00:00There is so much drama between Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum, but it is embarrassing when these two men who
00:09spent a decade together, these two men who at one point were tight, tight enough to be here in Vegas,
00:18playing basketball with each other, pick up, working, getting ready for the year.
00:23These two men had a relationship in some form or fashion.
00:27Now, how deep did it go? Was it really just on the surface? It wasn't a real friendship, whatever it
00:33was, but they had a relationship where if you get on the court with a guy you played with for
00:41years and he walks over to you to shake your hand and your reaction is to spin a basketball like
00:49you're a fifth grader.
00:51What is going on with Jalen Brown? How? I can't believe LeBron James did not talk to him before pregame
00:58and say, Hey man, if JT is walking around and dapping everybody up, just shake his hand.
01:04Like don't, you don't need to keep it going. Like the beef is going to be there. The drama is
01:11going to be there. You don't need to keep it going in front of thousands on national TV on NBC
01:19with everybody watching.
01:21You don't need to do that. Just shake his hand. After the game, Jalen Brown went to every single Celtics
01:28player and shook the hand of every single player except for Jason Tatum.
01:33Like, I mean, what are we doing? It's ridiculous. And I don't blame Jason Tatum after the game. He tried
01:40to shake Jalen Brown's hand pregame and Jalen Brown stood there spinning a basketball in front of everybody.
01:47It wasn't like this was before the game. It wasn't like it was some in a hallway somewhere. This was
01:52that center court where normally all five starters shake the hands of the other five starters.
01:58Jalen Brown ignored Jason Tatum. It didn't feel right. It felt wrong. It felt awkward. It felt like you were
02:07watching some breakup between a marriage, you know, a divorce that just didn't end right.
02:14It's a really Bill Simmons had a really funny email or last night about the relationship between the two guys
02:20and like Jason Tatum is the person, the man or the woman in the divorce who wound up with the
02:26kids who wound up with the house.
02:27Who wound up with the bank account who wound up winning in the divorce and the other guy is man
02:33or man or female oftentimes the male is sitting in like a two-bedroom condo somewhere pining over his ex
02:40-wife anger at the court system for robbing him and just being bitter all the time and screaming into the
02:46wind about how life is unfair.
02:49Like get up and move on with your life because clearly you did not bring your a game.
02:56He was awful last night. The Celtics blew out the Sixers, but you don't as this is from the New
03:03York Times and I love this. The New York Times wrote this. Here's what you don't do in a revenge
03:07game.
03:07You don't get into foul trouble early with Jalen Brown did. You don't force the issue on offense, which is
03:13what Jalen Brown always does. You have as many turnovers as you do made baskets because that's the dirty secret
03:19of Jalen Brown's game. He's a walking turnover.
03:21You're a non-factor when you are on the floor and you have the worst plus minus of anybody on
03:27the floor, a minus 27 with Jalen Brown on the floor. Four of nine, nine points, four turnovers in 25
03:36very non-influential and consequential moments in minutes for Jalen Brown.
03:43I mean, if he thought he was going to go and send a message to everybody in Boston, everybody with
03:47the Celtics of like, huh, look at me. You lost me. No, that was, I mean, if you're Brad Stevens,
03:54you're like, here you go. You want to know why we traded him? That's why. Is he a good player?
04:02There's no debating Jalen Brown's a very good player. I saw somebody call Jalen Brown a top 10 player in
04:08the NBA this morning. Like, no.
