Jayson Tatum Rumors

Draymond Green: “The big question is: what’s next for this Boston team? Is it the end of the Jaylen Brown–Jayson Tatum era? I would say no. I don’t think it’s the end of their era. Look at the success they had this year with Jayson Tatum out most of the year, and then with Jayson Tatum coming back and them having success, ultimately getting ahead to a 3-1 lead. Obviously, they squandered the lead away, but you got right where you wanted to be.

“Definitely thought we could have played a bit faster, you know what I mean?” Jaylen Brown said. “When they score, take the ball out, get down the court. And just overall, just not good enough tonight. Can’t sum it up where, just a lot of different areas were not good enough. We’ll watch it, and we’ll make sure that we’ll come out — we got to make sure we come out with the right energy, the right mindset, the right mentality on the road in Philadelphia. So that’s what I’m looking forward to.” The Celtics didn’t need to make outside shots early to build a double-digit lead. After sinking a 3-pointer with seven minutes left in the second quarter, Jayson Tatum looked up and could be seen saying, “Thank you.” Before the make, he had missed his first four 3-point attempts. As a team, the Celtics misfired on 11 of their first 14. And still, his basket gave them a 42-31 lead.
