Watching the Celtics vs Magic game. And they really called that a technical on Tatum. Because he swung on the rim for .5 seconds? I understand they say “You can’t do that it’s against the rules.” But this is way out of hand. They called one on Sexton last week or so. They ejected Giannis for looking at someone. Can the NBA do something?! This is getting beyond annoying.

I think it’s reasonable for a player - in some instances - to pull themselves up to stop their momentum. Maybe that’s what Porzingis did and the refs called it falsely. But 99% of the time the refs are calling unnecessary pull-ups when the player is not in danger and just excited. I hate those calls as well, but that’s how it’s been officiated since the start of this season.
