Speaking on Sunday morning before Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla addressed the latest round of drama between his former star duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

In case you missed it: Tatum put out a sponsored podcast/interview in which he said he was blindsided by the trade of Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers this summer. Brown responded in the comment section, basically calling him a liar, and then Brown delivered some odd remarks on Saturday night about the whole situation, still speaking in vague terms.

On Sunday, Mazzulla said this, via Zack Cox of the Boston Herald:

“I didn’t see exactly happened, but those two guys, they were together for 10 years, and they had great, great moments together. And at the end of the day, nobody is perfect. We all can be better. We all did great things. We all did things that we want to be better at. “So I think it's more just focusing on the greatness that those two were able to achieve and the fact that they're both great people. They're different in how they play the game. They're different in how they handle things. They're just — they're different. It doesn't mean that it's good or bad. They're just different. So you focus on the high character.  

1) Tatum has been taking the high road when talking about Brown all offseason. He's spoken positively of their relationship and their accomplishments together, electing to focus on that instead of the breakup.

That said, this podcast/interview didn't need to be put out. It was sponsored by Dunkin' and self-promoted by Tatum It's one thing if you are asked about Brown in the confines of another interview, radio show or by a reporter, but why bring this up unnecessarily and on your own terms?

2) Brown is clearly bothered by that, but he's also clearly bothered by the narrative that Tatum is spinning. I think it's obvious that Brown is resentful of the Celtics and of Tatum, likely for how Tatum was propped up over the years.

The reason why Tatum doesn't have any beef with Brown? Likely, in part, because Tatum has been the chosen one forever. It's hard to be upset when you've been the guy that has consistently come out on top. Brown clearly feels disrespected and feels that should have been him, and he's resentful of being portrayed as the No. 2 guy, and then being shipped out of town.

1) The first regular season contest, and the first chance to see this drama play out on the court, will come on Nov. 10 in Philadelphia at 8:00 p.m. ET.

2) The next regular season game will wait until Jan. 21 at 7:30 p.m. ET in Boston. That will be Brown's first game back in the regular season since the trade. While I'm sure that Brown will get a rousing ovation overall, it will be interesting to see how many fans are turned off by this recent episode in the saga.

3) They'll meet again in Philadelphia on Feb. 7 at 7:00 p.m. ET.

4) They'll play in Boston again on March 7 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
