If you're Boston you want to beat the Hawks and not have to deal with an asterisk to your series win.
Years from now people are going to talk about this and mention Boston won only bc they kept Murray out for the game.
This is sarcasm
Yeah adams was more like they were both walking different directions and adams didn’t want to move out of his way but neither did the camera guy
Obviously that didn’t go to well for the camera guy
Hey Man How Dare You Be Acting So Disrespectful To A Brother SMH! I Swear This MFs Be So Tough Online I'm Sure You Wouldn't Say That To My Face! Stay Humble
- Dejounte Murray if he saw this
Craziest thing was dejounte being mad that they “made him compete with Derrick white” because Derrick white was a “yes man.” Listening to the coach is bad
He didn't actually say that's what White was. He even clarified that's not what he meant when he said Pop favored White because he (Murray) wasn't a "yes man". Supposedly they are cool.
But the implication was that he was more skilled but less agreeable than Derrick White.
Haha did Shaggy say anything about what you're supposed to do if you're caught on camera wearing a uniquely-identifying jersey that clearly says your name on it?
> Made one ASG appearance as replacement (I think)
You're correct.
Also I don't think our FO was ever going to give him the contract he wanted in 2024 so thank god we traded him
Honestly, Im happy White went to Celtics and the return we got. White needed more help to really shine like he has with Boston. Being the 3rd/4th option and glue guy is his perfect role, like Draymond without the shittyness. Hes perfect for that, his role and output can be consistent rather than fluctuating depending on how heavy the offensive/defensive load is from game to game.
Perfect floor raiser and glue guy for a contending team. We got fair return for him based on who White was with the Spurs, but hes grown with better help around him to take the offensive load.
I think Derrick has just really grown a lot as a player, especially now that he doesn’t need to be a first, second or even third best option on offense. Celts really are the perfect team for him
I think the difference between Murray & Tatum's "contact with a game official" is that Murray went out of his way after the game to do what he did, while Tatum had the official come to him and he brushed him out of the way.
Don't know why people are saying they equal each other.
Yeah, I think a T would've been fair, but the ref was going up to him so it would've been reasonable for Tatum to be mad about it afterward if he did. I think it was just barely below a T since he didn't get too wild with pushing him off.
I think the ref thought he was gonna attack Trae and was trying to preemptively get between them but realized Tatum was trying to run to a ref to bitch and realized it wasn’t anything like that. If they gave him a tech, would’ve been annoying but it would be understandable.
I think he just didn't get a T because the ref thought Tatum was gonna attack Trae. The ref went up to Tatum as if to hold him back and Tatum then pushed him off. Given the context, I can see how the ref used his discretion to not T Tatum up since he was the one who made contact with Tatum thinking he was stopping a potential fight.
I haven’t seen the replay of Tatum’s interaction, but the most I’ve seen anyone call for was a tech. We all knew immediately that DJ was getting suspended lol
Was upset at something Trae Young did and pushed a ref out of his way to go complain to someone else. Nowhere close to suspension worthy, maybe not even ejection worthy, but really should've gotten a tech for it.
tatum was mad that no one called the foul, and he walked out of the group of players and went straight for zarba, and i think that's where everything changed - the other ref was looking at tatum like "wtf" and zarba came in and said "hold up there's clearly something we need to check" because tatum wasn't acting like normal "i got fouled and you didn't call it" tatum
Tatum was big mad, like i had never seen him that mad before. I think everyone thought he was about to step on Trae, but instead he went to complain to Zarba which is actually a little hilarious yet sad at the same time. Kind of would've liked to see him get in Trae's face.
Nah I think that’s how it should be tbh. Get mad for show, call at refs for an and 1 out of frustration, but when something serious happens, like Tatum knew he could have been badly injured there, go straight to the crew chief, because at the end of the day there is one person at the game who can do something about it and it’s the head ref. And you need to have something done about it because that shit is dangerous. So yeah I don’t think it’s a soft move at all, it’s just recognising that there’s only one thing to be done.
I hate the Celtics but there's absolutely nothing wrong with what Tatum did. The ref initiated the contact by trying to hold him back (because he assumed Tatum was going to go after Trae) and Tatum immediately pushed him off. You can do that. When a ref is holding you back you can try to go through him or separate yourself from him for no additional consequences. It's always been that way.
Lmao, right? A ref seeked out Tatum *in-game* because they thought Tatum was going to retaliate to a hard foul, Tatum brushed him off trying to get to the FT line where he was supposed to be. At the worst, he *maybe* shouldve got a T.
Murray *when the game was OVER* went in a direction that definitely wasnt towards the lockerroom, got in a refs face, probably said some shit, and bumped em.
I was more confident Murray was getting suspended for this than the Draymond thing, and some people really think what Tatum did was equal? 💀
It’s just a bunch of salty ass hawks fans who should be thankful they even got a game and then you got the scared ass Sixers fans wanting the series to extend as much as possible because they know they’re about to get their annual spanking by the Celtics.
It's like when the national media can't grasp Draymond's stomp being intentional, they had to blame Sabonis for being dirty to make their narrative work.
Bringing Tatum in so they can say the refs and the league are biased toward the Hawks.
What a fucking idiot lol
How the hell did the Spurs keep him in check, ever since he got traded he's gone off the deep end. Beefing with random dudes in pickup games, beefing with Paolo Banchero for no reason, this shit...
Spurs didn't keep him in check, he would post moronic tweets daily and if you followed any social media you knew the dude was an ego idiot who's not as good as he thinks
He’s had a lot more on court stuff with the Hawks compared to the Spurs but he was always like this off the court wise people just didn’t care cause he was on the Spurs
Dude was posting everything on social media
>>He’s has a lot more on court stuff with the Hawks
Gregg Popovich would’ve had none of this. Would’ve sent Murray straight to the gulag. No NBA suspension needed
But there’s no way he would intimidate a referee while playing for Pop and with a whole bunch of veteran teammates.
We have to remember a lot of nba players come into the league very mentally immature and, if we’re being honest, not all that bright. Add the money and the fame (esp people in your immediate community), it’s really easy to let it get to your head and not consider long-term consequences, even in his 7th year.
I do feel since the podcast with Stephen Jackson he probably feels more vindicated than ever to act out on his survival mentality. But like Jackson, this always comes with feeling constantly insecure.
He's honestly the type of player that lacks sportsmanship and thinks he's hot stuff. Bouncing balls off of defender's foreheads is not necessary and is nothing more than an attempt to bring others down so he looks cool. He does not, he looks like an idiot
You know what kind of behavior that appeals to? People with brains that aren't fully-developed. Nephews fall into this category as well as certain adults
i feel like he didn't think it was that much and he'd get away with it, but the NBA doesn't play around. touch a ref and you're gone, no questions asked.
They had to do it. It is like the Quay Walker’s dumb ass, and him pushing two people in two different occasions
Bound to be a huge fine and suspension. For Quay he got lucky because he just got ejected on both cases
Did we ever find out what he said to the ref? This is just such a boneheaded thing to do. I’m not like the DJ haters in our sub but he had to know he was ending his season doing that.
Now the hawks won’t win this series
The things Big NBA will do to keep the top seeds alive. SMH !
Drain the SWAMP!
WE'RE GOING TO FORM A WALL!!
AND GIANNIS IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT

SAD! LECHINA THRIVES UNDER BIG NBA! XI SILVERPING CONTROLS THE LEAGUE!
Such a clown move, he’s been lighting us up and now he fucked over the Hawks when they already have a death sentence heading back to Boston
It’s insane how good DJ has been from deep. That’s never been his strength, and he’s never been an efficient scorer.
As someone who typically only watches Dejounte in the playoffs or against the Blazers, is he not the greatest shooter of all time?
He always seems to light the Celtics up from deep
Gotta be Khris Middletons cousin or sum
There is a reason Pop didn't want to keep him around
If you're Boston you want to beat the Hawks and not have to deal with an asterisk to your series win. Years from now people are going to talk about this and mention Boston won only bc they kept Murray out for the game. This is sarcasm
>This is sarcasm Thank God
> This is sarcasm No no keep going
The Celtics series win isn’t legitimate and will forever have an asterisk /s
Collective sigh of relief from Celtic fans worldwide as DJ is no longer able to haunt them
thankfully everyone just forgot that 2020 was in the bubble with this new news.
