70!! needs 46.

Imagine that.

Tatum's got 84 pts, in 1.5 Games.
Kevin McHale has the Celtics 2-Game record at 98 (56+42).

He’s playing hurt. Would you rather have Semi out there?


then pass it, doesn't have to take 50 shots.

Can someone explain why Brown is shooting so much in a game where he isn't hitting shots and he was questionable but there are games where he is on fire and doesn't even shoot 18 times?

Negative!


Brown is young, and a star, and a great person.. no question. but I am starting to wonder if there was a way to get another Young star instead, would he be a better fit?

Either way there should be some trade thread fodder for this :D
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

He will start hitting them. How often is Jaylen or Jayson cold in the first half and explodes in the second? Jesus, people here cut Jaylen no slack and the guy is playing hurt.

Jesus guys lay off Jaylen he had a bad shooting night last game and a shaky start here he’s shootings 50% from the field and 44% from 3 in April he’s fine. He’s had maybe like 3 “ok relax Jaylen” shots so far not that different from his 38 and 39 points games he had like four days ago.

That said if we can get someone clearly better for the team I mean as sad as it would be to trade my favorite player you kind of have to.

It's not just this game. He hasn't played particularly well for a while. I just think he's too limited of a player especially when just about the only thing he does is try to take guys off the job and go to the hoop.

Edit I shouldn't say he hasn't played well in a while he has but he's still pretty limited as to what he can do.

I edited my post I shouldn't have said a while. I still think he's too limited as a player I'd be interested to see what Danny could get for him. I don't think he particularly compliments Tatum well.
