The First Interaction Between Jayson Tatum And Jaylen Brown Was As Cold As Ice

Today was one of those days where you spend hours upon hours doing nothing but staring at the clock, waiting for 8pm EST. At least that's how my Tuesday went. My entire day/life fully consumed by the Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown matchup. My own personal hell playing out in real life. All the media bullshit leading into the game, it was exhausting. 

It goes without saying all eyes were on the opening interaction. At this time of an NBA game, players are usually pretty friendly. It is November after all. A quick dap or hug and smiles and off you go. Obviously, that was not going to be the case with Tatum/Brown, but after all the drama how would it actually look?

So fucking weird. I don't know how else to say it. It breaks my heart to see that shit. I know a lot of people are enjoying the whole war and all that, and that's fine for them. For me? I hate it. The whole thing makes me sad. I can't exactly say I expected anything different from what we got, and it's clear Jaylen still holds the grudge. Really does make it feel like a one sided beef, but we knew that already.

In terms of the game, my heart has been beating out of my chest the entire time. Feels like a playoff game in November and I hate everything about it.
