John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm open with some leftover thoughts from the Hawks game before diving into Jaylen’s recent excellence and how he’s been playing exactly how the Celtics need him to play.

I would trade Jaylen for towns at this point
JB needs some love
Great quality and content! Keep em coming.
First time live! Love the show
Happy to see Joe trying some of the 3rd unit players. Maybe Queta can be 3rd big option.
bout time the original Greek Freak (in a “Hey yoouu guuuuuys!” kinda way) is FINALLY giving JB his flowers.
now he just needs to apologize to Neemias Queta for minimizing his contributions in the Hawks game…
“well he had 6 offensive boards in 15 minutes but half of them were rebounding his own misses”
COME ON bruh… if it were THAT easy why doesnt anybody else on the roster do it?
but at least youve finally come around on JB… i fully expect a similar Neemi Queta apology video by the end of the season, altho any reasonable person would already recognize him as the best bigman on the roster not named Al or Kristaps 💪🏿

Ive never liked Jaylen Browns game and I just dont see how he fits on this team. If they dont win with this squad, I think its time to move on from The Jay's (but keep Tatum obviously)
I love the live premier!
Great show John once again 😆 love it
on the money john. yeah i like JB in give and go, backdoor cuts, DHOs, etc. i dont like JB in isos or even being the ball handler in any sort of PNR action. i'd like to see more JB screens as well.
He just refuses to adapt to his new role far too often. Super frustrating given he could drop 25 easy a night simply getting open off ball and cutting with this team. Tatum is the main guy. Browns had a tough time fully accepting that
The JAYs are getting Jewelry this season.

Analysis is what’s done here, and all the players aren’t immune from criticism. But some of these JB haters are bit much. We can’t trade him this year, period. Good pod on the positive side and he dunks like ‘Nique! #windmill
I have been a Jaylen Brown fan since his California Days in college, and I will continue to be all the days of his life as a Celtic! You see I'm a real Jaylen Brown fan! 🙏😀

Jalen embracing the 2 man game with KP might be the best thing that happened. Hopefully he likes it well enough that he gravitates to playing that way with the other guys too. You know that was always the brass ring for the Jays – was always the goal for them to play off each other instead of taking turns. Almost never happened but if it ever did…… in the meantime if JB can get things going with some of the other guys on the team it will be great. I wish Mazulla would stop encouraging this jack it up from three early in the shot clock stuff though. I blame that crap on Mazulla as much ir more than the players- his philosophy is the quicker we shoot it the more shots we take and the more shots the better we do. Not if its 30 footers shot at 30 percent at 5 seconds into the shot clock we don't
The right way to get more attempts than the opposition is to get stops force turnovers and battle on the boards. Not waste possessions hoisting up threes seconds into the shot clock
JT mumber 1 issue is holding the ball. JT has too many turnovers. They will not win chip if Tatum plays how he plays.
