Jaylen Brown Should Call Tatum, Not the Press

Steve has advice on Celtic Chalk Talk and starts with the Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum feud. Brown is a Celtics legend with a Finals MVP and a community legacy to protect, so why air his frustrations publicly? Steve’s advice is simple: settle it privately before the two meet in Philadelphia.
Then it’s on to a split week for Boston. The Celtics blew a 22 point lead in Detroit as Javonte Green and Duncan Robinson got hot from deep, but Steve sees reasons for optimism. Against the Knicks, Tatum took over late, scoring seven points in the final minute on his way to 36, nine rebounds and seven assists. Jordan Walsh shut down Jalen Brunson, Paul George keeps proving he can still defend at 36, and Mitchell Robinson is starting to find his footing.
Plus, Steve asks whether Joe Mazzulla needs to find minutes for Hugo González and Baylor Scheierman, and how Payton Pritchard adjusts now that defenses are taking away his looks.
