For some Boston Celtics fans, watching Jayson Tatum face off against Jaylen Brown has been years in the making. Yet, for others, it's the worst possible outcome of the new CBA and the restrictions the second luxury tax apron can impose on a franchise. Whatever camp you sit in, the fact remains the same: Brown is a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, and on Tuesday, November 10, he will face off against his former teammates for the first time.
A lot has been said regarding how Brown's trade away from Boston went down. There has also been plenty of rhetoric regarding Brown's relationship with Jayson Tatum, both before the trade and in the months that have followed. The truth is, it all makes for great television, and when the Celtics and Sixers tip
off on Tuesday, millions will be glued to their television.
However, Celtics fans will need to embrace the fact that Tuesday will be the first of many times Brown faces his former team. In fact, he'll see Boston three more times this season alone, and that's before we count a potential postseason series. Nevertheless, the first game between Tatum and Brown could be a memorable one, as both will come into the matchup with a point to prove.
In a recent YouTube video from "98.5 The Sports Hub", Scott Zolak and Marc Bertrand discussed the impending matchup between Tatum and Brown and what it means for both the fanbase and the players themselves. They discussed the potential matchup, what they're hoping to see, and, of course, their expectations for how things play out.
