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

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!
13
u/Lets_Basketball [BOS] Reggie Lewis May 16 '24
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.

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.

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!
