Jaylen Brown was named Player of the Week on Monday, the third Celtics player to win the award this year (Derrick White, Jayson Tatum). Brown was great, but John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal thinks Brown still has a lot left he can do to reach his full potential. Plus, Gregg Popovich’s answer about his 2014 Spurs serves as a message the Celtics need to hear and take to heart. And, we’ll take a quick look to see if the Celtics can actually reclaim the top seed.

John, you are right. If Boston plays team basketball, nobody in the NBA is beating Boston four out of seven. Ja Morant knows this because he said the only team he is worried about is Boston.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pop is a legend and the fact that he’s been with the Spurs for 26 years speaks for itself. The next longest tenured coach is Spoelstra who’s got 15 yrs with Miami. Classy, honest, humble, outspoken and dedicated are the words that come to mind. Will be a sad day when he retires. Thanks John. 🙏🏻☘️🔒
I will be sad as a Basketball lifer when Pop retires. Agree JB can be this or better for the next 5 to 7 years is scary
Bucks biggest challenge (other than the Cs) is the 76ers.
76ers will need to win, they could drop below the Cavs, if they drop 3. Mavs, Celtics & Bucks could be those 3. Cavs have an easy road home, but 76ers hold the tiebreaker.
The fun end is the play-in Nets & Miami are fighting 6, but the run home for run home for Hawks & Raps is tough. I expect Bulls may jump into 8th. Rd 1 likely to be Miami, Nets or Bulls for 2 seed. 1 seed will be Nets, Miami, Bulls, Hawks or Raps.
Pacers & Wizards aren't complete dead rubber rhoufh especially next 2 which means Tomorrows game for the Cs & Wednesday for Bucks could be challenges if they don't show.
We will get the top seed. And we need to beat the bleep out of The Bucks on 30th to send them a message
John, I've always meant to ask you, and this is a good time. Do you think that the Celtic players listen to your comments? I've always wondered about that.
Miami is one game away from taking 6th seed, meaning if Boston stays at the second spot, we get to play Nets in the first round. Who you prefer: Nets or Heat? 🤔
If I'm not mistaken, LBJ and MJ were both 27 when they won their first titles.
