For fans still irate that the Celtics not only traded Jaylen Brown, but dealt him to the Atlantic Division-rival 76ers, consider what 36-year-old Paul George did in that series when matched up against the former Celtics guard.

George, who will don No. 13 now for the Celtics following the offseason blockbuster trade, averaged 17.4 points per game over the final three games of the series -- all 76ers wins as they rallied past No. 2 Boston for the first-round victory. Not only that, but George shot 47.5 percent from the floor (19 of 40) and 52.1 percent from 3-point range (12 of 23) over the final three games of the series.

Here's an update to our story of earlier today about the injury status of Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, who reported he felt left knee stiffness.

He has been ruled out of the decisive Game 7 of the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night, as reported by ESPN's Shams Charania.

Boston got their big man at the trade deadline, a move that I really like. How do you think he'll fit with the team?