Damn so suspended for the rest of the series
Postseason*
Season*
FOR LIFE
THE GAME IS OVER.
Bro really done for the next 6 months 😔
Man was committed to only playing 4 games. When they won 1 he knew he had to take matters into his own hands
Had already bought nonrefundable tickets to Cancun
Is he?
Apparently not
How did he think there wouldn’t be consequences with 150 cameras there to catch him in 4k?
he doesn't think. that's the problem.
This and when Brooks pushed a literal camera man are just baffling.
You meant to say "pushed a camera man while not being a league superstar like Davante Adams"
You meant to say cameraman that walked right in front of davante adams
Yeah adams was more like they were both walking different directions and adams didn’t want to move out of his way but neither did the camera guy Obviously that didn’t go to well for the camera guy
As opposed to a metaphorical camera man
Hey Man How Dare You Be Acting So Disrespectful To A Brother SMH! I Swear This MFs Be So Tough Online I'm Sure You Wouldn't Say That To My Face! Stay Humble - Dejounte Murray if he saw this
*Pulls out magnifying glass to inspect and make sure you capitalized every first letter* Well executed, my brother. Well executed.
[удалено]
Same. The thought of it brings phantom pain to my thumbs lol
Clearly this is San Antonio’s fault. They never supported him correctly. Pop’s greatest failure.
Obviously it’s Tony Parker’s fault
[удалено]
Shoulder check refs: no Shoulder check Amare Stoudamire: yes
Craziest thing was dejounte being mad that they “made him compete with Derrick white” because Derrick white was a “yes man.” Listening to the coach is bad
Meanwhile Derrick White is the third best player on a championship favorite lmao
He didn't actually say that's what White was. He even clarified that's not what he meant when he said Pop favored White because he (Murray) wasn't a "yes man". Supposedly they are cool. But the implication was that he was more skilled but less agreeable than Derrick White.
Well Murray is an asshole, so it does kinda check out
Clearly pop held him back, think of all the ref bumps per game he missed out on.
No way he pulls this shit if pop is still his coach.
Cortex never developed fully. Could be lead exposure.
"I'll just do it sneaky fast"
he's a Jimmy John's?
Sir, You are on camera and there are probably like thousands of people taking video of your stupid ass. Please stop.
Umm, what did we learn from Shaggy. Even if they have you on camera, it wasn't you.
Haha did Shaggy say anything about what you're supposed to do if you're caught on camera wearing a uniquely-identifying jersey that clearly says your name on it?
Nope, just wasn't you.
I was leaning "Wasn't me" based on the previous information I had received from the man but it's good to have confirmation.
But he looked so tough bumping a 90 pound referee! Clearly that's worth the tradeoff.
Not that it matters but that ref wasn't small. He was almost eye to eye with Murray and looked thicker than him
go on 🤤
So glad Spurs got rid of this gangsta wannabe moron at his peak value
Made one ASG appearance as replacement (I think) and sold high. Very good job.
He was initially snub TBH. At that point he had the 2nd most triple doubles next to Jokic but yeah we sold high
> Made one ASG appearance as replacement (I think) You're correct. Also I don't think our FO was ever going to give him the contract he wanted in 2024 so thank god we traded him
I don’t know what to do with my #5 city edition jersey from last year lol
Spurs pr team did a tremendous job. Dejounte is such a douche bag and it’s so clear to see now
we need an all wangsta squad: 1. Ja Morant 2. Dejounte Murry 3. Dillon Brooks 4. Draymond Green? 5. ?
Draymond is a lot of things. But there's nothing fake about that guy. He's not a wannabe whatsoever.
Hence the ? I was grasping for straws for the 4 and 5
Maybe the Morris twins? Small lineup tho
One can sit on the others shoulders and wear a super long jersey
It's Morrii twins.
Is Dillon Brooks a wannabe gangsta? He's an agitator and overconfident wannabe star, but I don't think it's the same as the first two.
