[Highlight] Jaylen Brown picks up two quick technicals for the ejection
Why can Draymond do this every game? Perplexes me
Yea, seeing that happen to JB then compare it to what Draymond does every game, it’s amazing Draymond ever finishes a single game lol
Draymond should have missed like half his career via suspensions
It becomes the standard that everyone else is compared to and it makes them look like utter hypocrites.
If it was Draymond, they would’ve just stood there staring at him as he continued to berate them in their face and would never call the second technical.
wouldnt surprise me if refs have an unspoken understanding or have been given directions to give Draymond a long leash
Dray’s “hack” is that he usually keeps it about the basketball and doesn’t go after the refs themselves. I think it gets him out of a lot of situations
I’ve literally watched him scream “that’s bullshit” directly into a refs face countless times without getting ejected.
I was at a game years ago and Luka went on for like a full minute and the refs just held the game up. It just kept going and the PA guy played something like the jeopardy theme (I think). The Timberwolves players were barking about starting the game again….
It just went on and on.
Refs in the NBA are just shit.
Luka is the biggest whiner but in no way does he compare to draymond and his mile long leash.
I’m not saying he is Green, but it is an example how some guys get to bitch for as long as they want and others some games can’t say anything.
What Draymond does night in and night out to officials is WAY worse than this. What Brown did is Draymond’s baseline
EDIT: Ha 15% downvoted…hmm I wonder who is brigading on this post 😜
And it’s absolutely bullshit
It’s literally crazy. You would think Draymond would have the shortest leash because of how much he goes at the refs, but it’s almost like they just got used to it. Never consistent reffing. Tatum can clap and get T’d up while Draymond can verbally abuse them for years.
True
This is a no call for Draymond
He is special to Silver.
I can’t really tell when Jaylen is saying here, but I think the thing with Draymond is that he is good about keeping the very loud yelling about the actual play and not attacking the refs personally.
Never seen him this mad at the officials
He was mad as well the last time the Celtics was matched against the Spurs
Maybe it’s the 8 free throws combined for the Celtics in the 3 halves we faced you this year.
3 halves is a funny way describe that
Does add context
Your team shoots threes or midrange shots as much as anyone out there. You guys shouldn’t be getting a lot of fouls.
I can’t say for certain if this stat is still true but I checked a few weeks ago and JB was top 3 in the league in drives per game and around 10th in freethrows. That’s not to discredit what you’re saying, we do shoot a lot of 3s, I just think there’s more to the conversation than some people initially think.
You’re dead last in FTA this season so it doesnt happen when you only play against the Spurs. Go blame the NBA or something
Don’t watch a lot of Celtics games, but do they average more than 5 FTAs per game? Because if so, you’re making a pretty weak counterargument.
I’ll add on to that argument. The Spurs foul the 2nd LEAST in the league. So you put a team that gets to the FT line the least in the league against a team that doesnt foul. It’s going to lead to very few FTs
Lol. Jaylen drives a lot
The refs brought their national TV whistles tonight.
So you know it’s and, the spurs reffing the last game him get his fine 20k fine, he straight up said it 8 fre throws for the entire game. I won’t lie reffing at nuggets, spurs and okc games have been out of pocket
It was an insanely bad missed call and happened right in front of the ref. Jaylen blacked out in rage. Hope the boys are fired up
Hard disagree, it was foul maybe. I’m definitely 50⁄50 on it. The refs were letting them play. It was a physical game, both teams were going back and forth and Jaylen lost his mind over a soft missed call.
You could even watch the ref listen to him before the first tech. He was gonna let it go. Jaylen yelled at him, then turned and walked away. All good. Jaylen then turned back because he had to say one last thing and that was the first tech. It’s not like Jaylen said one thing and the refs went crazy.
