Brooklyn Nets wing Bruce Brown had a big game in his team's Play-In Tournament victory to clinch a playoff spot. Maybe he was still feeling that energy postgame when he commented on the Nets first round opponent the Boston Celtics. But teammate Kevin Durant wasn't having any of Brown's "caffeine pride".
When asked about the matchup with Boston, and the Celtics missing starting center Robert Williams, Brown said, "Them not having Robert Williams is huge. We can attack (Daniel) Theis and (Al) Horford in the paint."
Durant heard what Brown said and tried to calm his younger teammate down a bit.
"That's caffeine pride talking. Those dudes (Horford and Theis) can do the same things (as Williams)," said Durant. "We don't need to say (expletive) like that. Let's just go out there and hoop."

Good for KD. Brown doesn't need to talk about anything. Shut up and play.
A healthy amount of respect is needed against any opponent. Doesn't matter if they are a lottery team or a #2 seed. Respect who is out there.

He’s moving more, he’s shooting, he’s starting to move a little bit on the court in a one-on-zero environment. So definitely positive signs that it’s improving and moving and all those things. But like I said he hasn’t been running full speed or playing against anybody, so still a lot more markers to meet.”

After Harden fiasco and how he was commenting on stuff and Ben news in general, why even ask Nash about anything? I mean this guy lives in his own universe.

Coaching is so lopsided. Coaching could realistically be a +25-30 point advantage for Boston

Nash will not hunt Horford on switches once.
