Jaylen Brown: “We’re a more organized team this year” | Celtics vs Knicks Postgame Interview

20 points in the first half uh just being aggressive uh taking advantage of you know Mis matage and just playing some basketball having some fun uh Joe let you play through their big run in 202 we cut down toight you guys managed to get back up 20 how did

You guys kind of p through that it seems like that’s a level of trust yeah I wasn’t in during that stretch but uh yeah that’s just a part of uh understanding and having experience and playing with poise teams are going to make runs how can we get

Back um on track and stuff like that and that’s like awareness from us but also awareness from the coaching staff um so you know in the playoffs and times where it gets like that you know timeout would be great but we also got to be great at

Being able to get ourselves settled back down I feel like there’s a different level of poys this season is there do you feel more confident in those situations and what is causing that for sure I think that we’re more organized team this year um we have you know

Actions you just we are you know we think in the game we’re trying to be the smarter Team every night and we take our time we identify you know uh mismatches and we we play the game the right way I think this is one of the best years that

We’ve done that since I’ve been in Celtic you guys obviously added some really significant pieces this offseason but you really hit the ground running and haven’t had any pickups really at all has it surprised you how seamlessly this has all gone so far uh has it surprised me no um we we

We’ve been preparing for the moments that matter most so um that’s all we we focused on we just taking it one day at a time um we trying to come out each and every night be the best version of ourselves we got a talented team you

Know guys in guys out we come out and find ways to win um but we also build in with a mindset toward towards the postseason you mentioned you always want to be the smarter team this year what does that kind of look like to you where the indications that that’s working

Reading the game you know realizing fast but like playing slow recognizing what they’re in how they’re guarding you where their advantages are on the floor and then taking your time so you know not getting too sped up not allowing teams to try to muck up the game we the

More talented team uh we got to be a smarter team as well and when we do that we’re going to be tough to beat was that was the third quarter example when you guys made some seem like some tactical adjustments to Mo poring us around a

Little bit give jayen the other Jaylen a harder time and you were able to open up the game yeah I think we could even be even better on defense I think we gave up a lot of points tonight even though like uh I think what did they have 100

Did they have less than 100 tonight yeah we still could have I think they should have had around 88 and that was just uh some some mistakes that we made that you know in the playoffs and stuff like that we don’t want to make teams get on runs

And we can go y a lot better than we did tonight you guys are eight games up in the EAS conference do you look at the standing are you aware of that no when it comes down to the playoffs or none of that stuff really matters you know I

Feel like you know it’s going to be about matchups it’s going to be about playing hard obviously homec Court matters so that that is key but you know when you get into the thick of it you got to win basketball games regardless of what your seat is if anything it puts

More pressure on you um but I think we’re experi team we’ve been in these situations before and I think we’re ready AIG the of the and that’s kind of process you guys telling guys what has that process been like where where you guys at that now at this point of the

Season I think we’ve been doing it I think we’ve been great at it all year I think we’ve been identifying mismatches playing the game through each other you know we everybody is you know sacrificed a little bit um and we all just you know kind of play the game the way it’s

Supposed to be played I think we’ve been pretty consistent in that all year long you know you know and I think that’s going to be key especially in those moments of adversity when it gets tough how how much can we stick to that game plan but I think we’ve done a good job

All year long of just trusting each other and playing basketball read to basketball play slow it’s like one of Joe’s kind oft principles he’s really found this year how’s that helped you really find what work through your game because you’re someone who really dominates the transition but you also

Get the guys off the dribble and play in that space yes I think it’s made me a more um efficient basketball player um just cuz you know make the game easier for yourself you know I feel like I can score with the best of them on anybody but uh when you identifying and

Manipulating the game and getting the right match match ups on you playing slow taking your time you know those was are easier baskets and then they start doubling um you want to double okay I’m going drag the double out make the right plays and our team is going to get open

Looks so just you know making the game thinking the game manipulating the game is all about uh what we’ve been you know emphasizing this year you were question you’re Rising as the start of this league like you were doing a lot just showing significant amount of skill to

Pull off really hard plays how much are like being a great player is accepting you don’t have to do the amazing things you got do yeah that’s the key I just I think this year has been more um simplifying everything for me just you know getting to my spots um and just

Playing the game you know making easy smart basketball plays cuz it’s going to come a time where the difficulty level is going to get raised and then I’m going have to have to meet the call but for now like for the most part you know for our team I think just benefiting off

Of making just the easy simple play and nothing’s wrong with that thank you
