Should The Celtics Keep Jaylen Brown? Brian Scalabrine Discusses | 05/30/23
NBC Sports Boston’s Brian Scalabrine joins the Dan Patrick Show and discusses whether or not the Boston Celtics should keep Jaylen Brown as well as how Brown and Jayson Tatum fit alongside together
Boston biggest problem is no knock down shooter so they dont have enough spacing to operate and that's because they had the chance to get Duncan Robinson for Grant Williams and didnt. And just decided that everything was good. Maybe it would have been if Gallinari wasn't hurt
No, but yeah he can't dribble ever again. Games 4 and 5 tatum was the primary ball handler and they dominated those games. I thought they figured t out until they came out in 6 and went back to that garbage throw as many 3 pointer up as possible. I think they need to work on that more for next season
I'd see if the Hawks are still interested in moving Murray, Collins and a 2023 1st for Brown. I'd actully prefer Okongwu and an additional 1st in place of Collins, but they seem desperate to move him.
please no JB, even without supermax (for JB? IDIOCY!) I don't want him. Fed up after watching him from 2017. And Scal is, basically, a talking mouth with no brain behind it. You should look at his predictions going to 2020 ECF. People who get all hot and heavy over "superstar" JB are…idiots. Scal is a waste of time.
Ask yourself a simple question-can Brown be a no1 option on championship team? No. Can he be no2? Maybe, but not with Tatum as No1. So, you have to trade him. Problem is his value has gotten overinflated because of Boston success in last couple of years where they overachieved. So, if you sign him with a max and try to trade him, I think you will be unpleasantly surprised with what you can get. He is not as good of an asset as you think, especially with that tag price.
Vulnerability built into Mazulla Ball. One dimensional no second options or fallback options in case the shots don’t go in… The epitome of incompetent and unprepared leadership…!!!!🍀🍀🍀💯
The Boston Celtics appear to lack determination and toughness, with no evident leadership and an inexperienced coach. There are instances where Jalen Brown overexerts himself to outperform JT, ultimately making bad decisions. On the other hand, the Miami HEAT team exemplifies toughness and resilience, while the Celtics seem lackluster and inadequate in comparison, resembling a high school team.
Celtics problems yesterday: 1) Coach: Tatum should have sat down all/more. 2) J. Brown should have stepped up, instead he lost a lot of market value. 3) Al, bless his heart, was fatigued – too many playoff minutes. 4) Time Lord shooting more and even dribbling! But more rebounds – he could be Bill Russel II. Consistent passion escapes the entire rotation except White, Smart and the injured Brogdon.
The Failure in this yrs ECF is reflective of Management and Ownerships poor decision making in regards to the Coach situation this organization faced to start this season…
Their decision reflected that they’ve decided not to take this season seriously to the players… Who still came out and performed to which the organization gave credit to the Coach for mysteriously… Then he’s FULLY EXPOSED as a fraud in the first game of the ECF and proceeds to lose 3 straight games saying Offense, Offense, Offense is my philosophy and so we converted a team built for defensive prominence into an offensively limited & minded philosophy that was deceptively fluent in the regular season when teams aren’t exerting as much energy and effort on defense as in the playoffs… It’s always harder in the postseason… And that’s why and When Defense MATTERS… Any SUCCESSFUL Coach knows that…!!! Obviously Joe’s not a successful Coach…
His accomplishments are owed to the strength of this teams roster He added NOTHING to Winning this season…!!!! I don’t understand what you bring Joe back for…? More live & Die by the 3 with not so great shooters…! This is beyond Idiotic. #BradsOxymoronicAndCounterproductiveExistence
Brown has an injured left wrist which happened in game 1 of the ECF and lawry re aggravated it in game 6. But all we hear is excuses for tatum time and time again. I know its never happen, but I seriously hope Brown turns down their offer and move on. This dude gets disrespected time and time again. The celtics does nothing to put him in spots where he can shine, they only do it for tatum. The first quarter of G7 the Celtics were running tatums plays for Brown while tatum was in the corner like Brown usually is and he was excelling. They went away from it and made him get tough shots and we all know what happens next. Put him on a team that will utilize his strength and yall will be begging for him back…
Wanting him to beg to stay when he took the blame is stupid. We wouldn't even be in the playoffs without Jaylen but he needs to vastly improve his ball handling skills and be more aggressive driving down the lane cause he has explosive speed that he doesn't use to his advantage.
That was such a bandwagon fan for the 2008 Celtics. Just so happy for them. Now I’m falling in love with the Celtics all over again. I really wish more teams would just stay together. It would be so much nicer. I kind of wish the balls would all get back together and be the original goals again and all the Celtics will get back together and be the Celtics again I miss that there’s not that camaraderie especially with Ray. I wish I could work on it even more.
Celtics front office are the ones should be blame. Promoting Brad Stevens to President of Basketball Operations was not the best move since during his time they were establishing team identity or culture like Miami does. Imagine Miami having the Celtics roster they probably would have won 2 championships alteady.
Scal had a valid statement in there: "Against a team like Miami, you need to do less." True! The Celtics are missing a great coach who can mold these talented players into a team than can have a fast simple offense which takes advantage of JB's and JT's strengths. This hasnt been done yet. Ime came close.
The problem is the C's don't have a legit point guard that creates easier scoring opportunities for their offense who is also a capable knockdown shooter in his own right. I love Marcus Smart and at times he shown that he can do both but the team needs someone who can do it all of the time. Brogdon can shoot with the best of them but he's not really what they need as a playmaker. White might be the best option on the team but unless the coaching staff implement an offensive system that still works when threes aren't falling,he might not be able to change anything.
When Jaylen was asked that question, he wasn't thinking about the summer, he was thinking about how awful he was in Game 7 and how an arena full of Cs fans booed him on his 8th turnover.

JB the turnover machine!
Two words: keep him
I'd see if the Hawks are still interested in moving Murray, Collins and a 2023 1st for Brown. I'd actully prefer Okongwu and an additional 1st in place of Collins, but they seem desperate to move him.
Would Be A Damn FOOL TO TRADE HIM! HE DIDN'T PUT THEM IN HOLE 0-3.. THE TEAM DID..
Yes you sign him to it. Going to have to stay relevant. It’s possible to trade later but you have to stay competetive. Especially salary wise.
please no JB, even without supermax (for JB? IDIOCY!) I don't want him. Fed up after watching him from 2017. And Scal is, basically, a talking mouth with no brain behind it.

Folks b reacting to all this because of the last few games. Wake up!

I wouldn't pay him 20 bucks.

Brown for Trae Young works. Jaylen is from Atlanta. It works out
I will never trade jaylen brown

Rookie coach was a step backwards
Al is too old to be switching on to guards same problem as last year
Smart needs to come off the bench his shooting and 11ppg (check his ranking amongst point guards) is not enough to start.
Rob Williams 5 years in the league no offense, no shot no post game 🤦🏾♂️.
And No consistent shot creators off the bench which is why we go through scoring droughts
Celtics Management should be at fault!
