The Celtics had their fun: After Jayson Tatum and the Celtics overwhelmed Jaylen Brown and the 76ers 123-101 on Tuesday night, the team’s social media account posted its regular scorecard with the caption, “Threw the ball up.”
It was a not-so-subtle reference to Brown, who used the hashtag “#throwtheballup” in his statement following the high-profile trade that the Celtics and 76ers made in the offseason. The 76ers have subsequently adopted the message as well, citing it in a description of an opening night t-shirt giveaway as “a phrase coined by Jaylen Brown.”
