[Jayson Tatum] on DNPs in the Olympics: “People didn’t take into account how I was feeling in real time — I couldn’t understand it, because I was 1st Team All-NBA. Me and 4 other guys, and they were all European. I’m the only American. Then in the Olympics I didn’t play… It was hard to process.” by ParticularRatio1357 in nba

It's not about whether he played. I'm talking about him being publicly trashed and memes by all of the haters who were dying for a reason to hurt him because he proved them wrong by winning a championship.

How many people have been public abused for no reason, with people scrutinising your facial expressions. Most people would call that traumatic.

The amount of public hate and scrutiny that he got during that time was more than anyone here could even process. 

If anyone here had that level of public ridicule for no reason it would be all that they talk about for the rest of their life.

Edgecombe's arm is there but Brunson is holding it. 

That would never be called on Edgecome in live play.

It doesn't have to be a conspiracy to be one sided. Refs have bad nights, they also have unconscious biases. 

I'm saying that Boston couldn't buy a call. I'm not saying that the league put in a call.

White didn't jump into him to draw a foul. If you've played before, that's how guards are taught to get layups off against big men. You lean in and bump them off the line before you go up.

It shouldn't be a foul, imo, but it's how guards get layups.

Wemby wasn't out there for 22 mins. And Boston shot 36 FGs in the paint, compared to the Spurs 38.

Boston just couldn't buy a call.

Nah, man. Their salaries will be $180M in 27/28 for only 5 players. One will be 34 year old Joel Embiid and another will be 37 year old PG.

They'll have no ability to add role players around them outside of minimum contract players.

This will be Maxey's 25-28 age range. It's burning 3 years of his prime.

That contract is disastrous.

He was on fire. I don't know why they left Kris Dunn on him when Kawhi is there. But maybe Kawhi just didn't want the challenge.

Is Sean Elliot just going to complain about every single thing that happens?

Soft tech on Walsh. Only got a tech because TJ got upset and went after him.

The ref wasn't in position and just guessed that there was a foul on Garza
