00:00Well, Greg, you guys have referenced it a few times, so we should play the audio.
00:03Here is Jalen Brown when asked about the beef between him and Jason Tatum.
00:09I didn't see the fourth thing, but I saw that he said there's no beef, and I think he's right.
00:15There's no beef.
00:16You know, Jason comes from a wonderful family.
00:19We've accomplished some great things.
00:20He's a hell of a basketball player.
00:22He's got a great PR team.
00:24I mean, there's no beef, but, you know, it might be a little lamb chops and some gravy.
00:30You know what I mean?
00:30He should stay ready at all times.
00:32Why do you say that?
00:34Just, you know, that's what it is.
00:36No beef.
00:37It should never, ever be that.
00:38It's just basketball.
00:39We both bless.
00:40But it might be a little lamb chop.
00:42We'll be all right.
00:44Okay.
00:46Great.
00:47Now I have to have lamb lollipops for lunch from the Capitol Grill.
00:53So he should stay ready at all times.
00:56What does that mean?
00:57I think Jalen is just kind of like, he's being a little bit petty.
01:01I don't think he means like anything wild, but stay ready.
01:04But he, because he references the PR team twice.
01:08So he's kind of like, listen, bro, I don't got no beef with you.
01:12You know.
01:13He clearly has beef with him.
01:15No, I mean like real beef.
01:16Like he might be looking at it like you and I, whatever it is,
01:20we come from two different worlds off the court.
01:22We didn't really rock with each other on the court.
01:24We did what we did.
01:25Like, I don't have like real, like real, real Kobe Shaq type of beef with you.
01:30And I'm just like, we need to stop with you now responding and saying like,
01:35you didn't know, like, let's keep it.
01:36I think he's more saying, just keep it real, Jason.
01:38Yeah.
01:38I think that he thinks Jason Tatum is, is fake.
01:41And that's why he keeps referencing the PR team.
01:43He's like what you're putting out there to the, to the world of you.
01:46You know, I don't like to be part of this drama.
01:49I understand we're in the entertainment.
01:50That's not who you are off the court.
01:52So just be, be honest with people.
01:54Like you wanted me out of here.
01:55You got me out of here.
01:56The documentary is the PR team.
01:58That's what he's referencing.
02:00That he's trying to craft an image that is not right.
02:04That is not real in the eyes of Jalen Brown.
02:06So he's reacting to something that someone else shared about a moment that Jalen Brown in his professional life is
02:16his low point.
02:17That he was traded by, by a team that he carried to the playoffs, that he was an incredible superstar
02:23for last year, that he won a championship with.
02:26That the city that he is related to and done everything he could to enmesh himself into.
02:30He views, rightly or wrongly, that as his low point.
02:34And he sees a guy that he views at least somewhat culpable for it, not being honest about the end.
02:41So that's why he's reacting this way.
02:43If he doesn't post that video, none of this happens.
02:45No, I agree with that.
02:46I definitely agree with you on that.
02:48And I think he is definitely somebody and he's and he has told us this Jalen Brown from day one,
02:55like I've had to sacrifice.
02:57I've been the guy that they've always come to and say, you need to do this.
03:00You need to do that.
03:01And he's always kind of looked and they you've all you've always treated me like the redheaded stepchild of the
03:09family.
03:09When I've proven that I could be finals MVP, Eastern Conference MVP, I can carry a team by myself.
03:16Does he throw in there that he was the guy who oversaw the collapse of a 3-1 lead in
03:22round one?
03:22No, he doesn't.
03:23Round one of the playoffs last season.
03:24He doesn't bring that.
03:25No, he doesn't bring that up.
03:26He could have said it would have been nice to have Tatum in game seven.
03:28He never he never brings that one up.
03:30No, no.
03:30And I would have said that.
03:32And that's the and that's his you know, those are his stands that will always, you know, they'll they'll forget
03:37about that.
03:38But I'm just saying, I think and I get it why he feels that way, because I would feel a
03:42certain way if you treated me like a redheaded stepchild.
03:44All right.
03:45Well, we'll see what happens with the ongoing.
03:47I was about to say beef, but the ongoing lamb situation between between Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum back to
03:56where we were prior to the bill discussion.
04:00You think that maybe the the ongoing J beef.
04:06Ends depending on how who looks better when the two face each other in the regular season.
04:12If Jason looks far superior, I think it ends there.
04:16If Jalen looks amazing, this train keeps rolling.
04:22Now, this beef is going until the playoffs.
04:25No, I think the playoffs, Courtney, and whichever one.
04:28Because let's say Jason looks amazing or Jalen looks amazing when they play each other in November.
04:36Then once they get to the postseason, we're like, which guy is taking his team further?
04:41What happened?
