Why Jayson Tatum ‘celebrated’ Derrick White’s technical foul during Celtics loss vs Pistons

Jayson Tatum said Derrick White had to get a technical foul to get his ‘street cred up’

In the Celtics loss to the Pistons, Derrick White had 15 points on 6-for-18 shooting from the field.

During the game, White got his first career technical foul and Tatum was seen celebrating it.

This all stems from what Tatum said back in April. He stated that he wanted to see White get a technical foul to get his street cred up.

“I told D-White you gotta get like one tech, gotta get your street cred up”

Jaylen Brown was a one-man show in Boston Celtics’ loss to Detroit Pistons

Jaylen Brown had a huge game of 41 points, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Pistons as the Celtics remain winless on the season.

Brown didn’t have enough help from his supporting cast. White struggled from the field and Payton Pritchard was the only other player who stepped up as he scored 21 points.

However, the Celtics frontcourt continues to be a big issue for them. Neemias Queta only scored 4 points and Hugo Gonzalez who got his first career start didn’t score a point in 18 minutes of action.

It looks like it’s going to be a down year for the Celtics as they could be already looking ahead to next season.
