Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown show maturity for Boston Celtics & Al Horford wasn’t that bad in Game 3
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both showed a lot of maturity in Game 3, taking some criticism to heart but not overdoing it to a point where they were trying to do too much. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm discuss both of their games and then get into Al Horford’s defensive night, which was not nearly as bad as people think, Also, Donovan Mitchell is in God-mode, but how much longer can keep it up?

Happy Mother's day John and everyone else
☘️☘️☘️
Glad Tatum broke out of his slump
Game 4 adjustments find a way to prevent Al from switching on to Mitchell
thank you Tom and John
YAYYY
Super happy Tatum had a great game to shut the talking heads up. For a second there it seemed like his scoring was more important to the media than the Celtics winning. Crazy 😂
I want to see more sam Hauser this is the perfect series for him
My two best friends from college and I meet up once a year in a random place. We did Cleveland a few years ago, and, ya know, really enjoyed it.
PP was indeed clutch this game.
Sam deserved more mins. He was subbed out too early. Joe is playing these guys too many mins. Need to trust the bench more. Wouldve liked to see more X too.
With Luke injured (calf), Joe better play X a good amount of mins. We could even see spot brissy mins.
Horford's defense is fine as long as we ice everyone else. I'd change some defensive rotations so mobley doesnt pick on white/jrue on the roll if donovan passes to mobley. I'd rather put al on okoro or if we keep al on mobley, put jb/jt on donovan.
To prevent opposing 4Q runs, do 3 things:
1. Dont let opponent shoot 3s
2. Crash the glass
3. Make high percentage 2s.
Play more X, this series fits him and also is Bos wants to play JT @ the 5 X will be an interesting pairing
Hope all the moms enjoyed their day today! 💐
Thanks John & Tom☘️🔒
wedding ring is on the index finger 🧐 is John losing weight getting ready for a return to the hardwood?? 🤔
Al horford was terrible 2pt? C'mon now.
Mitchell ate him alive and was missing wide open threes.
But it's on the coach, can't play him a lot of minutes at his age.
Barrio also has a location in Portsmouth NH. I wont give my thoughts since it's my cousin's business but people should really give it a try
Game 3 was the best game they’ve played yet. Loved the intensity and effort, but maturity? That gets answered after Game 4. This team has repeatedly made the same mistakes over and over and seemingly is incapable of learning lessons. All that is never more evident than after a win. It’s never following a loss that concerns me, it’s after a win that concerns me. Hoping they’re able to give the same level of intensity and effort for Game 4.
John you spoil us with a bonus pod! And always nice to see Tom! Thank you! 🍀
The narratives of those self proclaimed basketball gurus keeps changing every after a game!!! Wherever whenever they will get noticed they will make their ridiculous proclamations.
See, this is why I like John and Tom… and cannot stand F&M on Sports Hub. You guys see the cup half full and F&M always see it half empty. C's can have the most perfect game in NBA history and F&M will b*tch and moan. Too much negativity in the world, I had to shut them off. Give me LoC any day, more balanced!
C's in 5 🤟☘️☘️☘️💪💪💪💪💪
Happy mother's day to all the moms❤❤
How do you know what I think about Jason's defense?
I believe it is Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown time to win the 18th NBA for the Celtics especially if Kristap Porzingis has fully recovered from calf injury.
Giving it attention is not equivalent to allowing it to bother him, is what I think Jayson Tatum meant.
Jrue Holliday mentioned the atmosphere as well.
Glen Ordway reference. Nice…
I’m not waiting for a big Tatum game from deep . Just give me Gm 3 Jt every night.
Think u meant wiz khalifa and snoop dogg wit the “so what we get drunk, so what we smoke weed, we’re jus havin fun, we dont care who see” song😂 nit bruno John💪🏽
