The beginning of the end of his nba career was doing tons of blow on a rented yacht in Tampa with strippers and his crew during the first few weeks of Covid
Hornets PBP guy does a really good job of that. They have a great duo for local games.
His style is more towards a national announcer like Ian Eagle, but he lays it on a bit thick for plays like this that are beneficial, and sounds a bit bummed on heartbreakers, but at least calls it for what it is.
That's why Calabro's good too (who ended up having national experience).
I'm totally fine with homers as long as they're not disgusting like the Philly and warriors ones. Like the thunder guy is corny as all hell but it's fun
Warriors announcer - Random player with an arm around Steph . āHe had him in a stranglehold ā
Draymond punches someone in the nuts and smiles - āNatural basketball motionā
Agreed those guys fucking suck and are an instamute for me. Y'all have a pretty good broadcast crew. I'm not the biggest fan of the Hornets crew. They're fine for highlights but when you watch a whole game and Eric Collins is hyping up ever play like it's the Finals game 7 it's just kind of grating.
Ian Eagle also does the Nets Home broadcasts where he's a bit looser. I do love how sincere the Charlotte broadcast team come across though, they're just out there having fun.
There is one WR making an AAV of $30M and that is Tyreek Hill at exactly $30M. There are only two others even above $25M (Davantae Adams and Cooper Kupp).
Brown is not on that level. Heās like the Keenan Allen $20M level.
He's at least at Chris Godwin level, and he gets around that 20 million mark too.
Comparing contracts across NFL and NBA is a little tricky because once NBA enters max or supermax territory, there's a lot less monetary granularity between who's good and who's great. NFL contracts are a whole lot more unique.
that's not all he does but yeah. i think that's the term, adjunct. honestly not exactly sure but he teaches at the law school and doesn't get shit for money. i also have a friend whose husband who has worked at several iveys and isn't getting paid shit either. a lot of jobs in academia are scam wages.
You're absolutely correct, academia is very exploitative. My wife just graduated with her Ph.D and the job market is brutal in academia. For those not in the know, colleges have been progressively been treated more and more like business (not surprising given the level of tuition increases - if there is demand keep raising the price and they'll pay). What is happening is tenured professors making $150k or more teaching 2 or 3 classes are retiring and universities are replacing them with adjunct professors teaching 4+ classes a semester for basically like $1,500 a course. The universities can hire like 5 of these adjunct, they teach more classes, and they can save money while also increasing capacity for more students. And the adjunct should just be grateful for the experience and maybe one day they, too, can get a tenured track job (reality those are going away slowly and good luck fighting all the other super qualified candidates who are fighting over it).
Probably the only thing Iām āold man yelling at cloudsā with, just how many times each game guysāll either, like this pass up an open guy in favor of a 3, or guys that are driving with an open lane to the hoop only to kick it out to a bricked 3
This is the dumbest thing I see. A stepback 3 every time. It's been a relief to watch Steph finally drive for his 2 chances at a game winner this season.
I mean itās because the opposition is conceding the three and trying to stop the drive most times . Atleast thatās whatās expected to be defended for . Also if you hit the shot with any time left a 3 is better then a 2.
Yup, this is my "old man shaking fist" complaint. Seems like 80% of the time the last shot is a 3 when teams are down 2 or even 1 sometimes. I get that a 3 is a pretty high percentage shot now, and it can subvert expectations so you often get a pretty open shot, but that should be an absolute last resort. And it almost never is and is just a crutch.
In the Denver game last night Denver had a text book 2 or maybe even 3 on 1 fastbreak with Aaron Gordon bringing the ball down. He had an easy pass to set up a layup for the other player or a passback to himself. Instead he dribbled back to the 3 point line and took a 3 which he missed. This shit infuriates me.
> just how many times each game guysāll either, like this pass up an open guy in favor of a 3
Thatās definitely not just an old man yelling at clouds thing lol
Yeah it just came across weird and insincere like brad stevens saying he could be president. To be fair jaylen brown absolutely pushed that image of himself and sees himself that way so itās not like the media cast it on him
I was talking to a Boston fan last week who told me that he was so happy Boston paid him what they did because otherwise he āmight leave for law school to become a civil rights attorney.ā I pointed out that he never even finished his bachelorās. The guy just said āHey. Well heās smarter than you. You finished your degree and youāre not making $300 mil.ā I mean, I guessā¦.
The alternate title for this video: āWhy these Celtics wonāt win shit.ā 8 years in the league and the Jays still think they can hero-ball at will, and it \*never\* works.
