The same ref who gave Melo a tech for swiping his hand off lets Tatum do the same thing, and no tech is called.

Tonight was a brutal reminder of how hard refs can influence the game of basketball.

I mean. We are Hornets and they are Celtics. The refs gotta follow their orders 🤷‍♂️

Tatum also said "get your fucking hands off me"

Bit of a reach but I respect the agenda 😂

Glad you posted the two clips together because I noticed that too, the EXACT motion, and Melo gets whistled not even a second later, and in Tatum’s situation the ref didn’t even bat an eye.. (keep in mind Lamelo was protecting his wrist that had just been injured)

…and made sure Lamelo fouled out early. It was the only way Boston could guard him. This phantom fouls must stop. It’s ruining the product and true spirit of competition.

Bubble highlights?

context a lil different

Why does he keep engaging players
