It was after the whistle...why is he supposed to care if Tatum shoots at that point?

Bam wasn't even looking at Tatum when Tatum landed. He was turned completely around. At 6'9 if Bam had eyes in the back of his head he should be the second coming of Magic Johnson.

SVG also said Draymond's hit on Nurkic was unintentional. Honestly I find Reggie more tolerable than him sometimes. TNT should look into a Van Gundy swap.

Tatum ain't commit the foul.

Soft take to blame Tatum for doing what thousands of players do a year.

Can't step under a shooting player. That's how the NBA works.

Why is Bam contesting? Bam is lucky he didn’t get tossed for doing that.

Embiid and Bam are such similar players with their antics. Its insane. No other guys get away with the dirtiness and moving screens.

People defending that play are weird. These are professional athletes. They have incredible body control, awareness and agility. They know how to close out with one foot under the guys landing spot... and they know how to "go wide" with their close out. I question if a lot of you have ever been athletic or played ball.

Yes Joel is a big flopper and deserves to get called for it.
You keep thinking I’m a sixers so the joke is on you.

once again Celtics face an opponent missing multiple key players in the playoffs. At least Porzingis went down to somewhat even the odds

Heat continue to be the dirtiest team in the league. Already injured Tatum ankle once before

SVG is the absolute worst. They’ve dominated the heat all game but has trashed the Celtics and praised the Heat as if they did anything in this game besides being dirty
