I like Wildes's point about Jaylen always taking the blame. I think Mazzula also gets his fair share of blame as well and I do think Tatum is awesome but it's odd how he always seems to sidestep the blame. Last year I thought Brown was clearly better in the finals and Tatum was the biggest reason they lost but like Wildes says, it always feels like the day after the story is why didn't Jaylen play better.

[@TheRulersBack18]

WILDES WAS SPITTIN

[@franjes9999]

The story in the finals was absolutely Tatum he got the most blame for sure

[@ramonnewell9312]

You’re right and it’s ridiculous.. Jaylen is considered by media and by fans to be the 2nd best player, but receives more criticism than Tatum. Tatum is great, but if you are the leader and best player you should take the most blame every time your team loses.

[@eat_a_dick7219]

Tatum got all the blame last year especially over his turnovers and hes gettin plenty of the blame this year, so what are you talking about

[@StuTheDon17]

What? When you have more turnovers than the rest of your team combined, how can the blame be pointed at anyone else?

[@georgeparker8198]

I agree with Wildes that Brown has become the Westbrook to Tatums Durant, he tends to shoulder most of the blame. I keep hearing about Browns bad handle and yet Tatum had more turnovers in the series than Brown. I would want to leave if i was Brown too. If I'm going to get blamed like I'm the number 1 guy then I want to go to a team where i'm the number one guy. I really like the KAT Jaylen trade, I think that would benefit both teams in theory. A Dame and Jaylen trade would also be really good. Im intrigued by Jaylen and Ja but I dont think Memphis gets better from that trade. Ja still hasn't reached his ceiling but Jaylen is close to his.

[@SamUHells]

Tatum got all the blame this whole series and last series. It was just in this game 7, brown was absolutely garbage. Cannot deny that.

[@moyjoker]

KAT is not a good fit for the C's injury prone, no defense, cant even rebound like a real big. Now i do think that Tatum gets a pass bc even if he is not making shots, he can defend at a higher level, with JB, you dont know what you're gonna get, might have a 1st qt with 15 pts and then just score 6 more points or he may defend great during first half and then the next one, Duncan Robison will look like Steph Curry. I love JB but needs more consistency

[@newrecruit100]

A very different dynamic to Russ and KD. Brown and Tatum don’t get in each other’s way, and Tatum dominates the ball more. Russ had a far superior and efficient player beside him and thought he was as good as him.

[@oneyedthing]

The media is making two consecutive trips to the ECF a bad thing. They could have won the Finals last year. They are that talented. It's just that they need a veteran to guide and push their buttons at the right time. Any major changes at this point might make them worse.

Tatum and Brown should work on their off ball movement and not on dribbling. Dribbling is fine when you are against a big guy who can't guard you, but against guys who have long reach and are smaller, they poke at that. If they played PG most of their career, it is a must to have handles. Look at pritchard or other PGs. Their biggest error was trading Rozier. He was a PG. They got nothing out ofKyre.

[@swup9851]

Just say you know nothing about basketball, Jesus Christ. A 2 time first team all nba player as well as 4th on the MVP ballot is by no means a second option, ever. You're absolutely delusional to think so. What Tatum needs is a ball handler, someone who sets plays, and moves the ball around. A bonafide playmaking star as his second option. He's much better when the offense is being initiated and he's off ball rather than him initiating the offense when bringing the ball up the court. I thought this was obvious. I guess only some people in the comments got a brain on them. Also Tatum for Dame? You're a 🤡.

Dudes not the answer for Boston, trade him where he can be the main guy like her wants but doesn’t deserve and get a guy like dame or get a couple players at like tyrese maxeys level or so, maybe even go trade him for Mikal bridges and spencer dinwidie and nets can throw in claxton or cam Thomas and a pick.

I don't think Minnesota would want Jaylen.

[@silenciothequiet3471]

Not a Celtics fan but everybody seems to forget all the coaching shitstorm they had to deal with before even starting the regular season and to have the substitute coach,with 0 NBA coaching, taking this team to the conference finals against one of the finest playoffs coach is an overachievement in my book.. The Celtics need to improve their adjustments skills, that's the coach job, especially with such a young team.

[@peterjohnson7662]

It was worth a try

[@rorichards9082]

Wildes is right. Jalen as your 2nd option gets all the blame while Tatum skates by.

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

J.Brown has only 1 more year left on his contract, he doesn't have as much trade value as these people think.

[@davidanoka-ayembe4258]

You know who would be good for the Celtics?? Kyrie Irving. A shame he burned that bridge

[@johnw2441]

Microwave society trade an all NBA player? SMH. The disrespect

[@burrybondz225]

Thank you mazulla for not playing rob williams.

[@brandonsaunders5892]

That Karl Anthony Towns trade for Jaylen Brown makes sense

[@wayno115]

Nahh I disagree Towns is soft af and has no heart. If the Celtics ever trade JB for him they’re never winning a championship

[@zj4008]

That’s not what they need at all

[@OffTopicKamah]

What about Jordan poole and Andrew Wiggins for Jalen brown

[@poppa956]

So F the fact that they came back from down 0-3 smh these show don’t do nothing but tear down these players & im no where near a Boston fan 😒
