[Highlight] Jaylen Brown with the filthy poster dunk on Adem Bona (with replays). He also receives a tech
This is how Celtics fans maintain both superiority and victim complexes.

Have a look at the lakers sub when you get a chance. Yeesh. I’m a lakers fan and I can’t deal mwith it.
Oh and as a lakers fan, even I can say that was a bullshit tech
Worst part of being a laker fan is other laker fans lol
The worst part of any fandom are always the fans
Fuck that. He should have been ejected with that type of disgusting behavior. That type of conduct doesn’t need to be allowed in the NBA.
Now that’s how you properly Laker fan, you’re welcome.
This guy Lakers 👏
Yessir!
LOL - slight correction: now this how you properly lakers reddit sub
Nah nah it’s fuck Boston everyday and twice on Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or whatever day of the week it currently is
Here here!
Getchoo a fanbase who can do both
Shades of Shawn Kemp poster dunk on Alton Lister (and then pointing).
https://youtu.be/5j8eQNG_wjY
Been used in several promo videos back in the day.
Shawn Kemp is a tier 1 highlight reel guy
Haha that’s funny af
I still don’t think it’s a T tbh
Can’t wait for the league to use that clip in a commercial about the playoffs after making sure to penalize it.
Taking a lead from Goodell’s NFL
And France’s NASCAR
Oops all CTE!
I “get” it being a tech because the league doesn’t want tempers to flair up and sportsmanship or whatever
But jeez nba, let a guy freaking celebrate after a dunk like that… you should be able to stare down your victim after dunking on them
it’s not the staring that got him the T. It was the slight push after landing, causing the guy to fall and while advancing on him as he stared.
Push? There is very clearly not a push in any way during or after landing.
His hands go straight down to his sides.
Yeah i think their feet got tangled/Brown stepped on his foot and it was a trip. There was no push.
Tech should be rescinded.
If anything getting Td up after a poster makes it even cooler / more memorable. it’s the 1st Q not the 4th so the 1 point doesn’t matter so much
Kills the crowd buzz though which might affect the game a little bit
Yeah, but now you can look at someone menacingly the rest of the game…
Seriously.
That’s the definition of a poster dunk
I’m 39, hate the Celtics and I would put that on my wall
In my 40s and this is what I would describe as “Jordan-esque”
Dude was being hand checked 28ft out, powered through the smaller guard and over the Center.
That fucking was nasty.
it’s beautiful, from a non-fan perspective
It was a terrible call.
It’s kind of funny that the only consistent call of the rules in the NBA, is that bitch ass taunting rule.
It’s one thing to push a dude down or stand over him so he can’t get up. But you should absolutely be able to stare a guy down a little and talk a little shit. As long as you’re not creating physical contact after the play is over. Stupid soft ass call.
Yeah and this one was actually just his momentum carrying him forward.
This may be top 7 dunk of all time
Classic NBA. Monster dunk, epic play, playoff atmosphere. Tech.
It’s ridiculous. The players need to be emotionless or it’s a tech. Brown barely did anything here and still got a tech.
Let the players show some passion man (not even what Brown did here!!!). It’ll make for a better product.
I say let em fight like in Hockey.
I’m a sixers fan and thought it was dumb. Let them play. This is the kind of energy the NBA should lean into
Such a lame tech, can’t even stare down after an epic poster?
Should be able to challenge a tech. Let the upstairs refs decide if it’s warranted
If you don’t like that, you don’t like Adam Silver basketball.
corny ass ref had to make it about himself with the tech hahaha
Shaq, we’re on live.
“I dont give a shit”
I know
It’s obviously a tech in today’s NBA. I agree that it shouldn’t be and that they should change it, but with the way the rules have been for the last several years this is clearly a tech.
Same thoughts here. Easy tech by the rules but feels like it shouldn’t be.
Right I hate it but Silver gets most of the blame for this not the ref.
The refs job is to enforce the rules and that’s it. Same shit with the soft calls we see that’s what the NBA wants.
Yup. I say the same thing when NFL players get flagged for taunting. It shouldn’t be a penalty, but it is, and it’s the easiest penalty in the game to NOT commit.
That’s an easy tech
Shit was weak af
Nasty dunk
Ref: “get in there and make it about you”
Weak ass refs
I LOVE REFEREES! I LOVE WATCHING BASKETBALL SO I CAN WATCH THE REFEREES! HOORAY REFFEREEING!!!
