Jayson Tatum DOES NOT Like Sitting Games: “There’s so many fans out there” | Celtics Postgame

Um Sam played great obviously hit 10 threes 10 for 13 um take he took a lot of all great shots and we just did a good job of finding the the guy with the high hand um unfortunately he had to lead the game um we were trying to get

Him like to break the record um but you know he seem to be doing fine what kind of discussion you guys have during the game I saying you guys no play Closer quick talking about I mean it simple just scream for him get them open and told him to if he

Had any daylight Let it Fly Jason for you at this point in the season you know 10 games up in the standings or so what’s the balance for you you know continuing to play stay in that Rhythm and resting and I know you’ve said the pass Brad wants you a

Rest a lot of times and you you know don’t really want to do that what kind of conversations do you have at this point in the year with him and Joe and everybody uh I mean been here seven years they understand kind of what they’re dealing

With um I don’t like to sit out you know I understand if if I was injured or whatever um but I said it before I just love to play play the game especially on the road so many fans out there uh with Tatum zero jerseys or came to see me

Play uh so I kind of take pride in U making sure I’m available as much as I can for you you typically come out out early in the first quarter a couple times over the last couple weeks you played that full first quarter including tonight how do you I don’t Joe said you

And him kind of communicate about that how does that impact you or you know just what’s it like being able to get that full rhythm in the first rather than your normal rotation and what do you think is going to work best for you you know come playoff time in that sense

I think it’s just uh it’s a field thing um obviously if I’m in a great Rhythm you know understand Joe will probably lead me in and I think you know when we have certain guys out right JB normally plays the whole first and when he’s you

Know if I’m playing he’s not um you know I understand I’m probably going to play though that rotation um but you know most of my career I always came out kind of first and went back in with the second unit so um just what I was used

To speaking of the fans tonight um what was it like to play in an away game that was pretty much all green uh it was great um it’s become the norm a lot of places we go and you just you really appreciate the the fans right how well we travel um

With our fan base and the the love and support that they show us um everywhere we go Jason playing without three starters number one how what is your mindset going into those games knowing like you said that there won’t be JB’s not there kp’s not there I think more so

For the other guys getting the opportunity um to step up and and play Big minutes and uh you know that’s why we have that stay ready group right for for days like this um where we can just plug and plug in certain guys in certain positions and moments and um the

Expectation is that we don’t skip a beat we don’t miss a step um so I think for those guys that’s coming off the bench that implementing a starting lineup or playing more minutes when guys are out um I think you know they’re they’re always ready and you

Know they they work really hard at it um and and it shows uh when it’s just seamless right when when whenever guys are out we don’t really miss a beat and you’ve talked about it you guys have learned from the past but I think the

Way Al phrased it you were on an edge from the beginning tonight in other instances you may have looked past the Wizards what kind of mentality do you guys have and and why is that different this year uh understanding what we’re trying to do really just trying to get

Better every single day um and respecting the game and respecting the opponent by going out there and playing the right way whether it’s a banged up team who hasn’t had a great season or it’s his National TV game you know trying to go out there with the same mentality every single

Night Jason I’m not sure how familiar you were with Justin champeny but he made his first NBA start tonight and he got the assignment to guard you so I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on the matchup and what he brought to the game yeah uh obviously he was with

Us for a lot of portion of the year last season so uh obviously happy for him you know he’s bounced around a little bit but that’s an accomplishment right to something you can be proud of obviously how hard he’s worked to get to this moment

To um start in an NBA game now a lot of people can say that so I was happy for him last question for Adam Jason you obviously been on some really good teams here but none of them have been positioned like this to kind of dictate

Your terms over the last 3 weeks of a season um what do you want to kind of extract from these games and kind of gain down the stretch heading the playoffs like what what do you hope in a few weeks to look up and be like this is

Useful from the stretch for us um I think just seeing how different lineups work well with each other obviously like tonight we didn’t have three guys and uh whatever the case may be throughout the rest of the season uh I think it’s an opportunity for us to try some things

Try some different lineups um different rotations uh and see you know what we may can do in the playoffs
