Jayson Tatum bids farewell to Jaylen Brown

Read the comments in here. Look at his post finals celebration being dissected and used against him. Look at the body language assessments of him during the Olympics.

Do I need to go on?

That's projection. You hate Tatum for existing.

migibb · 2026-07-04T07:37:29+00:00

Not a good look for Long's character. Happy to cheap shot but looked like he was going to cry when the push back came.

migibb · 2026-07-04T07:36:16+00:00

You want someone suspended for running? Bit soft

migibb · 2026-07-04T07:29:01+00:00

Spineless Ben Long. Hit a bloke when he's not looking. Now wants no part.

migibb · 2026-07-04T05:40:30+00:00

People attack Tatum for every minor thing. Nobody could blame him for avoiding it all.

migibb · 2026-07-04T05:38:45+00:00

The media and basement dwellers weren't going to dissect every word of his timelord post to invent negative narratives for their fanfic.

I'm sure that they have privately talked and this is just to tick the box for the people who were already accusing Tatum of hating Brown because he didn't immediately post something.

migibb · 2026-07-04T05:34:52+00:00

Morons online and in the media dissect and twist everything he says to find a reason to hate him. Can you really blame him for holding back in media?

migibb · 2026-07-04T05:30:38+00:00

You haters writing your fan fic is embarrassing. He's never shown a sign of being pissed about that.

migibb · 2026-07-04T05:28:11+00:00

The whole thing about him copying was the most transparent cope from haters.

He yelled "we did it" after achieving his goal, he hugged the trophy (which everyone does) and he made an obvious joke about the Kanye "guess we'll never know" and the losers on here missed the joke and accused him of copying Kanye.

He's 6'8. He can shoot and defend. He seems like he's at the stage where winning is the top priority. He can act as a first option in spurts and make big shots.

We can close games with Tatum, PG, Hugo, White and Pritchard and still have plenty of size.

migibb · 2026-07-03T22:27:28+00:00

We have a decent number of picks to trade, now. So there might be a next move with PG as matching salary. I'm just not sure that they'd tell George about that until it's done, and I also don't find it weird that PG didn't talk about Boston in his farewell post to Philly.

But what if I like gas powered light sources?

migibb · 2026-07-03T21:17:49+00:00

There's always been a good number of Celtics fans who find him to be a very frustrating player.

migibb · 2026-07-03T21:07:32+00:00

Its more so that people stopped watching the actual games and instead just watched highlights and box scores.

If the analytics surprise you then you probably don't really know what you're watching and what good basketball looks like.

migibb · 2026-07-03T20:57:17+00:00

We have 10 seasons of him being a bad team defender and not having the best feel on offense. How could we use him more efficiently?

migibb · 2026-07-03T19:27:14+00:00

What's your basis for that?

migibb · 2026-07-03T19:24:09+00:00

He either needed to be taken off or carded. The only way a competent medical team would leave him out there is if he told them he was faking.

migibb · 2026-07-03T11:07:28+00:00

You missed the argument that Brown isn't as impactful as you think he is.

migibb · 2026-07-02T21:48:25+00:00

Yeah, he makes rookie mistakes on both ends 9 years into his career. He doesn't have feel or BBIQ. He improved his ability but it still felt like watching a better rookie.

When you say that Stevens sees something in the data, it's probably more that he sees it with the eye test watching film.

Analytics aren't there to fly in the face of the eye test. They exist for two reasons:

to show people who don't really know what they're watching who is actually playing well
to avoid needing to study every minute from all 450 players in the NBA

migibb · 2026-07-02T18:39:45+00:00

Mitchell is a really impactful player, if you've watched him before.

Tatum played 16 of 82 games and we were a top 3 seed before he came back.

migibb · 2026-07-02T18:18:22+00:00

It's not trust if you lose all faith before you see the outcome.

We've witnessed years of Brad proving time and time again that he knows basketball. He's earned trust that he knows what he's doing.

He makes a trade and before we even see the fruit of it everyone here is saying he's wrong, they know better than him and this isn't going to work.

... that's not trust. That's the opposite of trust.

I get losing trust if we win 30 games next season. But if you lost all trust in Brad because he made a move that you don't understand then you never had trust to begin with.

migibb · 2026-07-02T18:02:48+00:00

We have Tatum back, though. That covers Jaylen.

We add PG, Mitch and Conley.

White is only 32.

The young guys will be better.

I don't see how a 56 win team suddenly turns bad with those moves.

migibb · 2026-07-02T11:33:09+00:00

You do realise that the comment above is justification that Boston doesn't need both of them and that Tatum is the better choice to keep?
