Here we go again. 3rd time is the charm to win in the 4th?

Ya if they actually called this consistently he’d be in foul trouble so quick every game

He still hasn't learned how to chicken wing it. He always FULLY extends his arm and when they see it at a clear angle like that it is the easiest call to make. Dude needs to watch Kawhi tape on it. Treat it like a jab not a haymaker.

If they are going to call every flop by the pacers a foul on the celtics, then the pacers will win this game.

Boston just showing me why I have Dallas beating them in 7.

They lack killer instinct. No Hali and they struggling to close them out for the sweep.

Better than Stern, so you're wrong.


Nah, not even close. NBA rulebook is the wild west now. Product on the court continues to get worse and no consistency at all in the way refs legislate which is a direct line back to Silver.

Everyone does. It happens dozens of times a game every game, it's not a Tatum thing.

Imagine how bad your hand-eye coordiantion needs to be to "go for the ball" by sticking it through the guy's arms and behind it

no one EVER goes for a block like that, anyone defending this is being 100% disingenuous :lol:


They defend that but say Caleb Martin being shoved into Tatum by a Celtic was dirty by Martin. You can't make that BS up! :lol:

Brown is the only one on the roster with that "motherf#$ker" in him but Tatum is supposed to be that guy

But Tatum and sga seem to implement it a lot more egregiously than other players
