AI GeneratedJalen Brown faces the Celtics for the first time since his trade, adding tension to the game in Philadelphia. The matchup is highlighted by a public rift between Brown and Jason Tatum, fueled by conflicting claims regarding the trade's surprise and Brown's comments about his preference for the period when Tatum was absent.
There's no beef, but you know, it might be a little lamb chops.
Tonight in Philadelphia,
Jalen Brown will play the Celtics for the first time in a game that
counts. A game, of course,
made even spicier by the fact that he and Jason Tatum still haven't
talked since Brown was traded.
And this is all on the heels of what happened a few weeks ago when
Tatum was seen in a social post saying that he
was just as much caught off guard by the Brown trade
as the rest of the world.
And Brown basically called him a liar, leaving a cap emoji in the
in the comments and look,
I totally understand why Brown is angry.
I just think he's mad at the wrong guy.
For the whole time Tatum was out last year,
Jalen Brown, who had been playing spectacularly,
was given the spot of honor in pregame introductions,
you know, being announced last.
But then Tatum came back.
The Celtics got tossed from the playoffs.
Jalen said on Twitch that the season had
been his favorite of his entire career,
which de facto meant that he preferred
the first round exit season he played largely
without Tatum to the season when he and Tatum had won a championship.