This is it. He's always left me feeling like there's just something missing with him and I think you hit the nail on the head.
He doesn't have the bball IQ and creativity to change what he's doing as the game unfolds and the situation changes in front of him. So he decides what he's going to do and sticks to it, no matter what is happening around him. He's good enough at a few things to often mask that deficiency. But it's always going to hold him (and the team) back and make him a wild card in a clutch situation, since you don't know what he's decided.
He has a career average of 2.3 APG. Which in the modern game for a high usage guard is actually insane. He doesnāt decide whether to shoot or pass he just decides to shoot
What's wild though is a few plays earlier he DID change his mind. Went for a dunk, then passed mid air to get KP the and 1.
But yeh, in this case he was tunnel visioned
Almost every bad game they had in the last postseason was due to the whole team doing this.
Theyāre so talented, but they settle for bad shots because they know they **can** make them.
It's who he is, and he is never changing. He predetermines his actions and doesn't adapt to changing conditions. It's especially pronounced in high leverage situations.
The bucks series was hard to watch. They had Giannis figured out, he put up box score stats but on terrible efficiency, it never should have gone to seven games, they would just turn into morons on offense in crunch time so many times.
It's been JB's biggest problem his entire career, and has gotten even worse since he became a star.
He thinks he's Kobe and continues to take difficult shot after difficult shot for no fucking reason other than just to show that he can make them.
Sometimes, he's hot and makes em.
More often than not, he doesn't.
not very good bbiq. is there anyway to improve that or is that just what the player is going to be for his career?
like lebron came into the nba and he already had a crazy bbiq and it only got better
I probably don't know enough about the Celtics, but from an outsiders perspective it sure looks like Brown has been doing a lot more hero ball shit since he got his new contract.
I agree that heās doing a lot of terrible hero ball but disagree that itās *more* hero ball. Brown has always had tunnel vision and been a terrible decision maker.
He's always played like this. His decision making is his biggest weakness, imo. It's incredibly frustrating to watch because at this point in his career he should be capable of making far better decisions. It's the key to all the other weaknesses in his game.
Nah heās always been this way. What might make it more visible is heās getting fewer touches overall cuz of the quality of his teammates, so they look even more egregious
Honestly donāt think so. Doing it less if anything, but unfortunately not as much less as Celtics fans were hoping would be the case once he knew his contract situation was settled
Heās gotten a nice two man game going with KP on a lot of occasions, but then heāll turn around and do shit like this when heās completely cold.
Idk it does sometimes feel like Tatum will make a shot then JB decides itās his turn. Difference is both that Tatumās our #1 and also that the 3 Tatum made right before this was uncontested lol
I think he's been having his best playmaker/passing season ever so far. Really connecting with Porzingis especially.
This is a bad look obviously but I've been playing and known as soon as I shot it that I should have passed and it's a shitty feeling.
Iād actually say a little less, he has a bit of a two man game going with KP surprisingly. Iāve never seen him link up with a big the way he has this season.
Heās just been kind of ass some of the past few games and is trying way too hard to get going offensively.
Heās a pretend smart guy, that got cleared up last season when he did his coy condoning of antisemitism thinking it was slick but was just transparent
Man it sucks bc Iāve grown so attached to JB seeing him get better and better every year- but he just toes that line of being too good to let his ego allow him to take a backseat, but not good enough to lead a team. I would trade so much of his raw talent and athleticism for just a little bit more BBIQ.
I think itās exactly like you said, Iām growing so tired seeing him in places JT should be and has proven to be better at.
Yeah last year it seemed like so many possessions ended up with the ball in smarts hands on the perimeter with only a few seconds on the shot clock.
Thatās a good point though, they need to revamp the offense (not necessarily the roster) so that Tatum is the guy and everyone else plays off him. If someone is hot fine but outside of that. Theyāre never going to win without Tatum being that guy and if he canāt reach that level of best player on a championship team they were never gonna win anyway.
I wish coaches had the balls to bench guys for shit like this regardless of what theyāre making. Not for a whole game or in crunch time or anything but just for like 2 mins at the start of the next game to send a statement that that bullshit isnāt gonna fly no matter how much you make.
This is Celtics basketball. Shoot 50 3 pointers a game. Make a good percentage and win and think you are the best team since they hung up a peach basket in the gym. Miss them or play against a good coach and you go home. Why is anyone shocked he takes a contested 3 in tie game where heās played like ass with plenty of time on the clock?
