Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown of
the Boston Celtics are one of the most
impressive duos in the entire NBA.
But they have yet to win a championship.
Will it ever happen for this powerful
partnership?
The Morris brothers were asked about this on the “All The Smoke” show and Marcus Morris said he thinks they are a “couple more pieces” away from winning a title but thinks it could happen.
Morris, and everyone else in the league, have every reason to be impressed by Tatum and Brown.
Last season, Tatum averaged 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists.
Meanwhile, Brown produced 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.
It was once again a banner year for these two, as the Celtics rose toward the top of the Eastern Conference standings and made a strong run in the playoffs.
However, they ultimately fell to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals despite nearly coming back from a massive deficit.
Weeks later, the Celtics gave Brown a monster contract extension, the biggest in league history.
Another enormous deal for Tatum will surely be in the works too.
That’s because the Celtics really believe that these two are the future of the franchise.
However, as much as fans love the pairing of Tatum and Brown they also want to see them produce a Finals victory soon.
They have been to the championship once but didn’t have enough to overtake the Golden State Warriors.
Fans don’t want this duo to be one that continually comes close but not close enough.
Once again, the Celtics are favored to go far in the East again next season.
Will Tatum and Brown lead their team to a championship this year?

Despite not being in Boston for long, Muscala spoke very fondly of his time with the Celtics, singling out the fans and playing at the Garden.
“I had a great time,” Muscala told CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning in a September 14 interview.
“It was one of my favorite experiences playing basketball. It was a great city, I speak so highly of the city and of the team when people ask what it was like.
The fans were amazing. They love their basketball, and they were very supportive.
I just really enjoyed getting to know the city, getting to learn about the history of the area, having some friends and family come out and visit, and playing at the Garden, man, it was awesome. A lot of really fun memories.”
Muscala played 20 games in total for the Celtics, averaging 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds a game while shooting 47.2% from the field and 38.5% from three.
Muscala also started four games for the Celtics in that span, which included a game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Muscala may not have had the biggest role with the Celtics, but he was another stretch-big in a long line of stretch-bigs the Celtics have had in the past decade.

Blake Griffin Reunion With Celtics Not Likely: Report
Despite Griffin leaving an impression on the Celtics, and vice versa, The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach reported that Boston would like a reunion, but Griffin does not share the same sentiment.
“The Celtics would likely welcome a return by veteran big man Blake Griffin, who played well last year and was a strong locker room presence, but for now, that appears unlikely as Griffin considers his future,” Himmelsbach wrote in a September 5 story.
After losing Muscala, Grant Williams, and Danilo Gallinari, the Celtics are a little short on big man depth outside of Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Robert Williams III. With Griffin not returning to the team for the time being, the only other frontcourt piece they have is Luke Kornet.
The Celtics have one roster spot left, which they could use to add another big. Also, Kornet, Dalano Banton, and Svi Mikahiliuk are all on either partially or nonguaranteed contracts, which, if they are waived, would lead to more roster spots to potentially be used on other bigs.
