Odd you must have been lurking for a long time to know that with joining in October of 2023 and all and recognizing names who would yell at one prolific spewer of garbage.

Not sure that is quite true. He did grow up in the area and was on Celticshub.
If you've listened and read his work for many years, it's clear he's surrended his Celtics fan club card a long time ago. He's just a fan of good basketball.

I don’t listen to a ton of his stuff but I feel like he’s mentioned a couple of different times the viability of making a trade for depth if the team wants it.

Omg! Put this in the air of Massachussets or something! Hopefully this kind of clear, no-nonsense message arrives to him somehow.

Forget the $300m+ for a second. Brown has to be better. He has to be more consistent. At this point in his career he can’t play like he did on Momday. I’m tired of “ I had a bad game” or “ I’ve got to be better”. Just be better and be smarter. Don’t take a bad 3 early in the shot clock with the game on the line especially when KP was wide open in the paint. Both he and Tatum need to eliminate the bone head plays

Imagine always being paired together with a far inferior player and being chastized for his mistakes just because your name happens to begin with "Jay."

Great game by Jaylen, a lot of quick attacks and passes right off of the catch. Was used really well, and him/KP did some nice work on the PnR.
Hopefully Jaylen can build on this and not try doing everything off the dribble.

Jaylen Brown listens to the Lowe Post confirmed. One of his best offensive games ever.

Originally I said Jrue or White/ KP/ Hauser/ Horford. I’m sticking with the same basic group but I’m ready to get more specific. White out there instead of it not mattering for me. Jrue is too similar to Smart in shot selection at times so I’m going White with JB. It’s not a big deal but if we’re talking our ideal lineups with JB that’s mine.

As Banchero said after the game. “It’s easy to pass the ball when you genuinely trust and love each other.”
My biggest problem with Brown over the years other than his lack of ball handling and decision making has been chemistry. Chemistry matters!
The hype machine thought it was hating to point out his chemistry with other players off the court. Years later…JB admits it himself.
JB is not mature enough to not let his jealousy and chemistry issues not show on the court. KP went down and JB goes back to 100% ME mode.
JB likes the two man game with KP because it’s a higher percentage chance of him either getting the ball back or at least limiting Tatum’s touches.
I’ve seen a large enough sample size. JB could pass more to Tatum or others IF he wanted to, but his point totals may continue to drop.
I will continue to state every year that Ball and Banchero are better players than Brown and play better TEAM basketball.
Banchero did not have his best game but he defaulted to getting his teammates involved.
We are paying JB 300+ million to play team basketball a few times a year instead of every game.

I was busy voting Jaylen for VC and voicing that fact in the post-game thread, of course.

Oh how nice of you leaving a “Jaylen was my pick” in the last game thread as your only positive comment about him, only to flood this post game thread with about a dozen comments taking glee out of watching him have a bad game.
As I said before, you’re pathetic.
