Caleb was probably going after the rebound initially but as soon as he realized he had no chance at the ball, it was a clear hip check on an airborne player. Definitely NOT a basketball play. You don't turn your back away from the rim going after a rebound.

We finished the season with one of the largest point differential in league history, which means we went up big and maintained that better than almost every other team in history! No one wants to see the Celtics stop giving max effort, but it's not realistic, if it was, how has it been so hard for the entire league in its history? Celtics were doing this when the league has been spamming threes that get you back in games easily! Teams get back into it because they hit 3s at crazy clips for a few minutes and then the game is close again, it's not rocket science.

Only reason it wasn’t reviewed was because Tatum got up immediately and acted like a man and told to move on. If he sold it like how Lebron always does when he falls in pain, they would review it and likely would gave it a flagrant 2.

It’s sad the only reason you wrote this was to show disdain for Jaylen.

Be better man.

Let’s keep the game thread about the players. Remember, responding to you is an immediate ban.

Leader of the JB cult, please relax and enjoy the playoffs.

Voted for KP and Tatum because they had the most impact. I also thought White was solid and clutch as usual.

Move on to game 2.

He should’ve been on the bench at that point in the game when the win wasn’t in doubt. ESPECIALLY against a dirty team like the Heat. Mazzulla should thank his lucky stars Tatum wasn’t hurt there.

Martin's bad acts were in the initial reckless run-up and leap. Turning his body didn't make the collision worse, and indeed may have been a -- successful! -- attempt to make it less serious.

He might have something there.

Jaylen got a Tech, for standing up for Tatum.


We'll see what happens.

Tatum could've still landed on his feet with the initial bump if Martin didn't follow through with the full undercut. Which makes me think now he was never going after the rebound in the first place.

I would have loved to see some anger/emotion from JT instead of walking bAck trying to calm JB down! JT needs to stop trying to be friends with the enemy. Mambas not staying quiet after a cheap shot like that

People see things differently, I thought he thanked JB for having his back. Tatum did nothing wrong there. Heat bank on us losing our cool, they do it to see if they are still in our heads, Tatum is giving off the vibe; your tactics aren't going to work, we're different!

How ironic when your always keep it personal with Jaylen.

Also, do you have any other words in your vocabulary than “leader of the JB cult” when talking about people that don’t hate Jaylen ?
