Why would he tip his hand to the league on if he’s coming back? There are no great teams this yr. With Tatum the Celtics can win it all. If he’s 100% stop the nonsense and bring him back. If he’s not, don’t.
Its the mental fear of reinjuring his achilles. Players who've gone through this like Dame, Klay, KD and Hail a month later after JT, have reached this mental block. Where they're physically ready but mentally they're unsure. Its common to have some reservations after what he went through, but like KD, Klay, Dame and eventually Hali, he'll get through it.
Mazz is correct, if anyone took the time to listen to this all the way thru. It seems like the front office is tempering tatum more than anything, and Jaylen also is telling them, screw yall, we can do this.
For context, Felger is a Bucks fan and hates the Celtics and their fans. That's why if you force yourself to listen to his opinions on the 🍀, you end up asking yourself: what is this 💩?
Browns stuff come off as passive aggressive esp with Tatum out rn but there’s NO WAYYYYYYYT JT SHOULD COMEBACK ITS THE WORST INJURY YOU CAN HAVE IN PRO SPORTS IN 2026 you can’t have the literal franchise comeback and get hurt or re aggravated again – I’d also ship out brown asap
What are these guys seeing, their takes make no sense. The Celtics are an elite team this year, through developing young role players at really cheap prices. Getting out of the tax was a luxury, not a necessity, it just happens we have an elite GM and elite coach who built a contender in the gap year. I think Tatum and the C's are just tempering expectations so that the team doesn't have to deal with media constantly talking about only that, and to avoid distraction while they continue to bring the rest of the team along. I'd guess Tatum comes back in mid March and ramps up progressively. He won't be at his normal 100%, but maybe 80% of his normal self? Really think we could make a surprise run for a title in the weak Eastern conference!
Blameless??! What the hell is this entire segment? The Celtics getting under the tax involved trading one decent bench player that they couldn't re-sign anyway for a need (size), and a bunch of end-of-bench players. They didn't trade the future, they didn't trade the developing talent, and they didn't trade the core. Nobody gave up on the season. There's also no indication that the owners are TRYING not to win, even if it were proven that it wasn't their primary objective this season. BTW, there are also legitimate basketball reasons for wanting to be under the tax, not just the owners being selfish at the expense of the team.
Brown showing the record of the team is just a sign that he is proud of the team. It is not "F you, Mazzulla / F you Tatum / This is in defiance of the ownership being determined not to contend." There is no mention at all of jealousy in the post, or of Brown complaining, or of some diabolical ploy to screw over someone.
Also, there's no reason to suspect that Tatum isn't returning. There are legitimately psychological reasons for him to doubt himself a little bit. Meanwhile, there's no reason that he's practicing with the Maine team if he's not playing until October.
So you created 4 different conspiracy theories based on perhaps-innocuous things that have happened, and then the fans are soft for trusting the team just because you don't?
Its not that he is having a great season its that he knows he was always better snd rightfully pissed, you guys the media saying he is just having a great season instead of oh was he always just better or atleast equal to the people who have the radio and tv shows, thats why he tweets that to tell you so you talk about it cause if not just kwep takking about if tatum comes back while hes top 3 in mvp
Idk this sounds like a reach pinning the stars against each other…I agree it’s asking for his respect though. Brown is showing that he can hold the fort and that the organization can trust him while JT rest up

More crystal ball humpin' nonsense. What's your Magic 8 Ball say ? Who cares.

I don’t think brown will stay healthy all year like Tatum has except for last year playoffs. But the divisiveness isn’t necessary
Brown the best two way player in the league… What a joke ! 😂😂😂
Tatum is coming back. He just wants to lower expectations. He thought he was coming back to a play in team.

Every player should take year off at some pt heal up slow wear and tear.
You guys are toxic to this team

The Celtics are 29th in assist per game compared to 20th last year and 15th the year before , Brown isn’t a better facilitator than Tatum

Why not tell Brown the plan. That it will be best for the team going forward. Felger always knows better.
Tatum is a diva that wants all eyes on him…
See how far JB can take them

I just took it as he was proud of how they played after losing 3 of their top players. These dopes can create a controversy over nothing.

Sweaty and Clammy Jimmy
Tatum is trolling he’s definitely coming back bank on it
