Should we be worried about Jayson Tatum’s third-quarter ejection from the Boston Celtics’ overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors in Montreal on Friday? While tossing a star player in an exhibition game was an egregious call, 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 fast-break scoring on the other end 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?