Jaylen for sure crashed out
ugh what a great game so far, this sucks
I’ve been watching Brown for 10 years now and I’ve never seen him anywhere close to this mad before. Has to of been something more than just that one missed call. Either frustration from last spurs game or consistently getting a weak whistle
Feens act like only basketball can piss these guys off, he could have shit going on personally and that’s why he’s so mad, there’s a life outside the game
You’re not wrong
it’s Ramadan. our man is starving
“Has to of been?” C’mon now
he was trying to impress his Idol Wembenyama
Refs love to eject players in big games
Honestly they need to do it more often with some players.
Draymond does what JB just did every single night
Yeah, and he should’ve been thrown out much more than he has.
Then the NBA struggles with ratings. But they don’t wanna straighten out their very fallible refs
I feel like some of you read something years ago and think it still applies to now. The NBA just entered an insane tv deal, their ratings did not effect this deal.
Bad call but he let the initial frustration slide already and only gave the next few yells at him a tech. He then came back and ran right at him which you can’t not tech. Brown earned those techs. Cases like this you just hope the ref gives you a make-up call instead of trying to fight them.
To get 2 technicals back to back tho for a guy that is always even keel, he must have said some nasty shit
Killed an exciting game with some boneheaded calls. Refs are soft like charmin
Or players could idk not go into the refs face after picking up a tech
i expected a tech for smiling after reading the comments. going straight towards a ref while shouting in his face seconds after the first tech is just dumb by brown.
green does that multiple times every game, the more techs he gets the longer his leash is
It’s not even the ref who threw him out.
Are we watching the same game? He completely lost control lol. Over nothing too, replay seems pretty much clean. No reason to continue after the first tech.
People always get angry when a player gets ejected, but sometimes players deserve it. You can’t be abusive to refs. It wouldn’t be acceptable to do that at any other job to coworkers (they all are a part of the league).
I cannot imagine behaving that way at my age and I’m a few years younger than brown lol. Absolutely unhinged behavior.
Boston fans in here downvoting everything when it was justified. They gave him an out before the first tech and then he kept going. Then had three staffers holding him back as he kept going at the ref as if he was gonna fight him
firs tech was dumb by the ref but jaylen went absolute brainrot mode right after he can’t be doing this
Idk what came over him he lost his shit
there was like 2 or 3 celtics staff guys holding him back lol he had no business over reacting that much
He was straight up slobbering
First tech was not dumb. Missed call or not he was in the refs face. You’re getting teed up for that 100% of the time. Jaylen didn’t stop and didn’t cool down. I could see an argument for the other ref giving him the tech but I think you let the ref who Jaylen is talking to make that call. Especially if he’s a vet like Ford is.
First tech was fine and also warranted. Ford was gonna let it go until JB turned back towards him and pointed at him yet again. That should have gave him the hint to shut the fuck up, but then he went berserk over not getting his flop called lol
Whatever Brown said must have been pretty bad because his teammates immediately reacted and tried to get him away. He must have said one of the don’t say words or crossed some kind of line for a quick hook like that in a big game. I’m starting to wonder if he maybe isn’t just a huge asshole to be honest.
This is what I noticed too. They RUSHED to keep him away from the ref.
Also, it’s always nice to talk about any team besides the Bulls with other Bulls fans.
You are mentally ill. Jaylen was fuckin too heated here.
Is Jaylen normally a chill dude? I was surprised to see him so heated.
Only his 2nd time ever being thrown out of a game.
He is, which is impressive because he statistically gets the worst whistle in the nba. Top 5 in drives per game, top 2 in FGA per drive.. no where close to top 5 in fouls drawn per drive.
That’s what I don’t get this had to happen to him before and he’s got the experience. Wonder if it’s a cumulative of several games.
100% is. He’s been pretty vocal (albeit calmly) about his frustrations with the refs this season
His tweet implies it’s mounting frustration with how he sees that he’s treated by the officials. It wasn’t anything egregious but it was also clearly a build up over the course of the game, Celtics had a bunch of calls go against them leading up to this, some where there, some weren’t and it had clearly just boiled over for him.
Overreaction for sure in the context of the foul he wanted but he definitely is hosed by the refs in general quite a lot
Top 5 in drives per game, top 2 in FGA per drive.. no where close to top 5 in fouls drawn per drive.
