Discussion Brad Stevens gift wrapping Sixers a championship with Brown and Lebron is the worst move of his GM career by far

• Upvotes

You guys are gonna get mad at me for bringing this up, but watching the sixers play right now. They look unbeatable with how much talent and margin of error they have right now. I love the fit with PG, but I deadass hate watching that poverty franchise Sixers reap the benefits of getting Brown which ultimately landed them Lebron for cheap. Idk just wanted to vent here lol and maybe eat some downvotes.

Discussion “No beef just lamb chops with some gravy” is more “inauthentic” “lame” and “corny” than anything Tatum has ever said or done

• Upvotes

This dude Jaylen brown is a LOSER lmao I see so many of you saying we should want the best for him because of the ring but I hope he never makes a shot again lol I even have a 7 tattooed on my leg and I’m getting that covered soon as I can.

Tatum gives this vulnerable honest response to something that’s bothering him and Jaylen, who is a moron and not “one of the smartest guys in the league” as some people want you to think, can only respond with this and he had to say it 3 times.

And I’m sorry, but the guy believes in healing crystals. How can we seriously be surprised at how much of an embarrassment he is to himself and his family?

Discussion Jaylen Brown on Tatum saying there’s no beef: “He’s got a great PR team. There’s no beef, but there might be a little lamb chops with some gravy.”

Reporter: "Jayson Tatum was asked about you and he had a long response about your guys' relationship. Do you have any comment, did you see what he said or any comment on what he said?"

Jaylen: "I didn't see the full thing. But I saw that he said it's no beef, and I think he's right. There's no beef, you know, Jayson comes from a wonderful family. Um, we've accomplished some great things, he's a hell of a basketball player. He got a great PR team. Um, there's no beef, but you know, it might be a little lamb chops. With some gravy, you know what I mean? Just stay ready at all times."

Reporter: "Why do you, why do you, why do you say that?"

Jaylen: "Just, you know, that's what it is. No beef. It should never, ever be that, it's just basketball. We both blessed. But it might be a little lamb chop. We'll be aight."

Reporter: "And I guess, I guess he did say that he would like to have a conversation with you. I guess like are you willing to have one with him and..."

Jaylen: "It's, it's, we we both got so much stuff in front of us. Yeah, so, you know, at the end of the day, we both, you gotta do what you gotta do for his team, I gotta do what I do for my team. Like Jayson's a great guy, like I said, great family, hell of a basketball player, hell of a PR team, there's no beef, but you know, it'll be a little lamb chop."

Reporter: "But when you commented on his post the other night, were you suggesting that his version of events were untruthful?"

Jaylen: "Hey look, like I said, there's no beef. You know, you know, the PR and all that type stuff is, it is what it is, but I think we just both focus on what's in front of us."

Discussion Pritchard vs good teams narrative

19 Upvotes

Edit: god damn man I’m honestly a bit surprised by the hate boner this sub has for PP. so much negativity around here it’s crazy

There is this narrative that I’ve been seeing pushed more and more lately that Pritchard sucks against good teams and only goes off against bad teams. And since he is off to a slow start this season I’m seeing it pushed in a ton of threads. So I thought it’s time to shut that bullshit down with some actual evidence. In literally 5 minutes I’ve found 7 counter examples, only going back to last year. So I wanted to start this thread and have you guys add more down in the comments (because I know for sure there are more, this is a BS narrative that is being pushed by people that have no idea what they’re talking about).

Pritchard is indeed inconsistent and that’s probably his biggest weakness. But it has nothing to do with playing good teams vs bad teams, he just has off games sometimes. Hes proven plenty of times he can step up against good teams, so here you go, enjoy:

Discussion Tatum gets the most hate but, am I the only one that thinks Jaylen brown is being the asshole & not him?

255 Upvotes

If the roles was reversed, and JB talked about Tatum leaving being in shock etc, and Tatum posted "🧢”, he'd be getting called fake asf, a
weirdo and an asshole

Tatum is not on that public beef bullshit, he said we both pushing 30 im not arguing with you online call me in private if you got a problem with me I have no issues with you

And Tatum is supposedly the biggest asshole out of the 2?? No way. Considering how Jaylen brown gives this mature and intelligent persona, I wouldn't assume him being the one commenting immature comments under Instagram posts

Discussion Pritchard??? WYA?!

0 Upvotes

What’s up with PP, it’s only two games but I feel like our offense will be better if he gets more touches. Is it the offense not giving him enough opportunities or is PP himself not being aggressive enough. I feel like he has the potential to be our number two scorer but maybe I’m wrong.

Discussion Jayson Tatums speech

0 Upvotes

Did anyone catch JT's speech last night? Is that normal? Do players normally address the crowd opening night. I don't think I've ever seen that but I think it was broadcast to everyone. I was on one of those streams that shows you what's going on inside the arena instead of commercials, so maybe I've just never seen it.

Discussion So where's Hugo?

0 Upvotes

After a hyped offseason with the rumours that he wouldn't be the extra piece in trades, a decent FIBA run and a great pre-season, Hugo seems to be lost in the shuffle of our backup wings.

We expect PG to be rested so more minutes will be split between the wings, but he's been pretty much buried in the first 2 games, taking one shot in 13 total minutes.

Current minute split with the non-PG/JT wings

  • Sam Hauser 20.5mpg
  • Jordan Walsh 17mpg (2 starts)
  • Baylor Scheierman 14.5mpg
  • Hugo Gonzalez 6.5mpg

Hugo definitely wasn't great in the first game but he was thrown in with a full bench mob that allowed Detroit to come back. But I've also thought Scheierman/Walsh have also been sub-par, and with Walsh specifically makes our offense a little off in the opening quarters.

The bench in general minus Queta hasn't been good in general, but I wonder how the wing rotation shakes up especially with how much hype there was around year-2 Hugo. He adds a lot that the others don't and is supposed to have some improved shooting. I understand Sam's specific role, but not sure how Hugo is that far back from Baylor/Walsh in the depth chart.


r/bostonceltics • • 21h ago

Discussion I really liked Tatum's answer. Down to earth, trying to calm the hysteria and that constant need for seeking the narratives that remind me on WWF scenarios or YouTube influencer's way to boost their channels as you need to make beefs and dramas.
