Tatum on catching Timelord in the head with a fastball: “I didn’t even laugh when it happened. Like I genuinely felt bad. I mean, it had some heat on it. I apologized like twice because, he knew I didn’t do it on purpose but, if somebody hit me in the head with a ball, I’d be mad – 12:03 AM

There was smoke on the Tatum pass that hit Rob Williams off the side of his face in the 2nd. But all’s good. Timelord: ““I was really trying to find the ball once it hit me in the head. JT apologized twice, so I’m good. He felt sorry. He apologized twice, so I’m good.” – 11:55 PM

Jayson Tatum just threw a four-seam fastball off Rob Williams’ head. That’s normally not what you’re looking for in a PnR. – 7:45 PM

More on this storyline
The 19-21 Celtics have indicated to rival teams that they want to build around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown — and have no interest to split up the two All-Star forwards right now, sources said. The 18-21 Celtics appear open for business around other players on the roster. Boston engaged with the 76ers before the season about a potential Simmons deal, but showed no inclination to move Brown. -via The Athletic / January 10, 2022
After Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown produced the first triple-double of his career in Boston’s 99-75 victory over the New York Knicks here at TD Garden on Saturday night, he shot down the idea that he and Jayson Tatum can’t have an effective long-term partnership. “I think we can play together,” Brown said after finishing with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists against the Knicks, who had stunned the Celtics two days earlier at Madison Square Garden thanks to an RJ Barrett banked-in, buzzer-beating 3-pointer. “We have played together well for the majority of our career and things like that. The last year or so hasn’t gone as expected, but I think a lot of the adversity that we’re kind of going through now is going to help us grow and get better in the future. -via ESPN / January 9, 2022
“If we get over this slump and continue to learn, I think there’s a lot of good basketball on the other side of this. I only can control what I can control. I understand everybody has to do their jobs, but me and JT talk. We talked after the game, communicated with each other and things like that. So we’re on the same page. I get where all the other frustration comes from, but as long as I’m on the same page with him and he’s on the same page with me, that’s where we’re most focused on. So tonight we wanted to come out and get a win and we did it.” -via ESPN / January 9, 2022
