The interaction that led to Tatum’s ejection (📸: @BriMarieD on X)



A grown man getting your feelings hurt this badly is insane.

    Never seen Tatum this pissed before. Out of character

  2. thetruth0102

    JT hurt CJ Washington’s feelings for not doing his job properly

  3. Jordanwolf98

    That’s the only thing Whitmore’s had to cheer for all night lol

  4. timboslice420

    Waited for his back to be turned. Typical NBA referee softness.

    Lol cam TWITmore, dude you are down like 30 and you are clapping this shit

  6. I thought load management was looked down on by the NBA now we got the refs doing it? Shit is getting ridiculous!

  7. Remember: Lebron threw a hysterical tantrum on national TV on this same floor and got nothing for it.

    That little twerp clapping for an ejection on someone else’s home court. What a tough guy.

  9. Trying to figure who can do their job wrong more and keep it. Weathermen or referees.

    JT is lucky not to be banned from the league. I saw Jayson blink his eyes *at least* once. I had to remove my family from the room when he did that.

  11. I’ll never understand getting a call wrong then throwing a guy out for being pissed about it

    David stern wonders why the league is losing money, that’s why. People pay good money to come watch these athletes play and the refs try and take over the fucking game

    Hope JT called him out for being the little bbb he is

    I’ve said it a few times since our team openly called out the officials after the Pacers debacle but we will not get a favorable whistle the rest of the year and there have been a handful of calls in the Minnesota and bucks games to confirm that and now another quick Tatum ejection this game.

  15. Huge “refs you suck” chant when play resumed… Which was awesome.

  16. donttradejaylen

    Cam Whitmore on Houston clapping like it’s not a blowout 💀

  17. loving-father-69

    How is that not a tech on Whitmore celebrating and taunting?

    What a garbage no-call on that dunk attempt. Ref should just be like “my bad” and they can move on. Instead of the fake tough guy act

    Yall may hate on me for this but I haven’t watched a single game this year. Because of the refs. I’m like Tommy when it comes to the refs and I just can’t do it anymore. It gets to me too much. I’m not trying to watch the NRA. (National Ref Association). I’m trying to watch dudes play basketball. The NBA. I’m sick of the refs doing this, I’m sick of the refs treating the rulebook like it doesn’t exist and they can just decide what is and isn’t a foul, travel, or whatever just based on their feelings at the time and who the call would be against. Its fucked. Its completely fucked. And that is all without even mentioning gambling, Scott Foster, or Tim Donaghy (or whatever that crooked ref’s name is)

    Refs are so soft and in their feelings. You can’t show any displeasure towards them when they make bad calls.

  21. This is softer than it had any right to be

    It seems so weird that NBA refs are able to escalate player unhappiness at a decision to a double tech in such a small span of time

    Most other sports have refs going for de-escalation to maintain respect for the game

    Easiest solution would be: no two techs in a row for a ref: a ref can give a second tech only after a timeout after the first one

    If players like JT keep contesting then of course another ref can give him the second tech

    But at least it’ll remove some ego issues of just one single ref
