On Monday’s edition of Zolak & Bertrand, Beetle made it clear that Jaylen Brown took a shot at Jayson Tatum last night.

• Jaylen Brown planted this seed...

  Marc Bertrand: I couldn’t help but think that this was somehow a shot at Jayson Tatum, as I heard it.

  Scott Zolak: I thought the same exact thing.

  Marc Bertrand: You know why? Because he won’t say that he has a good relationship with Jayson Tatum.

  Scott Zolak: Thank you.

  Marc Bertrand: Twice last week, he took a pass on that question.

  Scott Zolak: He’s done two interviews already with other outlets outside the city. And here he is after he scores more than 40. Talking about yeah, I don’t take these moments for granted because I don’t get them that much.

  Marc Bertrand: Now is that very cynical and negative? Yes, it is. It’s a very cynical negative take. But you know who planted the seed? He did. Last week when he wouldn’t say he had a good relationship with Jayson Tatum.
