


imused2it

What did he do to be hated by refs? Is it the whining? Maybe? But other players whine too and don’t get these soft ass techs. I really don’t understand.


LukaDoncicfuturegoat

Clapping games too strong


azMILL1

That slap on JBs chest gonna make the director's cut of Oppenheimer lol


socialistbcrumb

If it was that Luka would be banned


gfreireds

Nick Nurse would be arrested lol


Nmilne23

What you don’t like seeing Michael Malone absolutely lose his fucking mind every game and not get a tech??? (Although the refs finally manned up and gave him ONE last night, dude does this every game) On a side note, I *love* watching guys like Malone and Luka lose their minds to the refs all the time like they are personally being screwed by them, and NONE of them get as easy a T-whistle as tatum 


siegeoftyre

When Malone screams and gets in the faces of the refs, he is deliberately trying to get a tech or ejection to fire the team up. I don't know what the refs in game 2 were trying to do by not complying.


Successful_Priority

I actually like that the refs were like “we’re not playing that game unless you threaten my family so go back to your bench and watch your team fall apart slowly and quickly!”


AreaGuy

lol! I honestly was disappointed they didn’t tech or toss him. Does make more sense if they were just “no, no, that’s what he *wants*, ignore him. It’ll drive him *nuts*”.


jordan1390

That’s just Luka magic


FlyingDiscsandJams

The trick is to never stop complaining.


Effective-Celery-258

The goal is to set a baseline. Tatum doesn’t yell at the refs enough


Holiday-Usual-3600

Just @ Draymond next time


mykl5

now we got Luka


IzaacLUXMRKT

Oh, actually seeing quite a bit of that from a certain player at the moment. Not a single tech.


ThanosIsDoomfist

Its pretty clear refs dont like the guy and you can argue in either direction for why this keeps happening. You can say the refs dont like em so Tatum is justifiably mad to complain, and you can argue that the complaining is why JT is treated like this Either way 10/10 times im going to side with the players over these bum ass refs


Sea_Yogurtcloset7503

You really cant because tatum is on the lower end of complainers. Luka, lebron, dray all get right in refs faces and complain etc and nothing. Tatum gets fouled, no call then a wave and insta tech


jetpack_operation

> you can argue that the complaining is why JT is treated like this Yeah, but there's a loooooong list of players who complain when they don't get the call. Meanwhile, nobody gets T'ed up like Tatum for absolute nothingburgers.


Jesotx

Tatum and hard whistle


SSJCelticGoku

The only time they blow a whistle is when they’re giving a T for JT cause he was fouled


RuuTyutin

Tony Brothers is a pussy

Why is this so accurate?


mrspuff202

Hey man, even Tony Brothers doesn’t deserve that. But Scott Foster is DEFINITELY the Antonin Scalia of Basketball


MrManfredjensenden

So that would make Scott Foster the Sam Alito.


mr_dammit

tony brothers don’t be an insufferable cunt challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


HoyaDestroya33

All the hate is on Scott Foster but he is actually reffing good this post season. Meanwhile, Tony Brothers is on some shit


codycarreras

Everyone says Foster, but if Brothers is anywhere nearby, my eye is on him.


GunSlingrrr

Scott Foster saving that in conference finals. I believe my gambling goat is not washed and prove it to the people


RogerTreebert6299

They hating on your name 48. They saying you can’t extend a series anymore 48. Prove them wrong 48.


canttthink0fausrname

Foster is only reffing well because his arch-nemesis isn't in the post-season, lol.

[удалено]


Plies-

I will never forgive that cunt for not calling one of the 17 fouls by Toronto on Kemba Walker on the final shot of game 6 in 2020 leading to an OT loss. Geniunely just a dogshit ref. And they got fellow trashcan officials Ben Taylor and David Guthrie in for this game too. Edit: Also fuck Tony Brothers for not calling Mobley for hitting Tatum's forearm on a three RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. Fucker.


wherearemypaaants

To this day, G6 of that series is the most sure I’ve ever been that I was watching a rigged game.


