Only Jaylen Brown could be this team's leading scorer, put up 30 points, shoot over 50% from the field and 3, hit all his free throws, get 5 rebounds and dish 3 assists with just 1 turnover and have more negative comments than positive comments made about him in a game thread on a Celtics fan site.
I was just going to write the SAME EXACT thing. I just came from reading comments on realgm celtics forum and it is the same way over there.
Brown gives us 30/5/3 on efficient shooting, and lots of people seem to think that is no big deal. Do people remember where Brown was 3-4 years ago?
Now when he gives us nights like this I guess a lot of us take it for granted. He is just such an effortless athlete that we all have come to expect it.
Other thank JB's good game, there were other positives: Malcom Brogdon even though he didn't shoot well, still impacts the game in a big way. Rebounding, assists, toughness, great def. Brogdon fits so well on our team, it is going to be really scary for the other teams once Timelord gets back. Then we get to the point where we are bringing Brogdon, White, Williams, Hauser all off the bench, all can play def and hit the 3.
Another great positive, Hauser continuing to get minutes. He needs reps to get into a rhythm as a shooter. We need to keep playing him 15-20 minutes a night. He isn't a bad defender, he actually is a smart defender. He just lacks a bit in the lateral quickness.
Vonleh was another positive from this game. I know he hasn't played much, or done much. But you have to build up the confidence level of these bench players. Noah led the team in rebounds in only 16 min tonight. Take that how you will, he still collected 7 boards, and a couple of them were great off rebounds that helped us maintain the lead.
TPs for everyone, a little late but still great win!
