Should we be worried about Jayson Tatum’s third-quarter ejection from the Boston Celtics’ overtime preseason loss to the Toronto Raptors in Montreal on Friday? While the call itself was indeed an egregious one to toss a star player in an exhibition game, the early return of complaining to the referees from the St. Louis native can’t be making anyone comfortable.
One of the lingering issues that was mostly put to bed in the Celtics’ second half of their 2021-22 season that led to fastbreak scoring on the other was Tatum’s jawing with the refs, leading to 5-on-4 scoring opportunities on the other end.
Ought we worry we might see more of the same this season?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast John Zannis and Josue Pavon debate whether red flags should be going up after that controversial ejection.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they have to say.