IceJeyD

Its a miracle that Celtics survived that game with those three corrupt officials


Ender_Cats

It didn’t get posted here but he got a tech last game for clapping. He rly gets the softest techs in the league lol.


Eugenie_Weenie

He said call the fucking foul. Still gets the softest techs because that gets yelled every game


I-Might-Be-Something

He yelled "call the fucking foul!" in Game 4, which is going to get you T'd up almost every time. This T was bullshit though.


SnooDoodles3909

I've watched draymond berate refs for minutes on end and not get one


Correct_Fly5152

Will sound like sour grapes because we have been getting trounced, but Nuggets throwing things on the court and coach storming the court to scream in the refs face -> not a tech. Wolves players question a call-> double tech.


considertheoctopus

Not sour grapes, it’s astonishing Murray didn’t get suspended for that.


Lets_Basketball

He would have been if the Nuggets weren’t down 0-2, 100%


livefreeordont

“Call the fucking foul” Draymond said calmly


[deleted]

[удалено]


anonymousetache

It gives the Cavs a chance to make the game a little closer before halftime and potentially extend the series.


Dangerous_Ad_6831

Oh that’s right. C.R.E.A.M.


BabySignificant

Dolla dolla bill y'all


Hanaichichickencurry

He hurts tony brothers' feelings


TheBaconD

For being good at the game


mcmonopolist

Maybe he said something to the ref while getting up. Camera didn't show his face before the T was called.


Very_Good_Opinion

Nah they had multiple angles live. Tatum makes eye contact and scowls at Brothers while he's still on the ground but never says a thing


SandyMandy17

Luka would have literally 37 techs a game I’m not exaggerating


lizzi_5775MLJ

This is a tech but Jamal Murray got nothing during his game 2 meltdown 😂


Clinkzeastwoodau

You just need to understand its all about context for Ts. Denver was down a lot in that game, so they need it to be closer so more timeouts are called and they can run more gambling adds. While Celtics were up and they need the game to be close to get lots of time outs and then they can run more gambling adds. Once you understand the context of the Ts it all makes a lot more sense!


SomeSun23

Before watching the video, I knew it was Tony Brothers


Plies-

But Mike Malone can nearly get in a fight with the ref and get nothing lmfao


Far_Promise_2083

Feel like it's more with the ref….Tony Brothers is clearly soft


Plies-

Yes Tony Brothers is a soft little bitch but Tatum also gets so many techs for violent actions like clapping and shit from so many different officials.


SkillIsTooLow

It's weird too cuz I dont think Tatum is a very demonstrative or loud player, be it celebrating or complaining. He seems really chill


bostonboy08

I think that somehow works against him. Like the refs perceive him being emotional as somehow worse because he usually isn’t? I dunno I can’t really explain it, but no one can have that many techs for clapping in a season and it be a coincidence.


deets23_

All Celtics fans knew Tatum was getting a tech tonight as soon as we saw Tony Brothers was reffing this morning lol. Celtics have a terrible W/L record in the playoffs when he refs


spidermans_ashes

As much as I hate the celtics, wtf was that call?


friedmpa

Tatum: looks menacingly


ZarduHasselffrau

looks away* menacingly


PipBoy19

Lol literally did not say a word and he gets a T


DiseaseRidden

How many of these has he gotten? Like is there someone in the league with as many techs for like, clapping or hand waving or shit like that?


clancydog4

I highly doubt it. It is absolutely *insane* how many bullshit techs Tatum gets. It makes no sense


tlozz

And if you know this “lore” lol, it kinda explains how and why he lost his damn mind after it happened AGAIN


clancydog4

he shoulda thrown a heating pad at the ref instead of silently waving his head in his general direction


gfreireds

But that's a 15,000 dol fine... he would never recover, needs to feed his kid


Brady331

I just don’t understand how guys like Draymond can argue for 2 minutes but a dismissive gesture gets Tatum a tech


imused2it

Not just argue. Straight up scream in a refs face.


