Oh, Tatum still out there.

And after looking at the replay of an obvious foul, I am trippling down on my comments..

JT gets the absolute WORST whistle of any superstar in the league. The WORST.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

He got foul on the first two, but that last one was a good block. Defender hit the ball first and hit his hand on follow through, but generally if you get ball first its a good block.

It looks like our point differential of 14.6 at home is gonna go up even more.

I'd have to see it again, but it looked like he got ball first to me.

Refs really suck on this one.

JT clearly got fouled.

I wish they'd bring Walsh down more occasionally, for nights like these.

Did anyone understand what the crowd was chanting after Tatum's ejection?

I'm not one to quickly criticize the coach, but, how Joe did not see that escalating and take action to avoid that ejection is pretty poor game management. Willing to listen to counter-argument regarding the score playing a significant part of Joe's play there.

It's true. He needs to get some tutoring from James Harden.

Generally true, but some nights they're a lot better than others. Tonight is one of those.

The refs and their ongoing feud with Jayson Tatum are really something else. This guy might be the nicest superstar in the league and somehow this continues to happen anyways.

Cs lose 33 to the Bucks only to take it back the next game. My sacred Net Rating and SRS are about to go up again.

At least that guarantees JT will not exceed 30 minutes of playing time.