Imo, trying to correlate these sort of stats is a waste of time.
However, it is worth pointing out that the Celtics are (as of 3/9/26) 27th in FT disparity at -206, so they’ve generally been on the wrong end of the whistle this year – they finished last year 8th at +114.
He is almost never like this
He’s normally chill but gets fiery like that when amped up
He’s legit the chillest, had enough of the refs
I have literally never seen him this mad
Yeah this is one of the only elections his entire career, he’s been getting hacked all game. Was bound to happen honestly
Only his 2nd ejection in 10 years, this was exceptional bullshit from the refs
It takes a lot for him to snap like this imo
That little bald ref is such a loser
Looked like he was gonna shrug off the second T, other ref came in and made that call
He shrugged off the first T too. Brown just kept going. Can’t do that
Brown wanted the first one to make a point. Second one was by the other dude and not necessary
Yeah I think this is the point a lot of people here are missing. The second tech was called by the ref not involved in the interaction, and the ref that was involved was the “chief” official or whatever. So if anyone’s going to make that call it should be the crew chief here
“He was walking toward the ref. You gotta protect the ref”. lol Reggie excusing soft ass refs. How dare you walk towards one.
Brown needs to control himself. This is the shit draymond does that everyone gets pissed about him getting away with
He also let Jaylen walk away from the first T twice. He just kept coming back
He had plenty of chances to restrain himself. Walk away after the first tech and let Mazzulla give the ref an earful. Purely blaming Tyler Ford is letting Brown off easy
He missed the push and called the first tech (def fair) but was smart enough to not call the 2nd tech. Other ref did that, so weird
You mean they missed the flop. There was no amount of contact that sent Brown crumbling to the sideline like that.
He put up with it for quite a while….. can’t really blame him on this one. He’s also not the one that gave him the 2nd technical. Can’t blame the other guy for the 2nd technical either, JB was charging pretty aggressively lol. May have missed a call on the push but no reason for JB to blow a gasket like that.
You know you’re gonna have a bad time when Tyler Ford is on the floor with a whistle in his mouth
Draymond woulda gotten a stern walkaway by the refs smh
I mean he may have missed a call (that he was being blocked from seeing through Brown’s body) and he gave Brown a long leash to complain, but Brown wouldn’t let it go so he got the first tech
Second tech wasn’t called by him and he probs shouldn’t have gotten it. Things just started calming down
Things just started calming down
The fuck are you talking about? He was approaching the ref yelling/pointing at him and his teammates(Derrick White + 1 other guy at least) literally ran to him to restrain him because they knew he was crossing a line.
Both of them are. The bald one didn’t even hit him with the second T. Fuck these chump refs.
Ruined such a goooood game fk
he tried to let it go. the other ref was the one who called shenanigans and ended Brown’s night.
stop trying to charge the officials… the push off debatable and his angle maybe he saw a lil floppage. let it go. you gonna fight a dude with a whistle in his mouth?
absolutely is but brown also raised his fist at the ref and that’s an instant 2nd tech
Damn, that escalated quickly
It really didn’t, they gave him a long time to move on
Draymond and Luka do this 3x a game lmao
They don’t go charging at an official multiple times. Well Luka doesn’t. Draymond gets away with everything
When was Luka given a tech, walked away, then circle back try to go at the same ref and have to be held back by his teammates?
Literally six days ago. He got a tech for complaining about not getting a lane violation call (he was right in fairness). Went to go at the ref when Austin Reaves had to hold him back.
Luka wasnt this mad and upset, but it is still fundamentally what you asked for.
They should get tossed too
It’s just tough when other guys in the NBA who are known to be hot heads get much longer leashes than a guy like Brown who never gets this upset. In a great national TV game too.
