Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the defending champion Celtics' wild inconsistency.

The Boston Celtics are the defending NBA champions. That means that they have the biggest target on their back possible. Every single game they play, they are getting the other team's best shot. Boston is also not playing very well since the calendar flipped to 2025.

The drama surrounding the move has quieted down in recent months as the NBA season continued but resurfaced again on Monday. Cameras caught Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown appearing to give Kerr the cold shoulder after Boston’s blowout win over Golden State.

Kerr and Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum have a history, dating back to the 2024 Paris Olympics where Tatum logged multiple DNPs, due to Kerr's decision. This controversial coaching decision by Kerr sparked many conversations, most not happy about leaving the Celtics superstar out of the rotation.

“I wouldn’t worry about the Celtics if I were one of their fans,” Kerr said. “This is normal.” The Celtics built a first-half lead on the back of their defense Monday before running away from the Golden State Warriors for a 125-85 win. It was less than two hours before tipoff when Kerr provided his perspective on his opponent’s recent slippage.

Kerr's Warriors repeated as champions in 2017 and ’18, and no team has done it since. “I wouldn’t worry about the Celtics if I were one of their fans,” Kerr said.

The perceived drama between Steve Kerr and Jayson Tatum resurfaced after the Boston Celtics held the Warriors a 40-point loss Monday. Kerr and Tatum shared a brief awkward moment postgame where Kerr waited for Tatum as he spoke with Steph Curry and eventually walked away without Tatum's attention.

Jayson Tatum hasn’t forgotten about the Olympics. After the game, an intriguing postgame interaction added fuel to the fire. Tatum and Curry were seen deep in conversation, with Jaylen Brown standing nearby.

Because it has always been zero days since drama at NBA headquarters, a lot of people took notice of an awkward interaction—technically non-interaction—between Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Celtics star Jayson Tatum after the game.
