I wouldn't rely on Brown to back up his words after game 7 last playoffs. It's going to be on others to get the job done
I forgot that 1 game defined a player.
JB dropped 27 in game 6 of that series, which was an elimination game too.
Yeah, Rozier and Brown were the only two players that showed up in that game 6. If just one other guy showed up it would have been Celtics in 6.
Really one game? Let's not forget a few games he did not perform. And game 7 is a lot bigger than game 6
he averaged 19.7 ppg in the eastern conf. finals which lead the team. he played great def during the whole playoffs. How is that not performing? what do you really expect from him?
How about pass the ball to Tatum in game 7
so at first you said he was a no show and wasn't clutch, now you say he is a ball hog and didn't pass the ball to tatum? So all I get at this point is you don't really like our leading scorer from the ECF from last year.
look Brown played better in last years playoffs than anyone had a right to expect. his ceiling might even be higher than Tatum's as a two way player. He isn't a selfish player. All of this is just non-sense. Why don't you just sit back and enjoy our two rising stars. I know I will.
When did I say that?
I like Brown what I am saying is he isn't the guy to back up a guarantee. He talked last year a few times before games in which he didn't play well in. In game 7 he dropped the ball on both sides of the court. I could careless about just scoring. It's talking when you aren't known for backing things up. I don't like it.
So, Brown is what he is, and will never improve? Didn't he take a leap from rookie to soph season? I think it probable that Jaylen is thinking very hard about his mistakes in the ECF and is dedicated to being better. His proclamation about the Finals is perfectly fine in a league built on confidence. This could be his way to put pressure on himself to improve. If there's anything I've learned about Brown is that he wants to be better, he knows he has the talent, and will put in the work required.
Again... Brown talked last year and things didn't go too well.
In what world is playing 7 games in the ECF without Kyrie and Hayward "things didn't go well"?
Based on his words no they didn't
what words are you talking about? can you give us a quote, a link or something supporting your view that Brown promised more than he delivered? Seriously, because I don't remember a 'we are going to the finals' or 'we are taking down the warriors' comments from Jaylen last year.
Don't you watch post game interviews? That's what I am talking about where he talked about handling business and playing better and sucking the very next game.
I'm not making stuff up or hating on Brown. Just point out last year he talked and didn't back it up. If the whole forum wants to get upset about that don't blame me blame Brown not coming through because I'm calling him out on talk. Talk means nothing just ask Embid right..
Look if you don't have something concrete you can point to about this it isn't my fault. I am not the one making the claims that Jaylen was talking and not backing it up.
When you don't at least have a quote or something then this whole thing just seems like subjective opinion. I have posted a ton of stats explaining that Jaylen was excellent in the playoffs. He played great, it is a fact.
I personally don't watch every post game interview because I can't. So if he said something really cocky that he didn't back up with his play then you should let us all know.
But if you want to want to hang all this on a super generic 'we have to handle our business better' comment that literally EVERY guy on the team would make, that is really weak.