We can say Draymond lol
Yeah not at all worth it
It was 100% fords smug ass reaction
I don’t blame brown at all
He had that look on his face, Joe.
lol Jaylen said my wallet is open and the check gonna clear. Ima get my money’s worth
He’s been getting no whistle this whole game. This was bound to happen.
yeah these refs are straight ass, don’t think anyone wanted to see Brown ejected
Oooo man it was such a good game too boooooo refs
truly just terrible for the fans. two great teams and now this happens. i wanna see my stars play against wemby man
Goes all the way back to the last spurs game. 4 total team fts
season*
Truly.
All season ngl
As happens far too often, the referees just ruined a potentially great game.
Fuck Boston but they consistently get these weird techs ex Tatum looking away from the refs clapping
As a Celtics fan I appreciate you recognizing some of the B.S. calls they get. In saying that I wish Tatum complained less to the refs (or at least that’s what I said in the past. I haven’t had a chance to watch a game since he’s come back).
That’s the tim Duncan special tech
Nah man, Jaylen was asking for that 2nd tech. You can’t be mad at the ref for actually calling it. Brown did it to himself. And what makes it worse is that he flopped and was just mad it bait the ref
I mean, JB was a moron for continuing to so aggressively pursue and yell at the officials after the first tech. Sure, you can say the refs suck, but given we all know that, JB also should’ve fucking chilled out after the first tech. He got even more agressive after that and that’s fucking dumb
bro this is a fucking national TV game between two marquee teams we want to see the stars
I completely agree but that man was saying things you cannot say for a minute straight. They gave him every out.
I haven’t seen a. Double tech like that In person in a long time
His teammates held him back multiple times. Looked like he wanted to fight a ref
Bro we had 3 staffers on the court holding him back at the end
It was crazy
you have no idea what he said
You’re there? What did he say?
“Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!”
Wow. Straight to jail.
What did he say?
I’m not gonna lie Jaylen really just lost his head entirely, they gave him alot of time to cool out
I like J Brown and he might be right but you cant sell a game like this for a dumbass out of bounds call, man. This was being such a great game too
Absolutely moronic by Brown. Suck that shit up and play on.
They will kick your ass out for that crash out every single time.
Hell, get a tech to make a point even. But to come back for more is ridiculous
Brown has been very frustrated with the refs the entire season, definitely not about that specific play only
May I introduce you to one Draymond Green?
He got mildly touched in the hip, flopped, then got pissed his acting wasn’t convincing enough.
We get annoyed when Luka does it, when SGA does it, when any other superstar does it. Stop fucking doing it.
I get he’s mad but getting tossed is probably not worth
its his 2nd career ejection. 2nd tech definitely warranted, first one is a tech depending on who you are. Draymond gets away with that first one 11 times out of 10
It is worth it. A star player getting ejecting in a key game isn’t a good look for the league. Adam will make a call and the refs to chill out on JB next time.
Celtics announcers said 2nd career ejection. In 10 years, for some context.
i’m ready for the Derrick White monster game incoming
Ask and you shall receive!
The White Devil will have his revenge
I mean it sucks but you can’t walk up to a ref like you’re about to beat him up after getting a tech
These guys think ppl are here to watch them.
worst part is they are missing almost every call for both sides. Calling flops and not calling obvious fouls. They are so bad lmao
blows a call, and then eject a guy for being mad, bunch of soft ass loser refs
he didnt eject the guy it was the other ref
He’s a loser too
This clip conveniently cuts in right at the first tech as if it was instant - in reality the ref let JB get PLENTY of venting out before he finally called the first one. 2nd one is entirely on JB, what a pointless crash out.
Bro just crashed out
Ref let him vent too, it wasn’t a quick tech. Brown took it too far: first T.
Then he went back for more lol
Yea the foul wasn’t that bad for him to crash out that bad. The Celtics have been getting a decent whistle this game, we didn’t see Wemby crash out after getting swatted in the face.
Welp there goes a great game lol.
I mean, I get it sucks to get two techs like that
But Brown has to be smarter there, obviously the guy getting restrained by teammates for yelling at a ref is gonna get a tech
He got the tech before he was restrained
Soft ass ejection
This probably won’t be popular but both of those techs seem pretty reasonable. Maybe the first one was a little soft, but the 2nd one was 100% a tech.
