Jackie MacMullan believes there’s ‘still time’ for Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum to learn to play together

The esteemed sports journalist has faith in the duo, but they don’t have the runway they once had to make it happen.

According to one renowned sportswriter, the whole league is talking about the Boston Celtics — but for all the wrong reasons. Legendary NBA journalist Jackie MacMullan made a recent appearance on NBC Sports Boston, and related that plenty of teams are talking about the Celtics — specifically their two young stars as they wonder if Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum can learn to play together.

“The NBA is one of the great gossip leagues of all time,” MacMullan related. “GMs, agents, writers, everybody, we all love to gossip. And that is what everybody is gossiping about right now: Can these two guys play together?”

After yet another season already marred by the same issues revolving around the two All-Star wings, it’s becoming a legitimate question.
