[Weiss] Jayson Tatum: “Again, I wasn’t that fucking mad. Don’t put that narrative out there. I didn’t throw nothing. I said what I said. There was no magic words.”

    i’m not mad, please don’t put it in the newspaper that I got mad

    Entire thread full of people reacting to the ejection thought he must have said something really bad because he wasn’t really that animated.

    Meanwhile, the Pool Report blamed “overt gestures”.

    He had both hands besides his body when they called that T.

    Refs really just make shit up.

    Bill Kennedy is the most senior ref and knew Jayson venting wasn’t tech worthy these younger refs are just in their feelings and it’s a issue

    Kind of like how Klay definitely doesn’t care what people think right

  5. Timoteo-Tito64

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen/heard him this angry

  6. Smellmyhand

    lol I get it. It’s frustrating when you ain’t even tripping and people think you’re mad. The internet is gonna clown though

    Don’t blame him

    Never seen someone get so many techs for no rational reason.

    He was ejected based on his “blatant gestures”, yet he made no gestures? Makes no sense. Meanwhile, Beverly can throw a fit jumping in the air, waving his arms around and complaining and gets no T.

  8. I mean he’d be justified in being mad if he were. There have been WAY too many uncalled for techs and ejections already this year, which has been particularly rich given the new resting policy all but forcing players to be on the court. How can Adam Silver really expect teams/players to respect and care to treat that policy with good faith when his refs are ejecting the same star players for being frustrated or complaining?? Like be serious.

    Tatum, CP, Giannis, Jokic and Klay have now all been ejected from games already this season when they shouldn’t have been. And we’re not even 20 games in. Just as fans don’t pay to go to games just to watch their favorite players rest on the bench, they don’t pay to watch them be ejected because a ref’s ego was slighted.

  9. Bunch of new refs got hired and they are all jumpy and have quick whistles because the game moves way too fast for them.

    “I didn’t do that shit” – Man who definitely did that shit.

  11. If you listen to the video of it, he was kind of laughing while he said it, kind of joking. The quote makes it sounds worse

  12. date_a_languager

    If “…I just think it’s funny that” was a person lmao

  13. igonnawrecku_VGC

    Me praying he drops 40 on Monday because of this

  14. JustWinBabys

    Tatum’s whistle gonna be so bad from here on out

  15. noochies99

    When I see Jason Tatum act out, it sets a bad example for Deuce, the refs are just helping him parent and show acting out has consequences unless you’re dRaymond

  16. DigOlBick99

    I FUCKING WASN’T FUCKING MAD GOD DAMNIT YOU MOTHERFUCKER

  17. Jack_M_Steel

    Two refs gave him a technical at literally the same time. He clearly crossed the line or else they both wouldn’t do it in unison
