DHL Dan CCCX - Grudge Match

This seems like a column theme right up Shank's alley:

Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown is the latest in a long line of Boston sports grudge matches, and other thoughts

Picked-up pieces while wishing Tom Brady a sincere welcome home Sunday at Gillette . . .

⋅ The Celtics are in Philadelphia Tuesday, which means we finally get to see Jayson Tatum playing basketball against Jaylen Brown in a regular-season NBA game.

I haven’t been this fired up for an old-fashioned Boston sports grudge match since Roger Clemens came to Fenway in a Blue Jays uniform for the first time in 1997 and glared in the direction of Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette while coming off the mound after striking out 16 batters in a 3-1 victory.

Memo to coaches Joe Mazzulla and Nick Nurse: Let there be no load management for this one. NBA America needs to see Tatum and Brown in each other’s faces for the full four quarters.
