  1. As a Celtics fan, Celtics crowds are the worst… For a second I thought I was watching a pre season game… It's the playoffs raise fcking roof!!

  2. Brown is the real star of the Celtics. Not making an all nba team this year and Tatum making the first team is an absolute crime

  3. Brown’s doing what Tatum is supposed to do, and making shots that Tatum will likely miss too.. but he’s no Mvp type.. not getting 40 against either Minnesota or Dallas’s defence in the Finals

  4. But he can't go to his left…they shouldn't pay a guy that much money unless he can go to his left!!! Lol That was the ridiculous summer song all last year.