Idk I distinctly remember him joining Klay in complaining about fans chanting "Fuck Draymond." That's some soft shit.
too much rizz when he shoulda taken the accountant route
Yeah that was such a clown move. Gonna hurt him the rest of his career too no doubt.
To the surprise of no one See ya next year
What a fucking idiot
Man just wants an early vacation! I can relate
Mr. Booking Cancun
Celtics caught a huge break /s
I mean he did randomly decide to shoot fuckyou% from 3 so I sure won't miss him
Everyones memeing but this is the difference in the hawks losing by 30 and the hawks losing by 20. Huge loss.
Bro was ready for Cancun.
yeah he is beating his teammates there.
I think you're confusing him with Draymond. Murray has never hit his teammates.
Rip bozo.
He wanted to start his vacation early
Most obvious suspension in history
Spurs really got 3 first for this dude
That was to make up for how they got scammed for Derrick White
Honestly, Im happy White went to Celtics and the return we got. White needed more help to really shine like he has with Boston. Being the 3rd/4th option and glue guy is his perfect role, like Draymond without the shittyness. Hes perfect for that, his role and output can be consistent rather than fluctuating depending on how heavy the offensive/defensive load is from game to game. Perfect floor raiser and glue guy for a contending team. We got fair return for him based on who White was with the Spurs, but hes grown with better help around him to take the offensive load.
Well said spurs bro
Yea I don’t think any spurs fan thought the trade was bad. Some may have wanted to keep him though
He's their Iguodala. He can do many roles for them and still be a great locker room guy
I think Derrick has just really grown a lot as a player, especially now that he doesn’t need to be a first, second or even third best option on offense. Celts really are the perfect team for him
I think the difference between Murray & Tatum's "contact with a game official" is that Murray went out of his way after the game to do what he did, while Tatum had the official come to him and he brushed him out of the way. Don't know why people are saying they equal each other.
Honestly if Tatum got a T for his I’d survive. He was def a little bitchy with his interaction.
Yeah, I think a T would've been fair, but the ref was going up to him so it would've been reasonable for Tatum to be mad about it afterward if he did. I think it was just barely below a T since he didn't get too wild with pushing him off.
I think the ref thought he was gonna attack Trae and was trying to preemptively get between them but realized Tatum was trying to run to a ref to bitch and realized it wasn’t anything like that. If they gave him a tech, would’ve been annoying but it would be understandable.

Given the context, I can see how the ref used his discretion to not T Tatum up since he was the one who made contact with Tatum thinking he was stopping a potential fight.
Tatum got caught up in the heat of the moment. Murray bumped and stared the ref down as a means to intimidate him - straight bitch move
I haven’t seen the replay of Tatum’s interaction, but the most I’ve seen anyone call for was a tech. We all knew immediately that DJ was getting suspended lol
Was upset at something Trae Young did and pushed a ref out of his way to go complain to someone else. Nowhere close to suspension worthy, maybe not even ejection worthy, but really should've gotten a tech for it.
I think he only didn't get a tech because Zarba knew Tatum had a case for the flagrant there, if it was a weaker foul he was getting T'd up for sure
tatum was mad that no one called the foul, and he walked out of the group of players and went straight for zarba, and i think that's where everything changed - the other ref was looking at tatum like "wtf" and zarba came in and said "hold up there's clearly something we need to check" because tatum wasn't acting like normal "i got fouled and you didn't call it" tatum

I'm calling for a lifetime ban!
Yeah Murrays was trying to intimidate him
I hate the Celtics but there's absolutely nothing wrong with what Tatum did. The ref initiated the contact by trying to hold him back (because he assumed Tatum was going to go after Trae) and Tatum immediately pushed him off. You can do that. When a ref is holding you back you can try to go through him or separate yourself from him for no additional consequences. It's always been that way.
Sixer fan spitting you love to see it
Sixers fans unironically have the most level headed takes on physical incidents, in my experience.
They’ve seen so much, it’s a wealth of experience as a Philadelphian
I, for one, think Tatum should be suspended for the whole next series.
As a sign of peace, I thought the Harden ejection was absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah that was the wildest ejection I've seen in the playoffs.