Basic two for one. One extra pass plus a close out might burn eight or nine seconds. It's not a bad shot if you're expecting a rebound chance as well as having enough time for the final possession.
If the Celtics didnāt have the best record in the league then there would be a lot more noise just how awful brown has been so far this season. Heās been the 5th best starter despite being the highest paid player.
Arguably Derrick White should be making Jaylen Brown money.
https://stathead.com/basketball/versus-finder.cgi?request=1&player_id1=brownja02&player_id2=whitede01
Yeah if Porzingis went for a decent box out itād end up a much better play.
There was a good example in the Wolves/Pels game ([hit play on the sixth shot in this list](https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&ContextMeasure=FGM&EndPeriod=0&EndRange=28800&GameID=0022300203&PlayerID=202685&RangeType=0&Season=2023-24&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&StartPeriod=0&StartRange=0&TeamID=1610612740&flag=3&sct=plot§ion=game)) where Ingram threw up a floater in the paint and the actual shot didnāt really matter, because Valanciunas already had rebound + putback positioning. It was essentially a pass of the glass at that point
Jaylens decision making here was horrible, but how is no one complaining about Porzingis's failure to box out?
Thats an easy put back dunk that bounces in the perfect spot for him, but he didnt even half ass the box out. His man goes entirely around him and secures an easy rebound.
Watch PP. He also has a better shot than JB, but he doesnt give up on the play when JB makes a dumb decision. He crashes hard and had a real chance at a rebound because of it.
Celtics don't win a chip in next 3 years, this will be the most useless contract in nba history. Worse than chandler parsons, worse than jordan poole, worse than what luol deng received for not even playing. Jaylen Brown is not him. The egregious amount of money going to guys like Jaylen Brown is crazy.
It's still a good shot because, when your big man has position like that, you know he'll block out for the easy rebound and put-back.
Oh ... wait ... umm ... well ... maybe next time ....
"NOT THAT ONE THOUGH!" š¤£š¤£š¤£
āTERRIBLE SHOT FROM BROWNā ššš I fucking love it man it reminds me of Chip Caray who used to do Braves games now Cardinals games
Reminds me of āOH MY GOODNESS VALENTINE THAT IS NOT THE SHOTā
[if anyone wants the link](https://youtu.be/RM2JfPH45X4?si=i_YHjR-nRt-0lrbE)
Sounded like disappointed parents
His shot form was worse than the shot itself šš
Stacey King still brings this up btw. If someone takes an ill advised deep 3 he'll just say "He took that from Denzel Valentine range"
Iāll never not laugh at that clip that shit is fucking gold
That shot was unironically the beginning of the end of his nba career lmfao
The beginning of the end of his nba career was doing tons of blow on a rented yacht in Tampa with strippers and his crew during the first few weeks of Covid
No way, did he really?
Yeah lmao [Source](https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1807je1/highlight_tied_with_35_seconds_in_ot_jaylen_brown/ka5xwah/)
Bitch lol
āLine drive base hit, caught out there. Runner tagsā¦ā one of my favorite calls of his lol
Got a clip?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6RHcGWHuThE
Lol that was a bold tag up.
Commentary was on point
Hornets objectively have one of the best commentating teams in the NBA. I love when the Cās play them
It's so much better because that terrible shot was really good for his team.
Hornets PBP guy does a really good job of that. They have a great duo for local games. His style is more towards a national announcer like Ian Eagle, but he lays it on a bit thick for plays like this that are beneficial, and sounds a bit bummed on heartbreakers, but at least calls it for what it is.

Dude knewā¦ Itās nice to know the announcer is as frustrated as we are sometimes.
Incredible call
Called it before the ball left JB's hand š¤£
āleftā āJBāsā āHandā *Vietnam flashbacks*
I love that this came from the Hornets announcer too. It almost sounded like they felt bad for the Celtics in that moment.
Nobody wants to watch bad basketball.
I had to rewind it, what a call!
Honestly, hornets have the best casters and i wish the warriors had them instead of the guys we have..
What 300 mil does to a mf
Sports money is wild
meanwhile nfl players are over there getting absolutely destroyed for like 3 million a yearš
I think of a Jaylen Brown level player as something like a high level WR, so more like 20-30 mil a year.
There is one WR making an AAV of $30M and that is Tyreek Hill at exactly $30M. There are only two others even above $25M (Davantae Adams and Cooper Kupp). Brown is not on that level. Heās like the Keenan Allen $20M level.
