Could chemistry be a concern if JT returns??
What do you make of Jaylen Brown's social media posts? Is this something or nothing? Jaylen has proven he can be the alpha and lead a team this year- Is the offense better this season?
Transcript
00:00needy plea for uh for love when he said he's not sure uh how coming back will affect the
00:06chemistry of the team I was wrong it's not him being needy it's the fact that he gets the vibe
00:12from Jalen Brown that Jalen Brown would you know clearly thinks he's the alpha and doesn't
00:18necessarily need Jason Tatum around on this team you agree I agree and then the the performance
00:24I told you the performance of Jalen Brown who's had on a tremendous year does not help this is
00:29like we all went to driving school when we were younger right yeah and driver's ed yep and remember
00:36in that one car the other guy had the the instructor had a stairwell brakes and everything this is two
00:43people trying to drive that vehicle and unfortunately I know they won a championship but unfortunately I
00:51think this ultimately is headed for disaster because in order for you to keep something going like this
00:58in basketball one guy has to be willing to concede that the other guy it's his team and I also
01:07think
01:07like I doubles advocate Jalen Brown could be posting this as like hey F all of you you guys thought
01:13that
01:13we were going to be terrible this season and look we were able to do it we were able to
01:16come together
01:17you don't need to do that though I agree but I'm just saying the issue here is that it's one
01:22guy
01:22who has not been on the court with you all season long who has been the main storyline take Al
01:27Horford
01:28out of it take uh it immediately points to the one guy who we're waiting to see when he's going
01:37to
01:37come back and people will immediately start drawing lines to oh Jalen doesn't think that he needs him
01:43back you guys know what's going to happen next he's going to be asked about it he's going to be
01:47petulant
01:48being like why are you reading into this I didn't mean anything by it it's like you know exactly
01:53what you're doing yeah it's vague booking as we used to call it when people were on Facebook and
01:59going you know you really can't trust some people and you know and they just post that so that you
02:05reach out and go oh wait a minute who can't you trust well just like your NEMA post on the
02:09roof
02:10like here's a 617 text that says the uh Jalen the east is weaker this year uh your inferiority
02:19complex is maddening and do you feel like he has an inferiority complex I don't I don't I think that
02:26and this is again could be a homer stand take I'm fully aware I just think that Jalen Brown holds
02:31himself to a high level and he's been doubted for so long I understand his want to show everybody like
02:37look I I can prove everybody wrong I can put this team on my back and he has and he's
02:41done a wonderful
02:42job but at the same time you can't do this at this point of the season when you're the star
02:48of the
02:48stars is expected to make a comeback it's you know whether you want to call it the inferior what you
02:55call inferiority complex inferiority complex or the jealousy complex because you got to understand this
02:59goes back to the you got to go back to the beginning so they draft Jalen Brown number three he
03:04gets
03:04booed he gets booed the very next year they draft Jason Tatum at number three yeah to be the guy
03:10so
03:11you you drafted a guy you didn't draft a big man the next year you didn't draft a point guard
03:16you
03:17basically drafted a guy who was very similar to my skill set to being to kind of like maybe replace
03:24me or be the guy and then ever since then who's the better player Jason Jason Tatum right but who
03:31has
03:31been the better player Jason Tatum right for the championship run but even in the championship run
03:38you could make that argument if you look at and that championship run I believe Jason Tatum was like
03:44the only player or maybe one of five players to average um I want to say something ridiculous not
03:52a triple double but close to a triple double double double the whole no the whole it was like the
03:56whole
03:56the whole um the whole NBA playoffs so and I know Jalen Brown dessert he got the the the MVP
04:03but we've
04:05been talking about this from day one you can't have two Batmans but we also been talking about for a
04:11while how Jalen Brown would be exposed because Jason Tatum got all the best defenders he always got
04:17double right and that is the opposite of what has happened right and I fully respect Jalen Brown being
04:22doubted saying this is bs I just think the timing yeah the way you're doing this like let everybody
04:29else that's what people are going to be talking about this weekend they're going to say what an
04:32unbelievable year for Jalen Brown and Joe Missoula they're going to praise them rightfully so up and
04:37down right now it's the worst it's the worst nightmare possible for a Boston Celtics front office
04:42yep because what happens you know probably not this year but when Jason Tatum is healthy next year
04:49and now Jalen Brown has already proven like I can put this team on my back I can be the
04:55the guy that
