Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum wasn’t afraid to voice his displeasure with the refs’ decision to eject Jaylen Brown in the second quarter of Celtics-Spurs on Tuesday night.

“I disagree with it,” Tatum said postgame. “The NBA makes a big deal about prime-time games and stars playing and being available. National TV game, two of the best teams in the league, and you make a big deal about stars playing, then you (get) trigger-happy and throw somebody out the game, I disagree with it.”

The ejection drew immediate backlash from fans and analysts, with many questioning the officials’ quick trigger.
