Jaylen Brown doesn't need criticism

[10610786d]

These kind of fans who quickly label players so early in their careers (esp one as young as Brown) should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of supporting players through whatever they are going through, they destroy them and add to their burden

It is his job to basketball and play it well.   This is not biddy ball.

Pierce had his down moments early in his career, remember the bandages and everything? If you think that players stay the same, and during their down times you cannot support them, you do not deserve to share their glory when they get over it.

PP bounced back, and showed resiliency.

I think he needs to do better but I am not in the trade him now crowd.   His regression is disappointing.  But fans have a right, to be critical of him and it is part of free speech.   It he can't take that he does not belong in the NBA.   I just wish he would play to his strengths and use his abilities which is to go to the hole and slash.  Nothing is more frustrating when you see a guy not use his talents well.

Fans should be able to support their team through their struggles, not only there during glory. That is not fandom, that is bandwagon. Basketball players are people too, and like ordinary people, they mess up on their jobs as well. Only entitled persons think that basketball players should be perfect. Lebron, Durant, Curry- these players go through rough stretches and bad decisions as well, what more less talented and younger players like Brown?

PP bounced back and showed resiliency? That's the whole point! If you just stop to actually think, that is what I am driving at. People get down, but that doesnt mean that's where they will stay. Pierce is the perfect example. Just because you have your down moments doesnt mean it will define you forever!

I doesn't think JB is a bust, and generally I think I sit on the more optimistic side of things.

But I guess people can just support the team however they feel like - if they want to spread negativity they're free to do that.

I think you misunderstand something, this is Celticblog not Brownblog, of course we Celtic fans support our team through ups and downs, and we also criticize players who is hurting our team

I say JB bounces back in a big way by the playoffs! Sure, he has been struggling but how much of this is due to injuries and how much to a change in his role? Those issues hopefully are worked out by the playoffs. Jaylen is the same defensive stopper and outstanding athlete that he was last year it's just been harder to see this season.

So many time over the years I have folllowed players careers and they will hit slumps for long periods and then you find out sometimes months later that they are still nursing nagging injuries.

If he is injured all this time then what is his excuse of not resting? because it's plain stupid to risk further injury while also hurt your team big way

JB should keep focusing on making plays.  He has played harder on defense lately. That will energize his offense, especially by creating transition opportunities.

[timpiker]

I think if he's so [dang] smart, he should know how to make a layup.

Calling for JB's head ignoring that he is still under development he is 22yo he already showed he can be a reliable at least player for a contender is not critisism.

There's a mountain of evidence that suggests that professional athletes are human beings. Some come into their respective league as tough as nails; others don't. And... then there are those who grow stronger as they age.  Sorta like everyone else.   

I doubt Jaylen needs coddling, but it's not unreasonable to suggest that patience might help. I guarantee that Danny and Brad understand that different players need different types of support to maximize their output.  I think this was as true in Red's day as it is today.  I guarantee that Red rode guys who he knew needed to be ridden, and pushed others in different ways when needed.  I think that is what great leaders/coaches do.  Even as "my way" as it seems Belichick is, I'll bet he differentiates the way he approaches his players as he gets to know what motivates v. what mitigates their top performance.

Bottom line though is that talented NBA players need to show that they can respond to the coaching and motivational support they receive. Some need external motivators, some don't.  Hopefully, Brad can provide what Jaylen needs from him.
