Boston Cetlics mailbag: Easiest playoff opponent, Jaylen Brown double standard
Kristaps Porzingis won East Player of the Week, Neemias Queta got a full NBA contract, and Isaiah Thomas is sticking with the Phoenix Suns. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal touches on all those news items before opening up the mailbag to answer questions about regretting the Dalano Banton trade, Jayson Tatum’s free throw routine, handling the wait for a first round opponent, who the easiest opponent would be, why the NBA is so normal this season, and the double standard from fans about Jaylen Brown.

Happy for Neemi

I want miami. At this point it's gonna be the Heat or Philly. I'd rather not have to make horford bang bodies with embiid in the first round, considering he's likely gonna have to do it against the bucks and Denver in the later rounds. Keep him rested and ready for the later rounds!
Will be a crazy final week in the West-with Boston not playing for anything but perhaps momentum, I'll be looking fwd to MIN-DEN, GSW-LAL and a few other games. There"s a huge clusterfck from 5-10 and 5-8 in the East. Should be fun, and thank God we can just chill and don't have to sweat it out as far as seeding goes-Boston took care of business. Thanks John. ☘🔒
Nobody wants to meet Miami in the first round
lol thanks you for stating that fans are fans and all fan bases are spewing.
Banton > O Brissy
This Celtics team won’t make it to eastern conference finals ….it is Overrated and doesn’t have the coaching and toughness needed to make it