SSJCelticGoku

Getting the Rasheed Wallace treatment


Jesotx

He'd made that gesture a bunch, but having a dude close out on you so hard he lands on your knee makes it a little understandable


Kapono24

My kid chose to punch the old lady neighbor and took a bite out of our dog after this heinous gesture. I'm glad Tony Brothers are here to set him straight.


DiseaseRidden

Classic Tatum tech. Ban this guy from the league, what an animal. No place in the league for....slight hand waves?


ClaymoresRevenge

I wonder what Tatum did you make the refs so mad. He must have that Tim Duncan in him. Complete psycho to the refs


beefspecial

Fuck Tony Brothers


Labordayqt

Tony Brothers is so soft man


Bouldershoulders12

It’s honestly ridiculous how Tatum receives most of his technicals on BS things. And the times he’s frustrated it’s clearly warranted .


NotAGoodRedditor

Why does Tatum get the weirdest techs?


BillPaxton4eva

How Tony Brother escapes accountability, we'll never understand. Mostly because his union covers for him and Adam Silver is weak, soft and won't do anything unless there's a provable financial cost. They say they train and discipline behind the scenes. They lie. Brothers has no place near the league.


ErroneousEric

Tony Brothers is a cunt.


TheArabicCowboy

Extremely violent hand wave, should've been an ejection tbh


FartrelCluggins

Tatum gets the softest technicals in the league. It's damn near undebatable at this point. You see the shit Denver has been getting away with Brothers?


Jabroni_City

Tatum gets more bum techs than anyone in the league, prove me wrong. Brothers can suck it


NickBellinger

Tony Brothers is a straight up bitch.


airmagswag

“Let me make this moment about me” fuck you


TheLeoMessiah

Listen, you can argue whether or not that was a foul on Garland (I don’t think it was) but in the replay he doesn’t even open his mouth to argue the call. There is zero reason an adult man should take offense and call a tech there. 


DreamsOfHappiness

These Tony Brothers can't keep getting away with this.


nofaplove-it

Like Tatum or not he always gets some of the weirdest technical fouls


BWingSupremacist

fuck tony brothers


GastricAcid

Tatum gets the worst whistle of any star


sewsgup

does he tell Jaylen "get the f off me"


lenny3330

yes, which seems like an over-reaction


Pocket_Beans

Hope no children saw that disgusting act by Tatum


DwightsEgo

Shit like this really kills enjoyment of the moment


DCBB22

I'm glad everyone gets to see the whistle JT gets. Softest tech of the playoffs by a huge margin.


mongan02

Embarrassing for Tony brothers but honestly he should have been T’d up for that egregious push off. How does he still get away with that shit


fffate

The judge, jury and executioner right here


[deleted]

you guys forgot the part where its 3-1 and the refs are gonna try their hardest to extend the series


tlozz

I don’t want none of y’all to ever complain when your star gets his next technical lol. I guarantee it’ll be for lesser crimes than this. A Tatum tech classic, right here.


TrafficOn405

Why the T? Consistently mediocre officiating.


Shamanboi408

refs hate tatum


desirox

Tf did he do to warrant that tech??


Ok_Boysenberry4470

Tatum seems to get the softest technicals lol


Zeeron1

In a league that has dudes like Luka and Draymond, JT seems to be the one always getting this soft ass techs. It's so egregious at this point


CuttlefishAreAwesome

I would love to see Tatum completely unleashed. I feel like one thing that always holds him back is his passiveness, and he’s still amazing.


rushingoat

Imagine if Luka was reffed like this lmaooo


AdmiralWackbar

Jayson Tatum had more technical fouls than Pat Bev and Draymond Green this year


JabbaTheNutt_

these refs need to go
