We LOVE Jaylen 7uice !! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀JB always classy, elite, professional. The consummate team player getting it done.
JB is a nice speaker, but until JT starts playing the right way like he did in the beginning of the season, this team is not getting past the Bucks.
Coach and the players gotta give the ball to the hot hand. When someone is on fire keep giving them the ball. They never differ to Brown in the end when he heats up it’s always in Tatums hands when it shouldn’t be they need to make some adjustments down the stretch
you'll be singing a different tune soon cause yall always going back and forth
JB talk to Marcus about his trophy and get him back in that frame of mind on defense remember the glove and stop worrying of the referee you can do it nuff respect let’s go Cs ☘️☘️☘️🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
I will be attending the game tomorrow here in Portland. I will be bleeding green and sitting 20 rows up behind Celtics bench!! My first Celtics game after being a fan for over 40 years out here on the west coast!!! ☘️☘️🍀🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy Saint Patrick's Day 🎉🎉
Last month flavor…DWhite. This week flavor..Brown . 😂
They should of let JB have the last shot in Houston. That was crazy, dude had 43 points and Tatum was on a stinker. 🙄
Absolutely love how JB is playing. Shut Tatum down a few games he needs rest period… let him be that cheerleader for a few games get healthy and rested and be ready for the run
Tatums slump is completely mental. He is missing shots that he knows he can make however he is failing to understand that his shot is not falling and that he has to try and create for others. He has had this issue his whole career and I hope he can overcome it
Happy Patty’s ☘️
Brown Has been the energy guy for years but now he’s confident and tested enough to lead and speak his mind. I think Jaylen used to be nervous about last minute free throws so wasn’t the closer in the past but yeah it’s time for them to close as a team. I don’t like both Grant and Marcus closing a game together though. Grant got a big rebound last game but overall need another shooter closing. Tatum needs to close at the 4. Your right too they need to just play the game down the stretch and go with their instincts. They have a bunch of playmakers and should use it to their advantage. Don’t let defenses key up on two guys.
All the time JB has been my favorite player, I think is in the same Level of JT
Brown plays hard all the time while Joe's heroes Tatum and of course the pathetic Smart are loved by all- Jaylen really plays too hard from the beginning of the game to be for this team-he embarrasses joe's pet
we have no offense we have one on one Mazzula garbage
69th like, nice
He deserves more credit for how he's really stepped up and showing that he's really fighting to finish what they started 🍀💯
At this rate, as good as Tatum is, I think we're quickly reaching a point where Jaylen Brown becomes the leader of this team. Jayson's mentality has hurt this team and Smart doesn't seem to have the mental drive he has before he got hurt.
i think the C's milk the clock too much when they have big leads, putting much more pressure into one shot/attempt rather than attacking earlier, moving the ball and generating good looks. And by milking the clock, putting too much pressure on themselves and attacking via iso, they need to exert a lot more wasted energy that they could have used playing defense. And whoever is doing those iso's will now be a gap on their defense because they will be a step slow. AND, they do it waaaaay too early like 5-6mins left in the quarter if they have the lead. like what?
This team is actually making it hard for themselves by playing individual games. If they can just come together and be on the same page, they can spend little energy in their offense and more energy on the defense.
I think that this is a composure problem for Smart, Tatum and Grant Williams. I think when those guys start playing basketball, the Celtics will look good again.
Al Horford, Jaylen Brown, White and Brodgon have been staying level to the benefit of their team.
They playing to much hero ball
