If you might be doubting your assessment because of bias, you shouldn’t — their eye-test excellence isn’t just a figment of your imagination, or the product of green-tinted lenses; the Celtics’ dynamic duo sit atop a number of NBA statistical leader boards at the start of this week.\nWATCH: Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum highlights vs. Pistons 1/3 https://t.co/3wKCnzUln7\n— The Celtics Wire (@TheCelticsWire) January 4, 2021\nFor total field goals, Brown leads the league with 79, and Tatum isn’t far behind in third with 66. For total field goal attempts, the Missouri native has the second-most with 146, and the Georgian tied for third with the Portland Trail Blazers’ CJ McCollum at 132.\nBrown and Tatum are second and third respectively for two-point field goals attempted with 92 and 91, with the former tied with the Washington Wizards’ Bradley Beal at No. 1 overall for 2-point field goals made (62).\nBrown is also second in the league for total steals (12), tied with teammate Jeff Teague and a number of other players early in the season.\nIn fact, the only place you might see as a potential negative is that both of the duo rank highly in total minutes played in the league with Tatum third (242 minutes) and Brown tied for fourth with the Phoenix Suns’ Mikal Bridges.\nWe say “potential” because a lot of these totals wouldn’t be likely without those heavy minutes, but it’s been something of a necessity for the pair to play so much for the Celtics to have a solid shot at winning against tougher opponents.\nAt least until teammate Kemba Walker returns.\nWATCH: Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum highlights vs. Pistons 1/3\nCeltics' Jayson Tatum posts signed Derrick Rose jersey pic to Snapchat\nCeltics-Pistons recap: Brown, Tatum drive Boston past Detroit 122-120\nCeltics Lab podcast 25: What to think of this roster six games in?\nOn this day: Celtics fire Tommy Heinsohn as coach, hire Tom Sanders\nFor the first time in recent memory, the Boston Celtics saw their bench outscore the starters 66 to 58 in Friday night's 124-97 shellacking of the Orlando Magic, a most promising development given the Celtics bench woes in 2019-20.\nForward Semi Ojeleye contributed 18 points and 6 rebounds on 6-of-10 shooting, including 3-of-6 from deep, and Payton Pritchard added 16 with 6-of-13 overall efficiency and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Add a 10-point, 4-of-6 from the floor outing from Javonte Green. The efforts are hints there may well be some scoring depth off Boston's bench at last.\nEven...\nPayton Pritchard Celtics stats snapshot: a career night vs Toronto\nBoston Celtics rookie point guard Payton Pritchard had himself a night against the Toronto Raptors, picking up the slack when several Celtics had to take the night off to nurse minor injuries.\nThe Oregon product produced a career-high 23 points and 8 assists in a career that's yet to hit a month in terms of age -- a surprisingly promising prospect if ever there was one for the Celtics in recent years. Even more noteworthy, Pritchard was exceptionally efficient, going 8-of-13 from the field overall, 2-of-4 from beyond the arc and a perfect 5-of-5 from the charity stripe...\nJayson Tatum Celtics stats snapshot: When in doubt, drive to the cup\nIn his three games of the still-young 2020-21 season, Boston Celtics All-NBA small forward Jayson Tatum has leaned on his 3-point shot more than he should have after a sizzling start beyond the arc in the team's opening night win over the Milwaukee Bucks.\nTatum hit 6 of his 13 attempts from deep in that contest, but he trailed off to just 33.3% from 3 against the Brooklyn Nets and in Boston's 108-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Infamously whiffing on a potential game-winning trey in place of a drive that would have tied it..."
