Finishing up the Takeaways for @celticsblog after a second watch of Boston-New York.
The criticism of Tatum’s play last night is WAY off. He initiated a lot of stuff, played within himself and let Brown do his thing since he had it going. I really don’t get it from last night. – 10:19 AM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko
Jaylen Brown last night:
22 PTS
11 REB
11 AST
It’s the first time Brown has recorded a triple-double in his NBA career.
He’s the first @Boston Celtics player to record a 50-point game and a triple-double in a four-game span since Larry Bird in November 1989. pic.twitter.com/9rVjOeMxDz – 10:11 AM Emiliano Carchia @Sportando

This Celtics season is like a bad camping trip where it’s nothing but rain, people are crabby, & there’s chance someone is about to say something they can’t take back. Jaylen Brown’s night vs. the Knicks is like a ray of sun breaking through the clouds

Marcus Smart passed Avery Bradley on the TD Garden all-time scoring list Saturday night.
Jayson Tatum will likely move into the top 4 on Monday.
Brown and Tatum should both be top 5 by season’s end. pic.twitter.com/RjW90fZAoS – 11:41 PM Brian Robb @BrianTRobb

Jaylen Brown on the talk that he and Jayson Tatum should be split up: “I disagree. I think we can play together. We have played together well for the majority of our careers. The last year or so hasn’t gone as expected, but the adversity will help us grow and get better.” – 10:03 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Jaylen Brown said he and Jayson Tatum have been talking after games and they are on the same page: “I know there are a lot of frustrations, but as long as I’m on the same page with him, and he’s on the same with me, we’re all good.” – 10:02 PM Brian Robb @BrianTRobb

Jaylen Brown up to nine assists, one shy of his career high. Also has 13 points and seven rebounds so he’s on triple-double watch. – 8:59 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Tatum made a great skip pass from the post to Brown, who swung it to Smart for an open three.
But Sam Mitchell will say Tatum is selfish because he didn’t get the assist. – 8:56 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Brown has 7 assists. Rather than focus on that being good, Sam Mitchell calls Tatum out for “not giving himself up for the team”.
I don’t even get it. – 8:51 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

Whoa… Jaylen Brown actually cut and then an interior pass for the dunk? I might be having a fever dream – 8:33 PM John Karalis @John_Karalis
Here’s an example. Tatum has Barrett but then he gets focused on Randle and gets caught trying to anticipate the pass. Meanwhile, he completely loses Barrett who gets the wide open 3 pic.twitter.com/7YEu0eKMal – 8:10 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

Ime Udoka said that Celtics closing lineups have tradeoffs because some players are offense-first, while others are defense-first. He did mention that shooting around Tatum and Brown is a factor, but it’s a balance of career-long track records against what’s happening this year. – 5:58 PM Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo
