WATCH: With success finally coming, Boston’s Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum can’t hide behind youth anymore

Boston’s stars have hit the stage of their careers where accountability is key, according to Dan Shaugnessy.

The Boston Celtics have been on a roll as of late, winning seven of their last 10 games behind the sort of connected, engaged play fans have been hoping to see from this team for some time now.

That Jayson Tatum seems to have snapped his early-season snub certainly has helped boost the team’s fortunes, as has the play of veteran big man Al Horford and guards Marcus Smart and Dennis Schroder. With Robert Williams and Jaylen Brown soon to return from injury, expectations will be high, and this team won’t have youth to use as an excuse anymore if they stumble.

On the most recent episode of the CLNS Media podcast “Celtics Beat,” hosts Evan Valenti and Adam Kaufmann are joined by the Boston Globe’s Dan Shaugnessy to talk all things Celtics, particularly how the two Jays will shoulder the load of stardom moving forward.

Watch the video embedded above to hear their takes on the two All-Star wings, and what sort of expectations they should have in the near-term future.