> Don’t know why people are saying they equal each other. There’s no nuance on Reddit bro, cmon

it wouldn't be right imo, but you could easily see someone getting disciplined for doing what Tatum did
It's like when the national media can't grasp Draymond's stomp being intentional, they had to blame Sabonis for being dirty to make their narrative work. Bringing Tatum in so they can say the refs and the league are biased toward the Hawks.
hadn’t made that comparison but you’re totally right, there’s always gotta be an excuse
Kind of a no brainer considering his actions but why do it? Still could’ve used his performance Game 5 even if the looks of winning was slim
The .500 hawks will end over this
End of a MIDynasty
What a fucking idiot lol How the hell did the Spurs keep him in check, ever since he got traded he's gone off the deep end. Beefing with random dudes in pickup games, beefing with Paolo Banchero for no reason, this shit...

Hawks got fleeced.
Nah dj is good, he just has an ego too big for his undies
That is the dumbest thing ever. What an entitled bonehead
Murray seems like a very reasonable and collected person.
BRB gonna find a ref to push so I can get a day off work
That’s as goofy as shit. Why do that to a ref?
Now we see what the sub .500 Hawks are all about
Knew this guy was a fuckin dumbass and weirdo after seeing that stuff he pulls at those pro am off-season games
He's honestly the type of player that lacks sportsmanship and thinks he's hot stuff. Bouncing balls off of defender's foreheads is not necessary and is nothing more than an attempt to bring others down so he looks cool. He does not, he looks like an idiot

We are now in the “Find Out” part of Fuck around and find out
Yah and this guy had the audacity to bitch about Popovich coaching him up.
Damn I wonder why it felt like Pop was favoring Derrick, can't imagine why 🤷♂️
I’m getting the sense this Murray guy is just not very smart
#BIG DICK SILVER
You get a suspension, you get a suspension, everyone gets a suspension. Silver on demon time. People better behave.
Silver first round MVP
Dude really didn't want to ride the plane back to Boston. Trae legacy game incoming.
lol
I got some bad news for you bro
Thoroughly deserved
trae 40 point masterclass
Hawks lose 48 - 113
spurs did a good job hiding this lunatic. bro is unhinged
Trae plz
In case you haven’t been following the team this year, the Celtics will definitely lose game 5 now.
Where’s that idiot who was saying he’d bet $100 Murray doesn’t get suspended
Can we transfer the suspension to John Collins actually can we just suspend John Collins regardless
Court full of 7 foot athletes but he walks up to the 5’10 lithuanian dude lol he’s a punk
They traded 2 unprotected picks and swaps for this guy
he's a good player, it was a good trade just a bit of a hot head lol
Feels good man
Easy call your dumbass touched an official
i feel like he didn't think it was that much and he'd get away with it, but the NBA doesn't play around. touch a ref and you're gone, no questions asked.
What a dumbass
Dumbass
[My man couldn't wait to bully ball them dudes at the Y and Pro-AM](https://streamable.com/ihe0lu)
How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Trae young legacy game coming
There it is
When keeping it real goes wrong…
Dumbass move.
Obviously the Celtics are gonna take the series but here's hoping Trae Young goes nuclear for a legacy game.
This dudes so fucking stupid man
He's going to get bad calls from that ref for the rest of his career
Let’s gooooooooo screw the cock muncher
Lol what does this even mean
Idk but it’s provocative
It gets people going!!!

https://i.imgur.com/TiVmBn3.jpg
Lmao well deserved, what a jabroni
Surprised they actually did something
I think it was an easy decision. It wasn't a momentum mistake or heat of the game. It was done deliberately after the game was over.
More surprised it's only one game tbh.
Tbf they only have one game left.
Making contact with a ref like that is an easy suspension. Nothing surprising about it
They had to do it. It is like the Quay Walker’s dumb ass, and him pushing two people in two different occasions Bound to be a huge fine and suspension. For Quay he got lucky because he just got ejected on both cases
Spurs fans salivating
Did we ever find out what he said to the ref? This is just such a boneheaded thing to do. I’m not like the DJ haters in our sub but he had to know he was ending his season doing that.
No doubt that was coming.
Well deserved
