We all expect the Celtics to win tonight. If they don't, it will be a stunning loss. If we don't win this series against the Heat, it will be on Tatum and Brown's wildly inconsistent play.
Except that during these playoffs Jaylen Brown has been wildly consistent. He has had some bad quarters, but at the end of the night, his numbers have been remarkably consistent.
Brown's point totals for each playoff game:
23, 22, 23, 22, 12, 30, 27, 18, 26, 22, 19, 24, 24, 40, 12. Average 22.9.
A couple of 12-pointers and a couple of big ones but otherwise he's been a 22-23 point rock.
