Jaylen Brown news from the always reliable
@AdamHimmelsbach
: "A league source said that Brown has grown frustrated with the organization?s approach following a season in which he guided the Celtics to 56 wins while Jayson Tatum was sidelined for months with an Achilles injury."
In fairness, he's not wrong there. They reverted back to the 3-point philosophy in the postseason and went away from what worked in the regular season. During the season, their 3-pointers and reliance on them went down a bit and was neutralized. We've been critical of Mazzulla's philosophy and I think Jaylen is too.
I am not sure he is upset with the play style. Brown took 42 3s in the series vs Philly. I take it more as he is tired of the Cs prefering JT over JB.
But my question to JB is how come he couldn't lead the Celtics to Game 7 wins in 2023 and 2026? No answer? There we go
Is it possible it?s because nobody else on the team stepped up? I believe JB had over 30 points. I remember a ton of missed shots by others on the team.
Brown isn?t a perfect player. He turns the ball over to much and not a great free throw shooter, but he?s second team all NBA and 6th in MVP voting.
I don?t think Tatum would have lead that team, the way the rest of them played to a win in game seven, but we?ll never know. Once again, he didn?t suit up for it.