Brown lost his cool and approaching the ref like that after the first tech while yelling/pointing at him is always going to be called a tech.
Tyler Ford can go fuck himself.
I get why he’s mad, take the first tech and go cool down, now he’s going to cost his team the game
Luka would have thirty techs this season if that level of reaction warranted a double tech
Not that you’re wrong, but there’s not many easier ways to earn an ejection than immediately barking at a ref after earning a tech. it’s the quick succession that gives the refs an easy motive
That was pretty good bitching by JB though, a 7.5⁄10 on the Luka scale.
This guy was shooting 50% and had 7 AST in 14mins of play. He’d gone at Wemby a few times and was getting triple-teamed by the Spurs at one point.
Castle pushed him out of bounds and the referee who was standing less than 3ft away said it was Spurs ball, Brown questioned the call. He’d been no-called 3-4x already.
Brown has been a little contentious with the officiating in his postgame comments when he and the Celtics have failed to get whistles, but he’s never been wrong about it this season. This isn’t a player who’s flopping on the court trying to get calls like Shai, he’s not whining to the refs after every play like Luka or Tatum.
This just ruined an incredible game and deprived the fans.
This game started with Wemby getting full face palmed giving him a nasty bloody nose. A flagrant foul wasn’t called and the Spurs moved on.
Garbage
No. He deserved it
Yeah I wish he was in for the whole game, but you just can’t be basically charging the ref
Weak as fuck
Soft ass referees.
Hate to see it. But he earned those calls.
Dude was pointing and yelling at the ref for 30 seconds straight and people are gonna be mad he got a tech. Then he gets the tech and keeps coming back and yelling at the refs
Brought to you by FanDuel!
Spurs fan here, WHY was he ejected?????????!?!?!?!?
That other ref was not even the one he was talking to, he was talking to the first ref asking for an explanation for a tech
What would help this clip is the actual play before this so people who didn’t watch the game would know what led up to this.
Castle was guarding him next to the line and put his hands on his back, looks like Brown lost his footing or was trying to sell it because he extends his back leg and falls out of bounds, gets heated because he says he was shoved out. Crazy reaction for what happened.
joke league,. That is luka every possession
Draymond too. It’s bs. Fuck you adam silver
Half pint got in his feelings.
Relax short kings, I’m 5’7” he’s probably taller than me.
firstly, draymond green doesnt get ejected for that. secondly, he was clearly pushed out of bounds. thirdly, we want to see JB, not the refs
That second tech was stupid. The first one was whatever but should have let the second one go.
I have little sympathy for the call complaining here. Yes, Castle fouled him. Yeah, the refs missed it.
You complain- as Brown did- and then drop it. He didn’t drop it. On a play that wasn’t gonna alter the game.
I am simply tired of watching adult professionals act worse to the refs than I would allow in a high school game. And yeah, waaaay too many guys are allowed to behave this way. It’s ruining the game. Let your coach fight it if it still needs to be fought, but I’m tired of these guys
I mean it was a push but Brown just kept going. You gotta know when to stop.
Nice product Adam Silver
NBA fans always bemoan players complaining to refs and then get mad when the league tries to stop it
I’m surprised by the amount of people defending Brown here. The touch/push was minimal. I didn’t think it was a foul. And it certainly didn’t warrant him complaining this much. I wasn’t surprised he was thrown out, that was a lack of self control.
Refs love ruing the game, cause they were never good enough to be actual players
Jaylen earned that 2nd T.
Stupid.
Definitely a push but how dumb you have to be to continue to egg it on in a pivotal game…..
Didn’t want him ejected it was a fun game, but it was a deserved ejection because that contact absolutely did not necessitate that reaction to a no call
Weak ass shit.
Nah JB has got to do better here
Tech was warranted but if the league wants to keep pushing gambling at some point they better take into consideration not only the experience of fans watching the game but also potentially millions of dollars they’ve commingled with their product. Let a ref ruin a game and make a decision with lots of money involved. I say this a non gambler with no money on the line.