04:56has the ball in his hands 90 percent of the time and have our team do you think the two
05:01of them can
05:02continue to coexist no I don't I don't forward you don't think so Curtis no I think I said it
05:07sort
05:07of flippantly that it would be a good time to trade Jalen Brown right now because of right before
05:13before the deadline yeah but I mean we all know Chisholm likes shedding contracts maybe they do that at the
05:19the end of this year I'm telling you what does Jason Tatum say this morning how did he read that
05:24he's going to say that I was just proving people wrong it has nothing to do with Jason and I
05:28think
05:29that they can know he's saying that's what is Tatum how does Jason Tatum feel about it he has to
05:33internally feel some type of way yes I'm sure he does but I think that they can have a working
05:38relation like I think that this could not in the world of basketball Courtney you can get away with
05:42in other sports but in basketball there's one ball and generally there's one superstar on every team
05:47and everybody else knows their role and when you have two guys it just it don't work how is this
05:53one of the best basketball players in the world how humbly how is this a media creation this is his
05:59social media account he put this on there you can't get misquoted in your own interview this is
06:05to Rick from Boston hey it's that time of year Wiggy the annual spanking the annual I know basketball
06:14you just said that there's no way that these two guys can have both have one hand on the wheel
06:20and be successful post the championship you're saying this so stop for a second they won one
06:25championship one one that's possible for one I'm listening go ahead wait a second you're acting
06:31like they're bringing back James Harden no I'm not bringing back a guy who stop for a second let me
06:37finish you're acting like they're bringing back a selfish uh a guy who demands the ball who screams
06:44in the media who berates his teammates and acts like it's all about him if you looked at the character
06:50profile of every single player they've brought here of every single player that they've brought here
06:55there's a character level to those players this is not an issue for anybody but y'all and that's why
07:00JB can say the things that's why JB can say the things that he's saying because he understands the
07:05character of the guy he's riding with and the only people that don't understand that is you so let
07:11me ask you a question Tyra let me ask you this question okay wait when you watch them win a
07:15championship were the roles defined on what they did with the basketball yeah who was the ball dominant
07:24player when they won a championship oh let me guess Jason Tatum okay let me now let me ask you
07:31this
07:31question hold on if you you say you know basketball you know basketball who's the ball dominant who's
07:36the ball dominant player with the basketball this season Jalen Brown okay so when they both come back
07:45so when they both come back and they're both healthy who's the ball dominant player
07:51point guard who's the point guard and you just said the ball dominant player when they won the
07:58champion hold on no you got your time they won the championship was Jason Tatum Tarek he's feisty
08:03today no no no no no okay so who's the ball I asked the question so let's say so let
08:09me ask you I'm
08:10gonna go down your dark stupid road let's go down there we're in the dark alley and Jason Tatum
08:15Jason Tatum is the primary ball handler what is JB's reaction to that what is JB's reaction to that
08:21does he quit no no I don't he's not gonna quit does he start a fight no no no question
08:25does he start a fight
08:26no you want me to tell you you want me to tell you what he does can I can I
08:30tell you can I tell
08:31you what he does because Tarek can I tell you can I tell you what he does no here's what
08:38he does
08:39here's what he does and he's done it before I mean if this is the role I gotta play I'll
08:47do it
08:47I had to change for the fit into there's there I'm gonna have to change who I am to fit
08:52into this
08:53role all I'm saying is Jalen Brown has proven he can carry a team and he's proven he could do
09:00it
09:00from being the ball dominant player and Tarek's like a point guy a point guy that was a masterful
09:05performance by Tarek not answering the only thing that matters which is why the hell did he post that
09:10why if you're saying they're fine if you're saying they're good friends you never in a million years
09:16are compelled to post that and the only people that don't understand that is you when is the
09:22last time and he said the championship and I give him that they were able to coexist for that
09:27championship but Tatum was the ball dominant player Jalen Brown was with it was played his role but we
09:35all know he wasn't a huge fan of that role this is David David good morning good morning guys so
09:42this
09:42is a great topic because this is the only thing I have to say if the Celtics go all the
09:47way deep
09:47into the playoffs and if they win then what are we going to argue about because at that point it
09:55proves Jalen Brown has proven that he is Batman you mean if they go all the way with without and
