Jaylen Brown admits it’s been different sitting in 1Qs this year after being a tone setter in the past. “Joe wanted to switch it up. Whatever the team needs.”

Prior to tonight, Tatum had played the entire first quarter in every game except the third game of the year @ DET (Oct. 26). Other than those two games, the early Brown sub has been a #Celtics rotation staple this year, a change from the past.

This totally sounds like a Joe mind game with the jays to keep them on their toes for not get bored and preparing them for different situations

Been saying that him sitting in the 1st has affected his game. 1st quarters was when he got to shake loose without having to difer to tatum. Glad he actually talked about it.

I just fucking love Jaylen brown bro. What a professional. Dude just has it figured out.

Perfect answer. Team first.

When will the babying end

Ahhh yes finally something Felger and Mazz can turn into post apocalyptic level problems brewing with in. Mark my words, they will devote segments to the 2 following claims: 1. Joe is messing things up and is a bad coach as a result 2. Trouble between the Jays

I thot it was JBs hip?

Jaylen - patience Jayson - aggressiveness