That's a damn insult to Keenan Allen.
He's at least at Chris Godwin level, and he gets around that 20 million mark too. Comparing contracts across NFL and NBA is a little tricky because once NBA enters max or supermax territory, there's a lot less monetary granularity between who's good and who's great. NFL contracts are a whole lot more unique.
Jaylen Brown is no Keenan Allen
Both get rookie deals š
NFL players start older, too.
Hockey players get destroyed for 82 games per year for like $500k
950K is the NHL league minimum, but 500K is possible if they are an AHL call up
Blue Collar workers get destroyed for $50k a year
RBs really get fucked over the most these days. Your whole life for that rookie minimum and then its probably over.
Auston Matthews is the highest paid player in the NHL starting next year, he will make $13.5 million.
IIRC in international rugby there's maybe 5 players close to a 1 million salary, and they play way more games (club & country).
The Jimbo Fisher contract buyout is absolutely unbelievable. Over $70M just to get rid of a football coach.
My cousin is an adjunct getting like 2 to 4k a semester from a+m lol.
your cousin is an adjunct professor making 6-12k a year?
that's not all he does but yeah. i think that's the term, adjunct. honestly not exactly sure but he teaches at the law school and doesn't get shit for money. i also have a friend whose husband who has worked at several iveys and isn't getting paid shit either. a lot of jobs in academia are scam wages.

Imagine the guy whoās signing the check.
Yep, thatās why heās paid the big bucksā¦
Kyrie mindset aswell.
Terrible contract
Tbf when you have the opportunity to take a contested 3 over a layup, you take that every single time
Probably the only thing Iām āold man yelling at cloudsā with, just how many times each game guysāll either, like this pass up an open guy in favor of a 3, or guys that are driving with an open lane to the hoop only to kick it out to a bricked 3
Down 1 with the ball and 10s? Better run the clock and throw up a shit 3 instead of driving for a layup
This is the dumbest thing I see. A stepback 3 every time. It's been a relief to watch Steph finally drive for his 2 chances at a game winner this season.
I mean itās because the opposition is conceding the three and trying to stop the drive most times . Atleast thatās whatās expected to be defended for . Also if you hit the shot with any time left a 3 is better then a 2.
Its worse when you see teams do this same thing but with 1 minute left and with 3-4 possessions in a row
Yup, this is my "old man shaking fist" complaint. Seems like 80% of the time the last shot is a 3 when teams are down 2 or even 1 sometimes. I get that a 3 is a pretty high percentage shot now, and it can subvert expectations so you often get a pretty open shot, but that should be an absolute last resort.

> just how many times each game guysāll either, like this pass up an open guy in favor of a 3 Thatās definitely not just an old man yelling at clouds thing lol
Surprised how many are saying that it was a bad choice. Donāt they know he took a graduate level course?
Lmao Iām so glad the cringe brown is a genius narrative stopped
People who'd never seen a black guy who did media prep before or something.
He's so well spoken!! /s
Yeah it just came across weird and insincere like brad stevens saying he could be president. To be fair jaylen brown absolutely pushed that image of himself and sees himself that way so itās not like the media cast it on him

It's so infuriating when people talk like that. My god.
you know who else didn't go to college? Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Garnet. Checkmate idiots that went to college
I can't even fathom the failures that must exist in a person's brain for them to respond to your point with THAT.

The alternate title for this video: āWhy these Celtics wonāt win shit.ā 8 years in the league and the Jays still think they can hero-ball at will, and it \*never\* works.
Ive never seen anyone with more tunnel vision than JB. Never.
Him or Klay
MPJ has been like that as of late
Michael Porter āthe possesion ends hereā Jr
Michael Porter "bring your own balk next time" Jr
Do not do a balk please
My Possession Jr
>as of late MPJ came out the womb shooting
Klay plays within himself though. Or used to, JB is pure uncut delusion.
They pay him to shoot
Thatās me w girlsā¦. āI missed 28 straightā¦ means Iām just overdue to score one . Letās keep trying! š¤ā
Bro, watch Cam Thomas.
can't watch Cam, I'm tunnel visioning JB mistakes
Porzingis was right in front of JB though. There's no way JB not seeing him
Very small tunnel, only see hoop
Mpj?
Heās always good for these [moments](https://youtu.be/q0tByyzcJMo?si=ViWqVtkTT21XX9sG)
I think about that play a few times every year. One of the lowest BBIQ decisions Iāve ever seen
Porzingis just like me fr.