Got Scott Foster home and away jerseys hangin in my closet
What a season of Jimmy Butler does to ya
Man wtf are we doing anymore
The refs are a joke
Poster was nasty
flagrant 7
guillotined immediately on the court
family exiled
Game’s gone
THE GRAVEDIGGER
Unfortunately, that is a fairly consistent taunting tech. Rule of thumb is not look at the opposing player for an extended amount after a dunk which Jaylen Brown clearly did. It’s a wack rule but it has been like that for over a decade so nothing out of the ordinary.
yeah, I don’t know why everyone is acting like that wasn’t something that literally penalized all the time. Remember when Lebron dunked, then took one step towards the down defender before walking away and he still got the tech.
Go outside nerd, this is playoff basketball
What a soft tech. If the guy doesn’t fall I bet he doesn’t call it too, lame af
Marc Davis doing Marc Davis things
He’s so good He’s so good He’s so good
No
Bfun
Aleague
insane dunk
THE GRAVE DIGGER!
That was an and-one too
He got fouled on the dunk. Got fouled before it, suddenly hand checking is back? Then they call a tech on him jesus replace all the refs
I love the dunk. And I’ll be downvoted. But he marched towards him after the dunk and accidentally tripped him. I mean. If you just stand there and don’t take steps forward it’d be fine.
Right? I’m baffled by the surprise in this thread (and Brown’s surprise). If it was legal for players to stare opponents down, walk into them, and knock them over after any cool play, we would have nonstop fights. I don’t think the trip was actually intentional, but play stupid games win stupid prizes. That’s a tech 10⁄10 times.
Sorry, I didn’t see any “march” in that video. JB simply took a natural step and then stumbled. Mostly a result of accidentally stepping on Bona’s foot.
It might have seemed like a taunt at first glance, but watch again. JB didn’t say shit and glanced at the dude for a split second before holding his hands up. No mean mug, no nothing.
This was a call that should be rescinded. It’s a questionalble in-the-moment call, but on review it’s absolutely nothing.
softie
do you know how momentum works
lol it wasn’t momentum that did that bud
literally threw his whole body toward the rim btw
Ended Bona career and marc Davis made it about himself
When did Maxey become a solid on-ball defender?
Small, but has quick feet and fast
Dang thought he was taller than 6’2”
He’s never been solid but he’s a lot better than he used to be
respect to him for growing his game
Agreed brah is super on the offensive side of the ball. But as an undersized guard, he does not need to be in Brown’s grill when he’s like half a foot shorter. Tyrese left his Center out there on an island to be dunked on. Any way they got the Dub, on to Game 3
He stared so hard at Bona, the man fell over. We can’t have people with superpowers like that. Technical!
I mean you can literally see him stepping on Bona’s foot
Come on. How many times have we seen nasty dunks/posters like these only to be ruined by referees calling some BS tech?
Let them play and let the fans and players have their moment to appreciate what just happened.
Now plays like these can’t be put on playlists in the future because you hear a whistle 2 seconds after the play instead of the crowd and commentators going nuts.
These refs are narcissistic man.
So glad this is on peacock so I have to watch on BuckBuckTV
It’s on NBC too
No it’s not.
Nope that’s nbcsn
ref legit killing the league. every major sport you are allowed to do a celebration to hype the fans and there’s nba who punishes the hype
Charity. League needs to keep the Sixers in this.
It’s literally impossible to keep the Sixers in this series lmao they could get every call and still lose
Circling back on this
BAPTIZED
A damn Boner
Soft ass ref
Extra steps toward the defender after the dunk…must have been the reason.
Weak ass ref , weak ass tech
Headtop
Cmon man. Why are you discouraging players from making amazing plays?
This is some bs..
Biggest fine goes to ron harper for the throat slash on the bench
I’m a generational Celtics hater but that was complete horse shit. We talkin about playoffs. That’s soft as shit.
I mean he got in his face to stare him down and took at least 3 unnecessary steps into the guy. Thats the definition of a tech whether you cry about it or not.
At least own it once you get it called. Whining takes away the impact imo
Agreed, his reaction to the tech kinda ruined the poster
aDAM bONER
The human highlighter with his latest mark 🫵🏻🫵🏻
Isn’t this playoff basketball. Soft ass refs
Because the guy fell he got Td up. That refs a pussy and the league is soft.
Yeah that was actually filthy. Maxey was guarding him hard and he just got by and destroyed a man’s life in one hand
That is a playoff poster, but not a playoff official.
White with the classic “I know my friend is wrong so I’m going to fence sit on this one” look on his face lmao.
Fk off. Comparing that tech to a draymond no call???
Silver is whack for enabling this.
What a nasty dunk!! Might be the best I’ve ever seen from him.
Dunk so disrespectful it got a tech.
Mark Davis, Certified Celtics Hater
Just looked at him
Putting up the “I didn’t do nothing” hands afterward is weak - own it!
Someone downvoted you but refs across almost every sport almost instinctively call a foul when players do the innocent hands lol. I’d love to collect data on the percentage, I bet it exceeds 90% lol.
