NBA - Main

Tatum has the clap

I love these refs

I saw this video title and thought it might be a series overemphasized claps in front of the ref but one solitary clap? Cmonnn

I don't even like the Celtics, but this is some straight bullshit! The refs are EXTRA shit this year, wtf. I know they "always" suck, but this year is significantly more egregious.

Tatum gets a tech for clapping. Draymond screams constantly and gets warnings until he intentionally hurts someone.

Just NBA things 🤷‍♂️

Refs have the Tatum tapes. They know he's going to clap so they have to play accordingly and clap back. They studied for this.

He was clapping there….MENACINGLY

Worms have more spine than NBA refs.

How can he clap

Man they refs really hate Tatum. I don’t even like the Celtics but can see the clear bias in teching Tatum non stop

Real question, who has ultimate authority over the refs? Does the commissioner of the NBA have to power to stop this nonsense?

I am once again asking why Draymond doesn't get a tech for going up to the referees' faces and scream at them, while other players get techs just for clapping.

NBA markets itself like a fucking moron

The refs will literally allow Draymond to put hands on them and scream in their face, but Tatum can't fucking clap?

This is out of control now. Wtf Adam Silver is doing about it. People paying to watch these stars not those petty referee egos.

Refs please take some fucking cbd or something before these games you gotta chill On a serious note tho Adam silver if you’re in the Reddit threads no one wants to see these techs they make the league look pathetic

Wtf is wrong with these refs? they really just want these players to be robots.

Jesus Christ these refs are out of control.

It's the new rule emphasis this year. Don't make overt gestures after the foul or lack of call. Tatum should know by now. That Draymonds gets a free pass for trying to verbally goad other players into an altercation is insanity though.

Wow that's a weaker T than the Giannis mean mug.

The NBA does not allow men to show their emotions. THIS is toxic masculinity.

I really don’t like to be conspiratorial but when I see shit like this it makes me think the refs are gambling big time.

man this is sooo fkn soft, mans was just clapping literally at himself. ONE CLAP. how is this a tech? League needs to change this

Air does not not like getting slapped

How do I explain this disgraceful behavior to my kids!

A round of applause for the referees

How far are we from ejecting someone on the bench for laughing like they did Duncan?

At some point the league needs to adjust. This is his natural reaction to frustration. He isn't showing up anyone. He doesn't only do this in response to refs either. A play goes poorly. He dribbles off his foot etc. Same thing,

I’ve been waiting for the league to address a lot of these techs and ejections and nothing….

NBA saw that the NFL is at $8 million in fines and said hold my beer, we can do better!

Legend says if Tatum claps multiple times it would be the death of all refs

It wasn’t just the clap, it was the wind up and follow through associated with it.

I do not want a robot league. Mr. Silver the players should have some leeway to express themselves. I do not watch the games to see the refs.

Come on this is so stupid. Time for a rule change.

what do refs get when they found out made a bad tech call or any call for that matter?

People who constantly complain about the refs kinda sound like bitches a lot of the time so I try not to do it too much.

But when you look at how the refs treat Draymond vs Tatum you just have got to admit there's a double standard there.

I mean wtf

And this is why I don't watch any basketball. Get rid of these refs. This should be a firing. There is no excuse for this type of behavior from professional refs.

Adam silver hates emotions

Reffing in the NBA is beyond embarrassing to watch.

Absolutely ruined basketball. Can't be bothered anymore, which sucks.

Even though I think these techs are ridiculous, the players also whine and complain about every single call even when it’s blatant. I get why the league wants to stop thta

These refs are worse than reddit mods.

Wtf is wrong with the refs

Refs don’t deserve rights

Refs need to be sent away, they’re on one this sEason

Fuck these techs/rules/refs. Let the guys play FFS.

I I hate the Celtics more than any team, but this is nuts. It’s gotten out of hand. How are we allowing these dangerous claps!