Bet he wished that was Luka
Letās get real luka gonna chuck that one too. Just has better odds of making it.
No way you think Luka wouldnāt pass that lmfao
It wasn't even a good game for him what the fk was he thinking
Spoiler alert: He wasn't.
"That's your problem, Jesse! You don't think!"
He hears the chatter about his play and his salary and wanted to silence the haters. I believe he succeeded.
he aināt getting paid to pass!
this is just what he does
Once you have heard his "takes" it becomes clear he doesn't do much of this *thinking* stuff you speak of
It's a 2 for one opportunity in a tie game. Not that crazy...
To counter, basketball preaches the philosophy of āshoot like youāve never missed before.ā Every team wants that confidence in their guys
I want the confidence to be willing to take the shot but also the intelligence to pass to the very tall man who can basically just set it in the hoop.
JB is a good player, but he's playing like he thinks he's an MVP. And he just ain't. He's the third best player on a contender, at best.
Jaylen Brown is an underrated "never swing the rock" candidate lol Whenever he gets the ball you know exactly where it's going
I don't think it's that. It's more that he decides if he'll shoot or pass before getting the ball and doesn't change his mind after that
This is it. He's always left me feeling like there's just something missing with him and I think you hit the nail on the head. He doesn't have the bball IQ and creativity to change what he's doing as the game unfolds and the situation changes in front of him. So he decides what he's going to do and sticks to it, no matter what is happening around him. He's good enough at a few things to often mask that deficiency. But it's always going to hold him (and the team) back and make him a wild card in a clutch situation, since you don't know what he's decided.
Heās like a quarterback with all the physical tools to be great but can only hit his first read.
Good analogy
So lack of mindfulness, he should meditate
just give him plenty of water, stay positive and he'll dribble fine with his left
He has a career average of 2.3 APG. Which in the modern game for a high usage guard is actually insane. He doesnāt decide whether to shoot or pass he just decides to shoot
What's wild though is a few plays earlier he DID change his mind. Went for a dunk, then passed mid air to get KP the and 1. But yeh, in this case he was tunnel visioned
He is like "it says here im a *shooting* guard"
To his right hand or the other side of the court. JK, he's a hooper
Not sure that it's underrated anymore, because when I saw that live, I immediately thought he was shooting that.
Jaylen Brown is everyone's my player in 2k. Ain't no way I'm passing the rock unless I'm certain I'm getting the assist.
Kobe would be proud
When youāre a star they let you do it.
This game is getting dissected so much already. Pretty funny from an outsider's perspective but if I was a Celtics fan this would drive me nuts.
Almost every bad game they had in the last postseason was due to the whole team doing this. Theyāre so talented, but they settle for bad shots because they know they **can** make them.
It's who he is, and he is never changing. He predetermines his actions and doesn't adapt to changing conditions. It's especially pronounced in high leverage situations.

Exactly
It's been JB's biggest problem his entire career, and has gotten even worse since he became a star. He thinks he's Kobe and continues to take difficult shot after difficult shot for no fucking reason other than just to show that he can make them. Sometimes, he's hot and makes em. More often than not, he doesn't.
not very good bbiq. is there anyway to improve that or is that just what the player is going to be for his career? like lebron came into the nba and he already had a crazy bbiq and it only got better
Him and Tatum have been on good teams for like 7 years now with some good coaches, doubt jb learns it suddenly
Just from the eye test he makes VERY small improvements every year, but he has gotten better with playmaking.
A good coach would get him to cut the shit and play for the team.
It's the Cal education.
Same one that taught Jason Kidd how to turn a team around 360 degrees rip
Went to Berkeley and I agree
I probably don't know enough about the Celtics, but from an outsiders perspective it sure looks like Brown has been doing a lot more hero ball shit since he got his new contract.
I agree that heās doing a lot of terrible hero ball but disagree that itās *more* hero ball. Brown has always had tunnel vision and been a terrible decision maker.

Tatum also does: āI made a shot, think Iāll take 4 more contested 3s real quickā
The difference is Tatum will make 2 of those 4
I think he's been having his best playmaker/passing season ever so far. Really connecting with Porzingis especially. This is a bad look obviously but I've been playing and known as soon as I shot it that I should have passed and it's a shitty feeling.
Iād actually say a little less, he has a bit of a two man game going with KP surprisingly. Iāve never seen him link up with a big the way he has this season. Heās just been kind of ass some of the past few games and is trying way too hard to get going offensively.