He was stepping on his toes backing him down after the dunk. Why else did bona fall over, he’s not a flopper. Just some awareness from brown couldve saved that.
Can’t believe the denseness in this thread lol he walked into Bona and made him trip. That’s the reason the T happened. They don’t call it until Bona hit the floor lol if it was for the stare down it would’ve come so much earlier.
Don’t use logic, that’s not allowed here.
genuinely, big franchises always have to feel like a victim
Someone please tell me the mindset behind banning any sort of celebration or taunting.
He should have done more and really earned the tech nasty ass dunk
ooh dats nasty! nice dunk
also how dare JB look so menacing!
That gave me an epic Adem
Obviously a tech. We don’t do those at Adam Silver Sports (ASS)
Bruh it’s the playoffs
I like the tech in this context because it shows he did the nasty. Shouldn’t be a tech tho in an ideal NBA
Worth it
Wtf was the issue. One of the best dunks of the year and you want to be soft.
Watching that gave me Adem Bona
one of the best posters in a while goddamn, banged it on em
That’s a weak ass call for taunting
a disgusting act
The dunk was enough disrespect, I need to taunt!
Honestly, worth the tech.
JB looked at him so menacingly he fell over and the refs gave a tech lmfao
I think the tech was for tripping him as he fronts on him. You can see Jaylen backing up before the whistle goes like ‘Ah shit’. He stepped past Bona’s foot and Bona tripped over his leg as he backed up.
Fuck peacock
That should be 5 points just for embarrassing the opposing player. And what a soft call on the T.
Quiet as kept, Jaylen Brown has a nasty highlight tape of poster dunks. One of the best you’ll see amongst all players in history. I stand by that.
How can the nba keep rolling out these garbage soft ass refs every playoff game
I guess as an offensive player it is okay to use your offhand to deter a defender. They need to start calling that shit.
I bet this is not on the rulebooks. What a pussy tech.
It’s these kinds of techs that sting when they end up losing the same game.
Deserves a tech. Also, worth it.
I hate Adam Silvers NBA
Celtics been doing that to Philly practically since James Naismith was pulling balls out of peach baskets
You can’t tell me that the NBA wouldn’t be infinitely better with the refs calling less than half of the fouls that they do now.
You obviously don’t want players kicking the shit out of each other, but this kind of stuff just sucks to watch.
How the hell is that a tech???
Jaylen has more bodies on his hands than Benjam….any active player on the NBA Roster.
Shopping the all to the morgue. Yeesh.
I fucking hate the Celtics with every fiber of my being, but that was a bullshit tech
Can’t even show emotion after nasty dunk like that…garbage clown shit 🤡💩
Jaylen Brown wanted to do the right thing, but the ghost of Scottie Pippen possessed the flesh 😂
I hate this rule.
A tech for this is SO FUCKING LAME
Bruh
Marc Davis is so fucking lame
Wow, he didn’t even say a single word either.
I thought for sure the replay would show him chirping a bit. Tech’d up for looking at the guy …
I have to say I was a bit overconfident after this.
And then the L
From this point on I’m convinced this game was cursed
If looking at someone were a crime… It is a tech tho, so jot that down
Soft T especially on the replay, someone is getting fine from the bench for a neck slash tho.
Can’t believe he got a tech for this. IN THE PLAYOFFS. Fucking embarrassing
The ref should legit be fined for that. You’re an entertainment league and calling this kind of BS to sour a moment like that is pathetic. Idk why im this agitated. I hate the Celtics lmao
damn didnt realize JB was jacked
You gotta let that shit slide ref, it’s the fucking playoffs
The tech was worth it. It’s the 6ers….
players, announcers, audience and spectators are feeling the moment while nba sees something wrong with it. something have to change its been stupid, i see them fighting on first puck drop on hockey playoffs meanwhile we get techs for “looking at him funny”
Lame ass call. Many other bitch ass calls rest of the game too
This and then a soft offensive foul to really set a nice tone.
Aye man….Jaylen Brown got them underrated posters
Filthy
His handle with that right is crazy the jolt dribble was perfect
Good dunk wish he would’ve owned the stare down though. Take that tech with pride
Techs like this are unacceptable in a playoff game
Fuck those refs
Nasty
But yet again, bro, you cant get in the guys face like that afterwards than act all shocked that you got a tech lmao
good poster dunk but Jaylen put his around behind Adem and tripped him on purpose
Why is everyone pretending to be scandalized by this tech?
He keeps moving towards Bona and Bona falls over as a result.
That isn’t borderline. It’s a clear tech.
Entire bench is getting fined for those gestures too lol
Nastiest 1 point dunk in the history of the NBA.
Fuck Boston but where’s the foul? Did he say the f word?
