Another millionaire telling us how bad we have it who has everything
Brown is a really good guy deep down. But once he aligned himself with Kanye and Kyrie, it made me think differently about him. He never really denounced Kyrie, only put a statement out that was shitty after people called him out. He strikes me as a guy who thinks he's smarter than everyone else. Just like Kanye.
I don't doubt he gets shit on twitter by cesspool losers. But I don't understand why he's saying something right now? I guess maybe when they were losing or looking like shit people were saying stuff? Idk. But I know fans were very vocal on there wanting not to trade him. He likes posts about not being appreciated a lot. Idk.

Yawn with this S*** blah blah blah heard it all before. Go play somewhere else dude
I didn't think Brown said anything bad. Would be interesting to hear what adversity he feels he has faced with starting his business or buying a house as that's the worst thing in there even if the twitter ran with other quotes. Boston does have a toxic fanbase in all sports, just need to see the reaction after any bad loss. A Philly fan was telling Brown he hopes he tears his acl. It's not exclusive to the three cities but Boston, Philly and New York feel like they pride themselves on being toxic.
I'd like to know the context of what this quote was from. What question was being asked. Or did he just randomly say this? I don't doubt that he sees and hears things.
Are you talking about the Philly fan wanting him to tear his acl or the business home quote? The Philly fan was after Abby Chin asked him if he enjoyed playing in crowds like Philly that night
What has your experience been like as a Black professional athlete in Boston?
There’s multiple experiences: as an athlete, as a basketball player, as a regular civilian, as somebody who’s trying to start a business, as someone who’s trying to do things in the community.
There’s not a lot of room for people of color, Black entrepreneurs, to come in and start a business.
I think that my experience there has been not as fluid as I thought it would be.
What do you mean by that?
Even being an athlete, you would think that you’ve got a certain amount of influence to be able to have experiences, to be able to have some things that doors open a little bit easier. But even with me being who I am, trying to start a business, trying to buy a house, trying to do certain things, you run into some adversity.

Defense Wins Chanpionships
Another game they lost, IMO, because the starting five were lazy—Overconfident as a starting five and as individuals. Stop being sloppy, give 100%, and play defense.
This is now a 3rd place team in the East. Philly won again. This is not a Championship Team Contender. They were in the first half but other team's got better and the Celtics let the press go to their heads especially Tatum who is not a MVP contender IMO.
Another pathetic game by the Celtics. Joe it is the final score that matters not they did great in a quarter.
On to the next question mark.

Fair enough, but this guy is the middle of altercations, altercations with his teammates, withe fans and generally anyone who does not hold to pc beliefs. He goes looking for trouble even when there isn't any, or, at least at the worst time. It's also all for his ego and his aims once you strip it down.
As I said, I will miss the All-star talent but not the attitude.
Another bad loss. Playing like a 5th or 6th seed with your best player being a inefficient chucker since January. Stevens has made great moves since he became gm but feels like he got it wrong at the deadline. Needed a wing and rim protector as insurance for Rob Williams and got a traffic cone who can shoot 3s
Grant calling an audible for himself on the final possession to challenge a 7 foot defensive specialist at the rim is Peak Grant

To be fair, I am certain Tatum is struggling with his left arm injury and probably other injuries as well. However, I agree with your assessments 1000 percent. The team is not a contender and Joe is not much of a coach.

To be fair I think Tatum is soft and not a leader to rally behind for a championship. They should trade him now while he has top notch value. Jaylon Brown is the true leader of this team. If I were GM I’d first look to ship out the toxic Marcus Smart,,; then move Tatum if he doesn’t grasp the leadership role. He’s more concerned with having dinner with opposing players after the game than he is beating them on the court
Whatever you get in return for Brown and Tatum won't be worth it. They're still young in terms of championship window. Sometimes you gotta just ride it out and keep taking cracks at the supporting cast.

Brown will leave after next year anyway. As someone else around here likes to say, you can "book it."

This team has early exit written all over them.
Losing games to the Jazz and the f***ing Rockets is pretty inexcusable.

I think a lot of what you say is true about Tatum. He is a kid on a glory run that maybe narcissistic. He is big regarding relationships with stars on other teams. I am not convinced that Brown is a leader of basketball, I do think he is into causes, black causes and why wouldn't he but getting his priorities straight might be a problem, basketball is #1 or should be. I think Marcus Smart is all about basketball and he gets frustrated with Brown & Tatum with their effort, sloppy ball handling at the wrong time, sloppy passing at the wrong time and leadership.
Could you help me understand what this means? I get lots of laughs. " you don't miss?" thanks
Wait a second did White not play a single minute in the 4th?
???????????
If there is no injury there then Mazzulla needs to explain that idiocy
He at worst their 4th best player when the teams at full capacity. When we’re missing multiple starters like tonight it’s disgusting that he wasn’t played late

I said before, bring back Interim Joe Mazzulla. What was the point of making him permanent coach when you didn't even get the chance to evaluate him down the stretch/in the playoffs?

I would hope Tatum grows up soon and can get serious about basketball. Early in his career Tatum had Kobe in his ear giving him tips.. he needs more of that killer instinct/ dedication Kobe had. Tatum oozes talent, kid just has game. But it doesn’t seem winning a championship is his top priority.
Smart works hard & is great defensively. I just suspect his ego is too large for this team and he takes stupid shots at the most in opportune moments. Late shot needed needs to go to a true shooter (not Smart).

Grant going into business for himself on the last shot is insane. Mazzulla has no idea how to adjust and end games.
AGAIN, some are overreacting to the organization..... this is not a 5 or 6 seed...... how many Eastern teams have clinched..... 2...... not one of them is Doc and the Sixers..... some of you keep forgetting which NBA Team cannot beat the C's without whining to the media...... Joel Embiid is not, repeat not, an NBA Leader, nevermind an MVP Candidate.
on to Sacramento to shut the Beam (Kings marketing slogan) off Thanks to Miami they clinched at least a top 3 seed, be glad you're not GS..... WHO IS 7-29 on the road and is the 1st defending champion to lose 11 straight and are failing to be a playin team.... meanwhile here are your defending Eastern Champion at the top of the conference and will likely escape the play in.

Hey Guys,
Love this team just like many of you here. I am not a resident of Boston so please bare with me. Jaylen Brown appears to me to a very intelligent person. His comments & statements in my opinion should be welcomed & listened to. For those fans he is referring to and people in general. They are ignorant trash, we as fans & decent folks need to make a difference wherever and whenever we can.
On another note, Brown said he would be better this year on the floor & he has delivered on that promise.
