Jaylen Brown Thread

[BostonCouchGM]

I’m not sure who wouldn’t want him to make all nba. It makes it more likely he stays here and that also makes him easier to be dealt down the road if he ever wants to move on.

Silly take.

Lol right? Smh. It’s imperative that he makes it

Dude stop.

The big hunk of crow gonna be a hard swallow even for you Mr 3 and D specialist.

reeeeeee. You DO realize theres' a difference between me believing he doesn't deserve to make all-nba and also believing for the Celtics it's better that he does because he'll be easier to move...right?

Crow? You think because he's gifted an all-nba like he was gifted his all-star games that that proves I'm wrong? No, it proves I'm right when I say that the media is littered with Celtics fanboys who ignore advanced stats and vote with emotion or he just happens to have "earned" these accolades because a slew of better players missed too much time so voters didn't vote for them. Jaylen is nowhere near a top 6 forward or guard. He's not even top 10 at either position. You think him being voted all-nba changes that? Too funny

Can't even water his plant without turning it over.

We are off to a flying start.

With all the attention on Tatum now leading the Celtics in scoring average in a single season, it's worth mentioning that JB broke into the top 10.



Other than Wilt + teammate, Baylor + teammate, and Kobe/Shaq, their combined averages might be highest in NBA history.

(Caveat: Adjusted to league average, it might not make top 20. Scoring just comes easier these days.)

Really man? You wouldn't know anybody? Lol

You're right about one thing, the whole idea is silly but it's sad truth that's many hold their personal agendas above what's good for the franchise.

Countless JB threads through the years over some BS and you act like these posters don't exist.

There’s like one person who would be angry and they mostly are playing into the role. Most people have come around and said Jaylen will be all nba and is deserving.

Your view seems pretty dated tbh. Over the years? Countless things that could be brought up over the years that make many people look bad on multiple topics other than jb. You also used the phrase “ a lot” which is just wrong. At best a small small minority and that’s different than “knowing anybody”.

It's not a view, it's a sad reality here. Good to see you've come around, I guess.

No it’s your sad reality but not at all reflective of the climate here currently. The alternative of him not making all nba means it increases him testing free agency exponentially. Which means it increases the odds he could leave us for nothing. That’s not beneficial to the Celtics In anyway shape or form. Even if you wanted to move on he’d be in a walk year and that greatly diminishes return.

So no, there won’t be “a lot” of people upset if he makes all nba- at all. It’s best for the Celtics and Jaylen to make all nba at this point and I, like the majority of others here are hoping he does.

Weird how every JB thread is so toxic.

Weird how every JB thread is so toxic.

Not as weird as how sensitive his fans are . Most important thing right now is we should all hope he has his best playoffs ever.

Perhaps he injured himself on a hemlock plant.

Is it weird or is it keeping in line with how others react when their favorites get talked about negatively (not constantly), because I was here on Marcus and I'm here to see how it is when JT gets criticised. Everyone has fans who come to their defense or totally disappear in some cases.

The only reason you think it's different from JB fans is because jaylen is criticized nonstop, look in every new thread, multiple detractors at the top of the list. Heck look in ANY other thread on Celtics in general or trade threads, if there is negativity it's likely about JB. So much so that there is a need for more threads all the time (go in the same way). Look at the threads on other players, you don't see the difference? Love fest dominating most of those other threads.

I'd say JB and Smart are the most polarizing guys in terms of having distinct camps in the fanbase for and against.

I honestly don't think the people in this thread are arguing about JB anymore as much as they just want to endlessly re-litigate the perceived micro-aggressions they've suffered at the hands of the other side of the debate over years of the same repetitive argument.

It's like 5 people who seem to think the rest of us enjoy reading their daily insult war and airing of personal grievances.

Size of their role on offense, I'd say, is the common trigger.

Actually I thought it was weird because the first comment to semi derail the thread in this new one like that came from someone who was a big Jaylen fan historically about how “a lot” of people would be mad about him making all nba. Which right now isn’t true. That’s what I’m referring to. Thanks.

Smart got killed for years, Tatum gets killed also. No difference with Jaylen and imo Jaylen gets more weird outlandish praise then any of those guys ever did. So is that in line with others? No, I don’t think it is. If you’ve don’t kiss Jaylens ass you’re labeled a hater which isn’t true even if you say u think he’s a top 25 player in the nba.

If you’ve proposed trading him for mvps you’re a hater- even when that’s in fact a compliment to him. If you’ve been wrong about him and acknowledge it you’re opinion is labeled as irrelevant…so no it’s not in line

Exactly. This is nothing different than what happened with smart for years. This isn’t exclusive to poor Jaylen- however Jaylen imo has way more support of the fan base than smart did.

To be fair though and as you know no one needs anyone to read it and you in fact don’t unless you have to mod. If you don’t enjoy it don’t come in here unless it’s to calm things right ?

No one needs to read this thread but it sucks for fans who would like to read it but are turned off and driven away by the behavior of a small number of people who've highjacked it.

Your OP of this new thread was really good though and I've go no beef with you. I wasn't going to say anything because I prefer the thread to be about JB rather than the toxic atmosphere, but it was already being brought up and I blurted it out.
