Celtics’ Jayson Tatum appeared to call Grayson Allen a [expletive] during Game 7 win over Bucks

In many ways, the Celtics-Bucks second-round series was something of a coming-of-age for Jayson Tatum.

Sure, there’ll never be a shortage of storylines in a matchup between the defending NBA champion Bucks and a stellar Boston squad (-5 favorites coming in). Even still, it’s tough to overshadow a 24-year-old (!) superstar like Tatum coming into his own.

As the Celtics — and their bench — finally pulled away from the Bucks in a 109-81 win, you could tell Tatum was feeling himself. And understandably so. All those competitive juices were flowing.

Tatum was so locked in near the end of the first half that he even appeared to have choice words for his former Duke teammate, Grayson Allen.

Warning, NSFW language in the tweet below. 

Oh, wow. Has someone been watching a little George Carlin in their spare time?

To be fair to Tatum, he was probably reacting in the heat of the moment of a tense Game 7. Sometimes you fight with your friends. It happens. That said, given his history, Allen probably did something to Tatum that would warrant such a response.

Naturally, NBA fans loved Tatum chirping one of the league’s more notorious villains.

Warning, NSFW: Language
