The first half of the Boston Celtics season was very complicated. In January, the greens posted a very very disappointing record of 18 wins and 21 losses. At this time of the year it spoke a lot about the association between Jayson Tatum et Jaylen Brown, some convinced that they could not play together and that it was probably necessary to leave in another direction, basically to exchange Brown. For Brown, it was mostly Boston fans who wanted him out. But there would never have been any question of taking this direction for the Celtics, who did well to persevere. Brown and Tatum are making great playoffs to carry the Greens to the NBA Finals.
“The trade rumors were loud, and most of it came from Boston fans,” Brown told Yahoo! Sports. “This is a city that does not tolerate excuses. But in reality, at the start of the season we had a new manager, we had a new front office, I missed about 15 games at the start of the season and that prevented us from operating at full capacity as we wanted. People were impatient, so I understand. But we ended up being healthy, we got everyone back and now everything is possible”
Brown, who runs at 22.9 points at 48.5% including 38.6% from distance, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 interceptions, could be one of the keys to these finals against the good defense of the Warriors.
“The Warriors are a tough team to play,” Brown said. “They are smart and they have a lot of punching power. I am excited and looking forward to the challenge. »
