Q45T Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 We knew nothing was gonna happen with Tatum. He has been the league’s darling for awhile now and can do no wrong in their eyes… . Dude was basically given a pass for having the most turnovers in playoff history last year. Seeing how the refs consistently ruin the game with biased officiating is beyond disgusting at this point. If a ref was on fire and I had to use the bathroom I wouldn’t even piss on ‘em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My complaint, for now, rests with our "own". Will people who are in a position to make noise, do that? Or will they be content to just say que-sera-sera?

Premium Member Popular Post sturt Posted April 25, 2023 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Just as a general observation... I'm failing to understand the popular comment, "I take full responsibility," when there is no apparent reflection in the comments offered that suggests how the person, in hindsight, believes s/he coulda/shoulda behaved differently. Not limited to DJ's comments here, but his is just more of the same. "Well isn't it obvious how he could have behaved differently?" Sure it is. And that's what makes it that much more glaring that he doesn't just acknowledge, "Damn, I've let my team down by not being more careful about physical contact. I've got to be better." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes like "thoughts and prayers" where people use that as a way to deflect from an examination of how things can be handled differently to improve future outcomes. I also would have liked to have heard something from DJ along the lines of "no matter how frustrated you get, I know you can't touch the refs and I let myself and my teammates down with that." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 I like Murray’s fire but he made tremendous mistake and his statement for his actions doesn’t go far enough. He should have said he was wrong which he was. If Murray would of handled it like Van fleet did and took a fine, then he would be playing tonight.

Oh ok. i see. As far the interview i didn't have an issue with his continuing to complain but when he said 'i don't think i should have been suspended' that was hard to take. When basically 100% of your own fans agree you should have been suspended then you're kind of in fantasy land. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

909 Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 I was trying to say that Murray made a terrible choice of touching a ref.If he had a problem he should of addressed it after the game at the press conference and took a fine like that Toronto guard.

I think the caveat is that 100% of his fans think that Tatum should have been suspended also. However, the league didn't even care to look at Tatum shoving a ref and cussin at the other one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fact that he didn't even get a tech from the official really worked against any kind of suspension. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you showed a gang of NBA Fans what Tatum did, I would suspect that at least 65% would say that he deserved a suspension. That's including Boston fans.
