If the NBA had a policy of not suspending the person who responds to a dumbass play like this, this wouldn't happen because if you tackle someone, the responder has a full license to lay you out. This sounds crazy but current policy allows a bench warmer to lay out a star and if players responds all of a sudden you have Celtics getting suspended and there's an advantage for the Heat. It's a loophole that puts Tatum in danger
