"The NBA makes a big deal out of prime time games and stars playing and being available. He definitely got pushed and the first tech was probably warranted. Emotions are high. But, the second tech, you've got to understand it's a national TV game, two of the best teams in the league. If you make a big deal about stars playing then you're trigger happy to throw someone out the game, I disagree with that."
"He definitely earned the first one. I thought the second one was [expletive], honestly."
Jaylen Brown was ejected during the first half of the Boston Celtics' loss to San Antonio on Tuesday night after receiving two technical fouls for yelling at an official over a missed call. His teammates, including Jayson Tatum and Derrick White, disagreed with the second technical foul that resulted in his ejection. Tatum argued that while the first technical was warranted, the second seemed excessive given the NBA's emphasis on star players being available in prime-time games. Brown has previously expressed frustration over perceived missed calls this season, including after a January loss to the Spurs, for which the league fined him.
