Jaylen Brown: We felt like we let our fan base, our organization down
Souichi Terada: Jaylen Brown: “It’s an obvious letdown. We felt like we let our fan base, our organization down. We let ourselves down. It’s collective. We can keep pointing fingers. But in reality, it’s just embarrassing.”

Jaylen Brown will ultimately decide what happens next with the Celtics coach. His extension talks this summer will create enough leverage that he can basically get first and last word on the matter. – 11:47 PM

Jaylen Brown on if the Celtics season has run out of gas: “I don’t think so. I would hope not. That’s not what I’m about. I’ma fight to the end, so I’m gonna try to get our guys ready for the next game. We come out and we put our best foot forward.” – 11:32 PM

I wouldn’t split up Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown unless one of them forces the issue.
Literally every other human being associated with that organization is now expendable as far as I’m concerned. – 10:47 PM

Asked @btoporek for estimates:
-Jaylen Brown could sign roughly a $295m Supermax to stay.
-If he turns that down + bos trades him and he re-signs a 5yr deal next summer that’s ~$256, about $43m less.
If somehow he got traded someplace he didn’t like and left? that’s ~$190m. – 10:40 PM

Had a long conversation with @John_Zannis on the #Celtics‘ future as Brown made All-NBA as Boston fell behind 3-2 vs. PHI. Same points stand w/ 0-3 deficit looming here.

Jaylen Brown is 0/7 from deep tonight. Keeps firing away on plays where he can try to attack and make something happen in the paint.
The only thing that could save the Celtics season is Miami forfeiting. – 10:09 PM

Jaylen Brown taking a contested 3 with 11 seconds left is mind blowing. He is completely shook out there, Tatum keeps driving into triple teams, and the offense has no side-to-side movement. Nobody is screening for the ball and creating movement against the grain of the zone. – 9:31 PM

Jaylen Brown’s 8 points in the first 6 minutes are already halfway to his Game 2 total. He’s been targeting cross matches in transition and going into his shot off the catch. Not ideal shot locations but he’s taking them with conviction. – 8:44 PM

Only six NBA teams have ever come back down 0-2 in a conference finals. The Celtics will look to become the seventh.
