Bullshit call
lmaooooo
un-eject him!
BS call, but gotta stop complaining like Lebron. Arguing about a review is meaningless it won’t do yourself any favors. Gotta choose your fights and not complain to the ref about every call that doesn’t go your way
Refs were mad at him for showing them up and so pulled their usual power play. Fuck. The. Refs.
Don’t they review the fucking play in the fucking stadium? What’s the fucking point of a referee in person if they’re going to be shit regardless?
I am not fucking mad ^T^M
Tech, sure whatever. But to call that a flagrant was absurd.
No crap, nothing malicious about it, a common act
It feels like Tatum leads the league in downgraded/rescinded calls.
It was an obvious flop but they had to pile on Tatum at that moment
There’s a shocker.
It’s never been more clear in the history of the NBA how bad the quality of the referees has gotten. We’re not supposed to notice these fucking guys to begin with…
All the referees involved should be heavily fined. Why are they continuously allowed to make such amateur mistakes. They should also be taken off their next few assignments. It’s time for reffing to be criticized and punished as much as the players are.
Good they were right to fix it. But he also can chill with charging in, going low, then throwing his hands up. Amazing player but I’m tired of seeing that multiple times a night from him
That’s why they took the time before announcing the call. They were discussing how to upgrade it into a flagrant. Those two refs are soft as hell.
Why don’t they downgrade those refs to cheerdancers?
Softest ejection in the history of the NBA.
Lol. Lmao, even.
LMAOOOOOOO
Have the refs been downgraded to peanut vendors?
This is **not** a one-off “oopsie.” There’s a fucking problem here.
Ya don’t fuckn say!
Are they crying on R/nba over this?
So embarrassing for the league honestly, when your refs look at this for literally 8 mins and upgrade it just for it to be downgraded the next day. They really wanted to stick it to Tatum, super unprofessional.
