21 points in the 1st quarter for Jaylen

I like the progression of Jaylen's offensive game. He's doing a better job of using his body to create space instead of just trying to blow by every defender. Last year he would try to blow by little guys, now he's putting them on his hip and backing them down. Some fans are eager to trade our young guys to get an established all-star, but I think Tatum has a chance to be an all-star, and Jaylen is a borderline all-star. Both those guys need to work on their pick-n-roll offense in the offseason though.

Baynes channeling his inner Kevin McHale 
“His [Jayson Tatum's]game is really well flushed out,” Bryant said. “Great midrange game. He can post up. He can finish at the rim. He handles the ball very well. He can shoot the long ball. I think there’s still little itty-bitty things that he’ll need to develop as his game progresses. Defenses tend to double him more to catch up to him.
“By and large, I love what I’m seeing from him, especially on the defensive end. Most young players coming nowadays just want to do the cute stuff. He seems to be the kind of player that doesn’t mind getting dirty and being physical and playing hard at both ends of the floor.
“Jaylen Brown is like that, too,” Bryant added. “I think very highly of Jaylen Brown, too.”

About a month ago Jalen Rose was talking about how we need to trade a few young guys for an established all star. 
We haven't seen all our guys play healthy together for an extended time. Our young guys keep improving and getting experience, they are signed to rookie deals, and they still haven't matured strength wise yet. Danny better not trade the youngsters.

Any reason why Jabari Bird and Kadeem Allen aren't on the playoff roster?

This is exactly what I don't get. 2 promising young players who have definite all star talent, and people are thinking of trading them?
Tatum, Brown, and Rozier look like a young nice core. What the Celtics need badly is a Center, and they can contend for championships. Media too caught up in that "win now" garbage. The Celtics Big 3 with Paul, Ray, and KG was a unique situation, every team shouldn't have to go for that

It's cuz they are both signed to two way contracts. If we were to sign let's say Jabari for a fully guaranteed deal, we would have to release one of our guys and we'd be in the luxury tax for this year.
