Bro why would it not be his favorite year? He was in mvp convos,he had a career year, they won a ton of games 2nd in the east, he was a all star like yall just make up narratives and create beef when itâs unnecessary. Everything is blown out of proportion for clicks and engagements and itâs sad thatâs the society we live in.

You donât tell your gm your frustrations that is a good way to be sent packing. JB was drafted first, he probably feels like they are even but JT gets MVP top 5 talks for years. I honestly think they are both awesome but they are not a duo like Shaq Kobe type. They donât improve each other, JB in the last game without JT looked defeated in the 1st , was getting so many fouls that game was his chance to show he was a leader. When they took JB out the bench went off.

I wonder why people always bring up Tmac losing a 3-1 lead to the pistons in a series they was projected to get swept in as the 7th seed against a team that everyone felt shouldâve won it all that year when Mike miller and pat garrity was his running mates they said the rest of the series they made it 5 on 1 billups said double teaming him wasnât working at all

Brown released a statement saying he has no problem with Brad Stevens or the Celtics organization and hopes to play there for another 10 years.
They have to create this basketball drama because no one watches the games anymore.
I donât think Brown and McGrady weâre that close of friends to start with. Brown is an intellectual, McGradyâs a dumb jock.
If they were friendly, I guarantee theyâre not anymore.

Getting rid of Simons and Tillman was unnecessary. The team was cruising with them. Simons is a proven scorer and excelled as the 6th man off the bench. Tillman gave enough veteran experience and wasnât a liability. Pritchard and White also had more consistent numbers with them as well. Tatum comes back with them on the team, they beat Philly. Iâm glad Brown is calling out the officials, theyâve been horrible for a long time. That being said, hopefully Brown signs the extension and Tatum is ready to go next season. Maybe the Celtics try and sign Simons and Vucevic., they both had injuries, so maybe get them at a discount price.

Never a great sign when youâre suddenly called by your initials in the media. Right up there with the vote of confidence.

Udoka gets fired for something that isnt a violation or illegal.
Your football coach is essentially doing the same thing with so much more information still incoming that is a much worse look and scandal for the organization than the Udoka situation. Still employed.
Udoka getting fired somehow triggers the guy in the 3rd row to become the head coach almost instantaneously.
New Celtics head coach cant coach and only shoots 3 to front-run or more 3âs to catch up.
The GM doesnt even remember anything discussed in the interview to hire the head coach.
AGAIN. Boston sports media: How does Udoka getting fired trigger the guy in the 3rd row with no NBA experience and no coaching experience, when you had guy on the staff with this experience, becoming head coachâŠ.What happened in this scandal that triggered this specific, unqualified, guy to end up in this position and are non-disclosures and confidentiality agreements involved.
There is more to this story.
Even then scandals in Boston sports are kept controlled by its own media.

Tatum has never been better than Brown⊠Thatâs the issue and heâs sick of being told to take a backseat for him. They cool and professional but Brown wants the mantle now

Seems jaylen the only one In the Celtics organization that thinks/ knows the 50 threes a game isnât a winning philosophy unless you get 3-4 rounds of every teams best player being out.
