League reached out and told him that’s not allowed, fwiw. So you’re kind of making the point against Bam here with this lol

38 points for Derrick White. He's gonna do that again at some point in these playoffs.

You’re right.

Next time there’s a dead ball Tatum should just go up to Bam and nut punch him.

It’s a dead ball anyway so it doesn’t count, right?

That’s effectively what you’re saying.

Even though he's a legitimate player who does this all the damn time.

You keep thinking I’m a sixers so the joke is on you.

i never said you were. i just remember you (i think) defending joel pull mitch out of mid air


I just don’t approve of soft calls in the playoffs. It’s always been a different sport at this time of the year.

As long as no one dies it’s fair game imo

So many people triggered in this thread lol. Hilarious. RealGM never changes no matter the year, same old kids rage quitting on an internet forum over a result of basketball where their own team isn't even playing. :lol:

Heat got almost $60 million in salary out. They're toast. Celtics would be too if 1st and 4th highest paid players were out the entire series. I don't think there's any current NBA team who could win a playoff series under that scenario.

“Soft call”

“Tatum stop crying”

Imagine if a big ass 6’9 steps on your ankles shooting. Bam is a known dirty play further proving it with that play.

Nobody said you can’t contest a shot during a dead ball but if you lean in and commit a flagrant foul you’re brain dead if you think that’s simply nothing

Draymond should kick someone in the balls next time during a dead ball since it didn’t happen during game time

If this celtics team ends up as soft as their fans, they won’t win a ring.

Bam knew what he was doing sliding his feet underneath. Dirty POS.

Physicality is NOT taking out guys in vulnerable defenseless positions. Elbows to the face, undercuts, twisting someone's limp, stepping on someone on the ground, nut shots, sticking a foot out in the landing zone are not physical. They are dirty.

Physical is making a hard play on the ball to not let the guy get the shot off. It's physical positioning in the paint. Some of you are clueless. Hand-checking. Tough blocking out.

Did Bam step on Tatum's ankles or did Bam slide his feet under Tatum and not give Tatum space to land? Seems physically impossible for a person to step on someone's ankle while sliding their feet under someone at the same time.

Well congrats Celtics looks like you've got this one. Hopefully KP isn't hurt too badly.
