I asked this question well before JB decided to enter the dunk contest and declare himself one of the best to ever do it.

People referenced stats on how much he’s dunked this year. That’s not the point. JB tries to force posterize a lot, but if you watch enough basketball it’s clear he’s not a top leaper in this league. Aaron Gordon says hello, but the list is longer.

His game relies heavily on athleticism. I’ve mentioned all year how he often jogs back and naps on defense when it’s not a 1 v 1 matchup. It’s not hate. LeBron started doing that too as he aged.

BUT JB’s game relies soooo much more on athleticism than others. A trade as soon as possible will give us the best return.

Go outside and breathe some fresh air, it will do you some good


I just don’t understand how one’s human brain can come up with **** like this lol

Browns inability to hit a FT is absolutely going to be the demise of this team in the playoffs, bookmark it. Imagine making $300M to play basketball professionally and you can't hit a shot when literally no one is guarding you :noway:

He missed what 4 of his first 5 drives (which all happened in the first few minutes) against the Suns and it didn't feel like "same old JB", it felt like "wtf is going on JB". Then he got T'd up because he felt, as I did, he got fouled on at least a couple of those.

Man I hope a team doesn't start a "hack-a-Brown and Brown crumbles at the FT line and turns into Ben Simmons :o :(

It took some time but with all the shooters on Boston combined with Brown making better reads and passing (mostly to KP it seems) teams are hesitant to smother trap and/or double Brown in the lane. And because of that, Brown is excelling lately. Not saying he doesn't still go Tunnel vision at times. But there has been some good progress with Brown this season.

Even if the Celtics lose all their remaining games, JB assured of his 6th (out of 8) season with a win % of at least 60%. Missed it by one game in 2018-19 and won half the games in 2020-21. He and JT have never had a losing (regular) season.

JB is 3rd in scoring in the East post-ASB behind Giannis and Maxey with almost 3 A/TO on 53/38 splits. Also leads the East in +/- per game at 15.6 during that span.

What's his FT% in that span?

We really don't need this type of talk headed into the playoffs. There's time in late June/July to talk about this.

There is still hope, after all. Lets win a ring so Jaylen can freely look for his own team in the off-season.

.644. Large effect from the Denver game where he went 7/14.
The difference between that and 80% would be missing a 3 and two 2s.
Which would make his split 52/37/80… just for a little perspective on the importance of free throws.
Would we win that Denver game if he makes a few more? Maybe maybe not. Sure we would like him to shoot better from the line but this doesn’t matter as much as you think it does.

If they win a ring then why would you want him to leave? That doesn’t make any sense

Say what you want about the guy, but that’s a money line from Brown.
