Jaylen Brown: Celtics Have Been BLESSED with Great Locker Room | Postgame Interview 1/17/24

Jaylen Brown: Celtics Have Been BLESSED with Great Locker Room | Postgame Interview 1/17/24

Jordan Walsh gets in uh what was it like kind of watching The Crowd get behind him and you know what have you seen from him doing the work behind the scenes yeah uh The Rook has just been working man uh it’s getting better developing um know obviously he’s been down to main um

But we’ve been hearing good things so to see him get out there and right away you know show some signs of improvement like just get out there and grab four rebounds and you know and so he’s you can see like he he’s got some talent and he’s just he’s just working

So’s what stood out to you about Luke’s impact tonight just the way he stepped into the starting line up in that match up against wmy uh just being solid at times we need him to be a little bit more um protect the to protect the rim

And Etc but you know to to get put in that position tonight against you know someone who is a freak of nature I thought Luke did a a pretty decent job but just being big having his hands in there and uh uh just executing our details on defense jayen along those lines no

Matter who’s been out that reserve unit has really stepped up how important is it I mean for their confidence but also for you guys to see that yeah uh it’s extremely important for the for the growth and development of our team so even like tonight like I you know we

Played through those guys a little bit Payton Sam getting those guys touches and in games like this is it’s important to to to build confidence and get our guys feeling good problem because it’s a it’s a long season Once you get put in those moments down the line you know you

Look back into to these moments and seeing if you could like Foster and help your guys get opportunities cuz it might help you down the line so you know tonight like tonight you know Payton playing well even neimi getting in there um showing some great signs you know could potentially

Help us down the line and then this was game 41 halfway through the season how are you feeling about where you guys are at uh I feel good I don’t think we skipped no steps I think we still are improving this is a part of the the the

Regular season where you got to embrace because you can get complacent you can get mentally you know mentally like checked out but you know we’re trying to make sure that we all are all engaged and this is where you build like your endurance for long playoff drive so um

This is a part of the regular season I think is the most important you know going into Allstar break ET teams start to count the days and and we’re going to just keep stacking the win so um we got a we got a lock in for this last 15 15 game stretch or

Whatever uh Jaylen there’s a player at the start of the fourth quarter where you uh you passed it through the legs 20 shaper set and then you sort of looked at the bench and you pointed were you pointing to anybody or you just getting hyped because of the play oh no they was

Giving me uh they was giving me from my behind the back pass in the first half um you know I was looking for Payton on the behind the back but Payton be running so fast sometimes and I just mistimed it so they was giving me some

and I got that one um and they were still giving me after but that’s what that was was it anybody in particular everybody trash um particularly Derek Derek d i he was like I don’t know you know he was just teasing me a little bit

But it’s all fun man uh playing a game sharing the ball you know getting better at the same time so it’s all in it’s all been fun thanks uh JD Davidson spoke on a podcast this week about how you’ve been a big Mentor for him and he was

With the team obviously tonight um could you share a little bit more about what your relationship with him is like look like and kind of what you see for him in the league yeah man uh JD got a lot of talent we both from the south you know

From um I know he’s from Alabama but uh you know even when he was in high school you would hear a lot about him you know he had a lot of hype and uh and stuff like that so when he got here you know uh I definitely just wanted to reach out

To him make sure he was good um you know it’s different moving from in the South and then coming out into Boston you know when I was that age you know it was a lot for me so just trying to help him with his experience but then on

The court just developing the mindset mentality know JD uh as he’s getting older you can see like he’s developing more of a um a tenacity more of a urgency you know like you can’t just come in and just be relaxed and think everything is going to come to you

Sometimes you got to force it sometimes you got to make stuff happen um and stuff like that so you know um just a little stuff like that um but you know JD is a good good kid good guy and I’ve enjoyed having them around question Jaylen you guys have

Held your opponents under 100 points in back-to-back games what do you see working on that end um we develop in some some some different habits we working on some stuff we played a little bit of Zone playing a little bit of man just um trying to expand our Horizons

You know Etc so um I think that you know we’ve definitely been focusing on that side of the ball um so we got to continue to keep that up especially during this next 15 games Jaylen that uh viral photo from the plane and really took off no pun

Intended um is that a weather thing like how does that get posted how does everyone agree to share it and then also more importantly can you talk about the character of this group halfway point of the Season what do you know about this group what do you know about their

Personality as a group and what do you still need to learn um it’s been a pleasure you know I’ve been on some great teams and we’ve got some great locker rooms and this this marks up with one of the best you know groups and teams and character that we’ve had you

Know we all get along um it’s a good atmosphere we got guys that come to work every day that are trying to improve and get better and all of that stuff you don’t take for granted you know cuz you hear other things and other locker rooms

And and it don’t always be that way so know the last few years I think we’ve been blessed I’ve been personally blessed to have a great locker room and how that picture came about I’m not even sure I think I was like halfway sleep

And uh you know I think it was like JT’s idea we seen some other teams do it and stuff like that no I think we we haven’t done it in a long time maybe since like my rookie year we haven’t done a picture like that so um you know O’Shea is nice

With the camera so um we uh we took the pick and just capture some moments you never know how things may go in this league and you know it’s a guy it’s a group that we enjoy being around each other so that was a nice picture thank

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown, after contributing 21 points in the Celtics’ 117-98 win over the Spurs, spoke about the team and its remarkable home record of 20-0 this season. He highlighted the importance of their connection with the city of Boston and the positive atmosphere within the team. “The last few years, I think we’ve been blessed, I’ve been personally blessed with a great locker room,” Brown remarked, emphasizing the supportive and cohesive environment among the players, which has been a key factor in their success. This sentiment was especially relevant in a game that showcased talents like Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama on the Celtics’ renowned parquet floor.