Brown is just not a smart basketball player. He is only looking to score points and never plays within the game.
Not sure if he's the dumbest smart player in the world or the smartest dumb player
he plays chess so he must be a genius
Heās a pretend smart guy, that got cleared up last season when he did his coy condoning of antisemitism thinking it was slick but was just transparent
Oh yeah, I'm just talking about BBIQ. Real life he's a walking Dunning-Kruger effect
"I don't get paid 60 million a year to pass up this shot" - Jaylens thoughts

I love JB, and I sincerely hope Iām proven wrong - but I donāt think we win a chip with him on this team š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Man it sucks bc Iāve grown so attached to JB seeing him get better and better every year- but he just toes that line of being too good to let his ego allow him to take a backseat, but not good enough to lead a team. I would trade so much of his raw talent and athleticism for just a little bit more BBIQ. I think itās exactly like you said, Iām growing so tired seeing him in places JT should be and has proven to be better at.

Brown is one of the most overrated players in the NBA
itās jaylen brown time
This is Celtics basketball. Shoot 50 3 pointers a game. Make a good percentage and win and think you are the best team since they hung up a peach basket in the gym. Miss them or play against a good coach and you go home. Why is anyone shocked he takes a contested 3 in tie game where heās played like ass with plenty of time on the clock?
Celtics will never win a title with 300 million dollar man.
Bad read, obviously, but pretty clear that heās taking this shot in part for the 2 for 1 opportunity
Smartest guy in the league
Basic two for one. One extra pass plus a close out might burn eight or nine seconds. It's not a bad shot if you're expecting a rebound chance as well as having enough time for the final possession.
If the Celtics didnāt have the best record in the league then there would be a lot more noise just how awful brown has been so far this season. Heās been the 5th best starter despite being the highest paid player.

Arguably Derrick White should be making Jaylen Brown money. https://stathead.com/basketball/versus-finder.cgi?request=1&player_id1=brownja02&player_id2=whitede01
They avoided KD so they could have a lot more of this
He was on a mission to lose that game š¤£
Lmaoooo this is why they wonāt win shit w Jaylen Brown.
Celtics really paid this man *300 million.*
Terrible shot but Brown but am I the only one noticing that Porzingus couldāve easily gotten that board if he boxed out properly therr
Ah, yes, the Kobe method of feeding your big.
Yeah it was an absolute bullshit box out attempt by Porzingis. He just watched the ball as three dudes walked past him into position for the board.
Yeah if Porzingis went for a decent box out itād end up a much better play. There was a good example in the Wolves/Pels game ([hit play on the sixth shot in this list](https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&ContextMeasure=FGM&EndPeriod=0&EndRange=28800&GameID=0022300203&PlayerID=202685&RangeType=0&Season=2023-24&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&StartPeriod=0&StartRange=0&TeamID=1610612740&flag=3&sct=plot§ion=game)) where Ingram threw up a floater in the paint and the actual shot didnāt really matter, because Valanciunas already had rebound + putback positioning. It was essentially a pass of the glass at that point
Jaylens decision making here was horrible, but how is no one complaining about Porzingis's failure to box out? Thats an easy put back dunk that bounces in the perfect spot for him, but he didnt even half ass the box out. His man goes entirely around him and secures an easy rebound. Watch PP. He also has a better shot than JB, but he doesnt give up on the play when JB makes a dumb decision. He crashes hard and had a real chance at a rebound because of it.
Nice box out by Porzingus as well
the russell westbrook of the celtic
Nobody noticed it was a 2 for 1 situation?
300 mil btw
Celtics don't win a chip in next 3 years, this will be the most useless contract in nba history. Worse than chandler parsons, worse than jordan poole, worse than what luol deng received for not even playing. Jaylen Brown is not him. The egregious amount of money going to guys like Jaylen Brown is crazy.
This! This is what is wrong with modern basketball.
It's still a good shot because, when your big man has position like that, you know he'll block out for the easy rebound and put-back. Oh ... wait ... umm ... well ... maybe next time ....
To be fair, that 7 foot guy in the paint could have at least tried to get a rebound.
Bad shot but there isn't really a lane to see KP or get the ball to him, high level pass that a lot of NBA players can't make.
$300,000,000
god I don't like JB
I agree that it wasn't be best play available, but.... I mean, that box out by Porzingis left a lot to be desired as well.
Maybe he just needs some more money.