04:42How they play in the postseason?
04:44I think fans will be like that.
04:45But I think the two of them will have a different reaction based on what we saw over this weekend.
04:53I think if Jason Tatum is the one who dominates in the game between the two of them, he won't
05:00say anything.
05:00Right.
05:01I think if Jalen Brown is the one who dominates, he won't be able to help himself.
05:05Exactly.
05:06Oh, Jalen is Jalen is not stopping.
05:08You heard him say he he's not stopping with the pettiness.
05:11If he doesn't have a great game and Jason Tatum says goes off for 40.
05:15Like, I do think that he will keep his mouth shut.
05:18No, he won't.
05:18He'll go.
05:19Has he started up his twitch yet?
05:21I don't know.
05:22Right.
05:23So he is not going to.
05:24He's been streaming down there.
05:25Okay.
05:25So, yeah.
05:26He's streaming down there.
05:27Yeah.
05:27Yeah.
05:27So that's what I mean.
05:29Jalen has he's like a woman scorned by the Celtics.
05:35Right.
05:36So he is not stopping.
05:38He is always going to be.
05:40Would any of us.
05:41I wouldn't.
05:42Yeah.
05:42So, like, I don't blame him negatively for it.
05:45I love it.
05:46I love that he's authentically him.
05:48He's bothered by it.
05:49And he's honest about how it made him feel.
05:51And I think Tatum is doing exactly what I would do if I were Tatum.
05:54I would sit back and say, I don't hate the man because I don't think in his heart Jason Tatum
05:59hates Jalen Brown.
06:00I think that Jason Tatum was tired of being in the room with a guy that thought he was the
06:05smartest person in it, was tired of what he was doing last year.
06:08It was the final straw that he's showing his stats against mine when I'm coming back as fast as I
06:13can, working my ass off to join you.
06:15Why are you making this about you versus me?
06:17That he was like, I'm done.
06:19So he won the war.
06:20It's his team.
06:21Even Joe Missoula quoted over the weekend said, Jason Tatum is our guy.
06:25Right.
06:26That's the PR team that Jalen Brown is referencing.
06:28He's always been there, guy.
06:30And he should be.
06:30He's more talented.
06:31Right.
06:32Yeah.
06:32I get it.
06:33He certainly is.
06:33And he certainly, we were talking about on Friday, at least in that game Friday night, he answered the call.
06:39I mean, he had an unbelievable game Friday night.
06:42So that second half was awesome.
06:44Well, they also, you know, it was, it was a lot, Jason Tatum, but they also played defense like that.
06:50We were talking about that Friday too.
06:52Like they, they played defense Friday night.
06:54Jordan Smith.
06:55What was the guy?
06:55Jordan.
06:56Jordan Walsh.
06:57Jordan Walsh.
06:57Awesome.
06:58What energy he brought getting the guys right before half court.
07:01That was phenomenal.
07:02Like that's what people were talking about when they were calling on Friday and putting it on Joe Missoula or,
07:09you know, Wiggy puts on the play.
07:10But like they played defense and Jason Tatum went off for 36.
07:15And so I, you know, that's all that matters.
07:18I hope that can, I think like, I do feel like once that, this new iteration of that team gels,
07:26I think, I think they're going to do really, really well this season.
07:29I really, they'll be fine during the like regular season.
07:31I don't, I like, they'll be worried about the playoffs.
07:34That's all that matters.
07:35I know.
07:36But what happened in the playoffs last year when you had Jalen Brown?
07:38And that's what I mean.
07:39We judged them off the playoffs.
07:41That's what I'm saying.
07:41So like last year you finished second in the Eastern Conference.
07:44Whoop-dee-doo.
07:45But we judged them on what they did in the postseason.
07:48So they'll be good in the regular season.
07:50They're not going to be like a playing team or they're going to, they'll be good.
07:54But we're going to judge Jason Tatum on what he does in the postseason.
08:00Can you take him further?
08:01And this is, this is Tatum can't be a victim about how we view them because if the Sixers go
08:06past the Celtics and Jalen Brown takes the Sixers further, Jason Tatum can't be like, why are they always comparing
08:12us?
08:12Because if Tatum wanted, they could have remained a duo and he would have never been compared to what he
08:17was doing elsewhere.
08:18Yeah, and it's going to come down to if they go further, you know, it's going to happen.
08:21It's going to be how did Jalen play?
08:23And then people are then going to go, well, look at Jalen has all that talent around them.
08:27And then people are going to say, well, Jason, you asked for this.
08:29Right.
08:30Right.
08:30And you asked for this, these players.
08:32And then, you know, then maybe he gets a little petty because people, and he says, hey, listen, I was
08:37all on board for them to bring Giannis here.
