  1. Like I've been saying for a while Tatum and Brown should play their entire careers together in BOS 😤.

  2. Tatum and brown really step up when it really matters the most with some tuff shots ☘️☘️☘️🔥🔥

  3. Gonna be tough getting past Philly, especially with how often Boston lapses during games.

  4. This is the dynamic duo we’ve seen all last year in the playoffs , literally this is what every sports analyst or ESPN nut job thought they couldn’t play well together ?
    This is unfinished business for the Boston Celtics 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

  5. Best Duo of the NBA but not All Time.MJ and Scottie number 1.
    Kobe and Shaq number 2.
    Steph and Klay number 3.
    Lebron and Dwade number 4.
    Tatum and Brown is just number 5.

  6. If Tatum and Brown are both on fire to close out games consistently through the playoffs, Boston is going to be a tough out
