I love what Jaylen Brown is doing on the court, and I lke Rachel too, but, come on, JB in person is the most annoying player who comes across as self-absorbed and pretty petulant. It's the "I'm more than a basketball player" nonsense. If you weren't an awesome NBA player, no one would care about you. That's life. That said, he gets more attention than 99.9% of us because of us.
The Celtics will EVENTUALLY win banner 19
How would you put Brunson over Beown ? Brunson has more team and shoots a bit less percentage and can’t guard his grandma
Celtics have some pretty good recent draft picks in Gonzalez and Walsh, who've stepped up for this current record as well.
What Jaylen Brown and the Celtics are doing is nothing but utterly SHOCKING, and he definitely deserves MVP. I don't really see anyone playing better than him this season so far 🤷
Hey Chris remember when you said sixers were going to be better than the Celtics this year
Chris your predictions are never right
I’m a true Celtics fan; however this team is not built for the playoffs yet. Knicks big men too much right now.
Trade Tatum
The Boston Celtics are the best team in the NBA that nobody is talking about practically they are basically invisible and they will remain that way until at least JUNE
Mannix are the Celtics a playin team? Lol
I Brad We Trust!
You all are forgetting Amari Williams
2nd seed?
I agree! I didn’t see this coming. Coach of the year! What an unlikely development.
A lot of this constantly sounds like someone who’s never watched Jalen and Jason play together before. They don’t get any feathers away. You split them most of the time anyways. Tatum plays point guard. He’s taking white and Pritchards touches.
Tatum could be the big that the Celtics need this year.
Jaylen Brown is in my MVP list for sure! He is an elite player!
Put it this way, if Tatum is able to come back this season he will immediately be an upgrade over the 4th starter(s) the Celtics have been cycling thru all season long (Walsh, Minott, Hauser, Hugo). Simply by being a better rebounder and offensive player. That would be a huge boost and he wouldn’t necessarily need to be the same Tatum of old yet
I’d put it on Brown spreading the ball better and letting guys like Pritchard & Simons handle the ball more. Pritchard and Simons have stepped up as well as Walsh & Hauser, Queta and all of the young guys who are contributing and hitting 3’s…
Chris doesn't know nothing about Basketball or Boxing lol 😂😂😂
Celtics and Patriots defying all odds right now👌🏼🥳
I thought this year would be good for Celtics to discover which of their young players would develop. I figured one and hoped for two, but the development of all of the young talent has been a pleasant shock
manix has been one of the most wrong well known analysts atleast for the Celtics for a pretty long time.
ATTENTION ALL NBA FANS
Mark my word Tatum is 💯 % going to mess up the rhythm of this team and if this team is going to become that dynasty then brad stevens needs to consider trading Tatum for Giannis I mean look at what Boston can possibly have?
*P.Pritchard
*D.White
*Jaylen Brown
*Giannis
*Queta
Lol internally I bet thy didn’t say we aren’t gonna compete for a championship this upcoming season?
