Are the Celtics Tatum and Brown the Best Tandem in the League?
In a recent episode of the Bleav in Celtics podcast, hosts Warren Shaw and Gary Washburn engaged in a lively discussion about the synergy and performance of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, two of the Boston Celtics' brightest stars. The conversation delved into whether this dynamic duo currently holds the title of the best tandem in the NBA.
Warren Shaw kicked off the conversation by posing an interesting question to his co-host, Gary Washburn: "Does this give you the confidence to call them the best tandem duo in the league, or are there others out there?" Washburn acknowledged that this year, Tatum and Brown have certainly made a compelling case for being the best tandem duo. The cohesiveness and impact they've had on the Celtics' success have been undeniable.
For instance, LeBron and AD's Los Angeles Lakers have faced struggles and injuries, impacting their winning record. Lillard and Giannis have had ups and downs, often relying heavily on Lillard's scoring. Meanwhile, George and Leonard's Los Angeles Clippers have faced their own set of obstacles.
Washburn concluded that, as of the current season, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown deserve recognition as the league's best duo. Their consistent performances and contributions to the Celtics' success have been outstanding.
