Four ways Jaylen Brown shifts the energy for the Celtics | Celtics Post up

H my legacy before my time is up I make them all remember me on the blow by oh my God climb the stifle [Applause] Tower brown with time Kar versus brown get that out of here [Applause] shot oh yeah throw it up [Applause] T [Applause]

Nice BR on the blow by top the tomahawk slam Brown good night legendary this is Legacy time now for bringing the heat brought to you by Eastern Propane and oil there in your neighborhood jayen Brown was cooking last night versus the Pacers dropping a season High 40 points

In the controversial loss but Brown has been doing much more than scoring for the Celtics this season that leads us right into forsberg’s for and forsburg you’re right jayen Brown has been doing more than just putting up points for this Celtics team he has and we’re going to highlight everything this the the

Goal of this is to tell you why he should be back in Indie next month for the All-Star Game and there’s no referees here to deter which has been the best defense in the league against Jaylen Brown this season so the num start with 6.4 and that is jaylen’s

League leading possessions finished in transition per game now here’s the thing Mina we know Jaylen Brown likes to get out run the floor there’s only six players in the NBA that have more than five transition possessions per game right now dunan Mitchell sheay gilas Alexander LeBron and dear Fox oh pretty Elite and

But clearly guys that like to get out on the break and get on the Move Jaylen is second in transition points per game at 7.6 behind only SGA and I just love the way he sets the tone for this offense what have we seen more of this season

They are moving and getting in transition and trying to get up the court a whole B lot faster more possessions more intensity when they do and all the end result is usually JB with a nice layup and so need to see more of that and they need to keep that

Intensity cranked because defenses when they don’t have time to set up in front of them good luck trying to stop Jaylen Brown and we see a lot of that in the first quarter as well when jayen Brown is trying to set the tone for this Celtics Team all right what’s coming up

Next all right we’re going to flip it to the other side of the ball and the number is 41.6 and that is the opponent field goal percentage when defended by Jaylen Brown this season it leads the NBA among high volume Defenders someone who’s guarding at least 10 possessions

Per game we did this last night on our pregame show he is up there in terms of differential as well with the Joel em beads of the world the BAM out of BIOS he’s right now he’s holding opponents to 5.8% below expected that’s tied for six overall in the league ironically he’s

Tied with Rudy goar pretty good defender in his own right who we will see here in Boston tomorrow night the Celtics have made a little bit of a change I think they’re putting Jaylen at the point of attack more making him defend ball handlers because he’s just he can use

That length he can use that activity and disrupt them we start at the the postseason last year when he was defending James Harden now he’s not on the wing just waiting for activity or losing a shooter sometimes on a cut Jaylen when he’s engaged is one of the

Better Defenders because he has that athleticism the the the a the verticality that he can go up with and I love what we’re seeing from Jaylen on that side it’s time to start talking about him in All defense Ian oh and Jaylen Brown said he wanted to be a part

Of that conversation right before the season started all right what’s next all right the next number is plus 10.5 and this is Boston net rating when jayen is on the court without Jason Tatum why this matters really going on the entirety of Jason Tatum’s career the Celtics have struggled to score and

Generate consistent offense when he is not on the floor one of the big changes this year is that the the Celtics are actually thriving in those minutes when jayen is on the floor by himself so much so that right now when the two of them are on the court together it’s at plus

10.8 so it’s barely even falling off so Jaylen is essentially keeping up the level of play that starting group is having out there this is a huge change last year was just three plus 3.2 without Jason and the previous Four Seasons total plus 1.4 without Jason on

The court plus 7.9 when they’re both out there all right that’s a lot of numbers I’m your head scramble I see amina’s like already giving me you’ve gone too far you’ve gone too far so I’m going to reel it back in the basic way I can explain this is before the Celtics would

Really struggle without Jason but Jaylen has grown as such a as both a playmaker as a a go-to scorer as someone who can cor an offense that they’re not doing that anymore and this number right here is Elite it deserves a lot of of Spotlight for how good he’s been out

There and I feel like we saw that last night with Jaylen brown with Jason Tatum not being on the floor and him being able to put up 40 points all right last but not least what do you got for all right the last number is 63.7 and you

Knew I wasn’t going to do a whole segment on Jaylen Brown without folding in Chris staps porzingis at some point we have to talk about bro zingis this is Boston’s true shooting percentage when that Jaylen and porzingis combo is on the floor that would lead the league by

1.8% ironically indies’s up there at number one at 61.9% the Celtics at 3.3% better with that combo on the floor and it’s no surprise right like both can can beat you in different ways Jaylen in the mid-range porzingis be on the three-point Arc and they’ve got this

Chemistry this year JB has assisted on 34 Chris thops porzingis buckets 123 17 buckets at The Rim tied fourth most combo on the team which you don’t think of because you don’t think of Jaylen as a high assist guy but man all he needed was Chris out there someone to work with

And now the results are shining and so we need more bro zingis I still need people to tell me what that uh that nickname is that there secret we’re still trying to find out we got to investigate so we we we need a real investigation I’ve had some people tell

Me some stuff online some stuff that I don’t know if I believe but we’re we’re we’re going to do some further digging and we’ll we’ll Circle back in another for we got to figure out that nickname for Chris foringas and Jay LeBron I’m very curious to find out what it is