10:02without Jason Tatum yes is it likely that they go all the way and win it without Jason Tatum no
10:10I don't
10:10but he doesn't have to go all the way he's already proven he could be Batman like this year alone
10:16and you know Courtney's been spot on but I'll give him his credit this year alone he's already proven
10:22he can be the guy I also think like we have to remember that them winning the championship it
10:27didn't it didn't just fall on Jalen Brown it didn't just fall on Jason Tatum Jalen Brown I think was
10:31the
10:31better player throughout but I don't think they win that championship without Jason or without Jalen like
10:36so it's not just Jalen Brown needing to prove himself without Jason Tatum to win a championship
10:41I don't necessarily know if Jason Tatum if he was the player on this team and Jalen Brown was
10:45out hurt that he could win a championship without Jalen yeah but to use Wiggy's analogy you can't have
10:51two Batman no I guess but we did and we won a championship you won one championship Jack and
10:56Kobe got along for a bit right and then sooner or later somebody has to be Scotty Pippen yes or
11:02you
11:02could be Luke Longley right but that's even Scotty Pippen didn't want to be Scotty Pippen like that's
11:07like all these people that try to jump into the basketball world of like okay I get what you're
11:11saying you can win a championship they won one but Jalen Brown is not the type personality to sit back
11:20and go okay I can be Robin because he believes and he's proven it that that's not who he is
11:27so when
11:27somebody has that mindset they're going to tell you every chance that they get hey I know this is
11:34my role it's not what I want to do but this is what I have to do more likely the
11:40Celtics win another
11:41championship with Jalen and Jason on the same team or they trade Jalen Brown that is more like that is
11:47more like from my perspective unfortunately I think they win the title this year right well and if they
11:52do win they'd have to get the Oklahoma City's balling right and the only team wiki uh to blow I
11:59think they were double digit point favorites in eight games that they've lost this year
12:05who are you talking about Oklahoma City yeah so they've been big favorites of games and lost many
12:10a bunch of them more than anybody else ever I know and I'm just saying the record on Thursday
12:15the record overall is pretty good hey listen I love the Celtics the West is loaded and I think the
12:20Celtics can't get to the NBA finals with just Jalen Brown but it would be extremely difficult
12:26to beat one of those Western Conference teams the where your texter says if you're a teammate
12:31you you don't post what he posted on Instagram which is a comparison of the stats without you know
12:38this year without Jason Tatum to last year you post something which says you know uh everybody said
12:44we weren't a contender and we're right there and we'll be even better when zero gets back like
12:51maybe he texted Tatum before he posted it and Tatum said do it do it maybe I think she is
13:00she's like
13:00listen she's a stan she's a sheep but I think the the the best analogy was from Chris Curtis this
13:06morning thank you and he said you know what if you're out Shyam's running the show and he says
13:15the ratings are better and without me right and imagine if he did that well I wouldn't have a job
13:20no no no no but all right but just work with us why do you think I didn't mention me
13:24and Bradford's
13:24great uh show over Christmas break oh what'd you guys do over the Christmas break I think it was
13:28like uh either Tuesday or Friday we uh we had like a nine it was great me and Bradford was
13:33that uh spicy
13:34thing that yeah wasabi challenge day that's exactly I I I hope Shyam shines in a in a lead role
13:40that's what I appreciate about appreciate about you you encourage right but but yeah but that's
13:44your personality imagine Greg had to go on paternity leave for three months and Shyam was dominate
13:49and then every don't need paternity leave and then every are you saying he's pregnant men deserve
13:54paternity leave just like women do hold on a second I was saying it as a joke I don't know
14:00if you were
14:01not I absolutely was I don't know if you were or not we know she wasn't I hope Santo isn't
14:05listening
14:06right now Santo has paternity that you are taking that completely out of context and twisting my
14:10words just like people were doing earlier this morning we we heard her this morning with uh
14:14Joe Judge she believes Santo get your ass to work no I'm the one having the baby nine months six
14:20months afterwards you need to get your twist this it's fine get your ass to work earlier too work and
14:26get
14:26up at night time to help me out with men's jobs are more important I was I was told that
14:31earlier
14:31but if if Greg was out for his paternity leave and Shyam was shining and then every chance that Shyam
14:39got
14:39when asked like hey you know how do you feel well you know I don't like the role that I'm
14:45in and as a
14:45producer now but I know I could do more but unfortunately I have to do it people would look at
14:51it and go
14:53Shyam doesn't like to be I do like the sound of that rise in Shyam on WEI okay uh hey
