Jaylen Brown: Last Year Was Fault of Coaches and Front Office, Not Kyrie

[footey]

Just read this. I'm a little puzzled by this. Not sure if he's just trying to squash perceived beef with Kyrie by throwing Brad and Danny under the bus, but that is what it sounds like...

Class move by Jaylen Brown.

I will forever miss the good times with Kyrie.

He IS in a better place. There is no place like home.

Additionally - Coach Stevens has ALREADY mentioned fault along these lines as well as Danny.

The unfortunate narrative is that Kyrie takes sole blame and that is not right.

Sure, Brad and Danny fell on their swords.  That's different than Jaylen, who is pointing at them.  Maybe he should also be pointing at himself as well.

In any event, I'm of the Mike Gorman school:  85% on Kyrie.

Would rather he didn’t say anything about this

[RPGenerate]

Maybe he should be looking at himself for how terrible he was to start the season last year.

Brown is a Players union executive. He wouldn’t blame a star player for anything  especially a friend . He’s being diplomatic

[jambr380]

This is very...odd.

I love Jaylen, but time to move on. I have no idea why on earth he would say anything - especially casting blame on Danny and Brad.

I guess we'll be looking at a lot more 'trade Jaylen' threads once the season is over and he is eligible to be dealt.

Every Celtic who gives any interview with the media is asked about it, so what is he supposed to do?  This is much more moving on than most anything else he could say.

If we want Jaylen to move on then we need to not click stories that have “Celtic X said [this] about Kyrie.”  Then the media will stop acting questions.  I’m sure Jaylen is tired of hearing them.

Jaylen was just telling the truth. It's just that no one wants to hear it. Kyrie Never wanted to be a Celtic... EVER... He just played the game until he could move on... 
The Celtics Trading for him and then bending over backward for him, even after it was clear that he didn't give a darn is on The Front office...  Not saying that the move was a bad move - but it was destined to blow up in our faces and it did. 

The Coach catered to him... The Front office Catered to him.. And the Team could never really become a team.. It was just the Kyrie show...

So yea. Its time to move on but Brown was just being honest.

Ouch Jaylen!! Think he should kept to himself..dont stir the pot

I've never heard of "Scoop B Robinson" so I have no idea if this is an actual reporter reporting actual quotes or just some joker who writes for a website I've never heard of "Heavy.com" making stuff up for clicks.

What I AM sure of is that the sentiment that the coaching staff and front office bumbled away a potential championship run last season is fair.  You had a superstar playing at a superstar level and a bunch of young lottery picks and solid vets who were a quarter away from playing in the NBA finals the previous season. 

Did Brown really criticize his coaches and front office?  Probably not (or not to the level that's portrayed in the article), but realistically the Celtics tried to have like 9 guys who all thought they were starters on the same team and that's objectively stupid.

Dumber still, even though it was obvious it wouldn't work after the first week of practice, they stubbornly took that same broken team all the way into a second round playoff collapse with no changes.

I don't blame Scoop B Robinson for pretending Jaylen Brown said what is probably something Kyrie Irving actually said in passing.  I'm just glad someone said it.

If you click through the article, it's leads to the full [print version] of the interview:

Pretty fluffy stuff.  High praise for Kemba, thinks Jamal Crawford should be in the league somewhere, didn't celebrate his extension, surprised how intense Boston fans are, Terry Rozier is one of the guys he worked out with this summer (so no bad blood there either).

So funny you post this...

I decided to do a basic "search" of Scoop B Robinson on Google and this is what I found.

Everyone here can check and decide for themselves, lol.......

At first glance dude appears tied to some dead and untrue "Kevin Durant to the Lakers" posts.....

It DOES - in fact - bring up the validity factor in all of this.

Of course the NBA media would love to see the Kyrie Narrative kicked around as much as possible.

[keevsnick]

I mean he's not the only one to say so..... both Steves and Ainge have also said it was the coaches and front offices fault.

[mmmmm]

Maybe he should be looking at himself for how terrible he was to start the season last year.

Jaylen was playing with an injured hand to start the season last year.
