Before anything happens, I want to make something clear: I will be very, very upset if the Celtics trade Jaylen Brown. This is a player I’ve been rooting for and defending for the last 10 years, and potentially seeing him go hurts.
It’s a business, and you have to put the team first, but JB was a guy I wished retired in Boston alongside Jayson Tatum. I trust Brad Stevens with whatever he does, but losing someone as great as Brown hurts, regardless of who you get in return. He’ll always be a Boston Celtic.

The winningest program in NCAA Division II baseball history just made more history.

NEW STORY: In August, Payton Pritchard almost single-handedly convinced me the Celtics would be good this season.
We revisited that conversation as they closed in on 56 wins:
“The people that were returning,” Pritchard said, “had something to prove.”

It was four years ago that Jaylen Brown told the world the "energy is about to shift".
Since that tweet, the Celtics have the NBA's best record...
...by 25½ games.
Derrick White said Joe Mazzulla called him on his birthday with a message 😭
"He's like, 'Happy birthday man. Everybody thinks we're going to suck, I love it,' and then hangs up."
"And this is in July."
Reminder there are real life people who believe not only that Joe Mazzulla isn’t a good coach but that his offensive approach and system is bad, stupid and wrong
They say these things…and mean it 😭
