Well he was pretty bad against the Heat and wasn't exactly facing a tough defense (Herro), but he is doing what needs to be done this series.

“Out of this world” does seem a bit strong, but he has been solid in the post season. Defensively he has made a big step imo. Generally playing smart and tough and able to play 1-5 at times. Been impressed by his strength and finishing.

He was pretty solid against the Heat. Shot 52% from the the field. The one thing holding back his efficiency in that series was missed free throws. 9/20 not good enough.

In the cavs series he's shooting 62/44/80.

he's been overall very good.

His shooting from the line has always been mind boggling to me. Very streaky and inconsistent.

It's definitely a mental thing with him. He gets in his own head, especially when he misses the first. Seems more often than not he then misses the second.

During last night's game there was a free throw when the game was still in balance (2nd of 2 for that particular trip to the line) and they used a camera angle from the baseline right side pointing right at JB. JB was in his routine and suddenly stopped for a split second to look over at what someone from the Cavs on the box was saying then went right into his shooting motion. I fully expected him to miss it because he lost his focus and concentration in the middle. He rattled it in, but it wasn't clean, and just pointed out further it definitely is a mental thing. The part I'm let unsure of is if that means it's more correctable and he can shoot mid-80's with an off-season of making it a focus (like you'd think he'd do since media has brought it up MANY times) or does it mean it's mental so more difficult for JB as most of his mistakes are mental, not physical.

Bro has taken almost 2500 freethrows in his NBA career. I think at this point we know his true shooting talent and it's not realistic to expect a jump at age 28. Usually players get better from the line as they age but it's gradual and not always the case.
Just hoping he doesn't get worse or, better yet, we trade him for Giannis after we get him to share one ring with the group.

Nah Lets trade him to Minni for KAT. Celtics can have all 7 footers shooting 3 team who lose in the playoffs.

Pretty sure Jokic passed him back last night but JB is climbing the charts.

You like to repeat true shooting, true shooting, true shooting to downplay Jaylen.
You know what? In 103 playoff games JT has a 56.8 TS.
In 114 playoff games JB has a 58.1 TS.

Some days ago you missed Derrick White on/off and now you missed this one. It's a little bit suspicious.

But Jaylen has been guarded by part time plumbers from 1976.

Couldn't help but read "part time plumbers" like it was a parody version of a Stevie Wonder hit.

80% of that should go to Horford's Rejuvenation Effort.

stands 15 feet from the hoop
shoots it 14 feet
might be the death of me
OR maybe it's intentional to get ORBs?

Great season by JB and everything, but couldn't we have just saved like 10 or even 5% on that super-mega-dupper-fat contract? :cry:

I mean, his ceiling is Top-15 right? He shouldn't make what the Jokers and the SGAs of the world will make...

I'm just calling to say that I wish this had gotten some and1s. Sir Duke would have given you one.

This year Brown is 41st highest paid salary. Next year year tied for 8th, 25/26 tied for 9th, 26/27 tied for 6th. As other players sign max contracts he will move down the list. I suspect that next year will be the only year that he is a top 10highest paid player.

Brown drove me nuts with his UPs and Downs in the regular season. But playoffs has been his best BB ever.

ONE MORE SERIES PLEASE!!!!

It’s time to get serious and focus on TEAM basketball and let the point guards handle the ball the rest of the season.

JB’s role needs to be the 5th option for us to win a championship. (Until we can trade him)

In the Hawks games JB, AGAIN yells at Pritch and gets frustrated when he does not touch the ball for a few possessions. He’s been doing this crap for years and several times this season.

This type of ego impacts team performance. It forces JB into takeover mode. We know the story. Head down. Iso. Pass to someone’s feet if I get stuck.

I’ll still get a “potential assist” for the stat nerds.

The lowest IQ player should not complain about point guards who KYP. Know Your Personal.

JB is AN option not THE option.
